Roger Clemens you are not Naomi Campbell by Suzannah B. Troy



I wrote several powerful postings on Naomi Campbell and in them I humorously wrote super models do not go to jail. I am guessing that Roger Clemens thought the same thing about future Hall of Famers but he may be wrong.

I thought Naomi Campbell would go to jail for perjury but after allegedly lying she went and partying up a storm in Italy.

Roger Clemens may not be so lucky even though the USA makes celebrities in to demi-gods, not accountable and mostly above the law.

There are amazing articles written about Roger Clemens in the local New York papers and here are just a few links.

Clemens’ defiance started this dreary, never-ending saga
Trading his shot at Hall of Fame for Hall of Shame
Former New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens put himself in jam with Congress by testifyingThere are more great pieces by sports writers but I would be here all day.


Bottom line is this is a very sad fall from grace and a warning to celebrities as if they have not received enough -- you are not above the law, keep kidding yourself you are and you hopefully will be in for a rude awakening....
