Yeah, right. Let's toss Clemens into a cell that might better be occupied by a child molester, drug trafficker, spy, terror suspect, rapist, wife beater, or other scum.

Yes, we should punish people for lying under oath. We've had presidents get away with perjury, but most other people would be punished for deceiving the justice system and making libelous accusations that could land an innocent person behind bars.
I'm not saying Clemens should be sentenced to 20 years in a maximum security facility, I just think we should stop making exceptions for celebrities. A couple months in jail plus thousands of hours of community service would probably be enough to send the message that rich people have to pay for their crimes too.
