Is Roger Clemens Seeking a Pardon?

[BAMAPHIN 22]

Now that the current President Bush is nearing the end of his term, traditionally an occasion for numerous pardons, Clemens' name is again coming up in discussions of potential pardon recipients. An Associated Press article mentions him alongside people like former Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, American Taliban member John Walker Lindh and imprisioned financier Conrad Black when discussing who might get pardoned.

He'd probably get it. I doubt American Taliban will.

Why in the world would the Taliban fighter get pardoned?

What has Clemens done to deserve a pardon? I could understand if he was some great humanitarian who saved millions of lives but broke some kind of rule to do it. But he's an athlete, lying to the government about taking steroids, is that really pardon worthy?

No clue, I don't even know why he'd bother asking.

As to Clemens...he's a baseball star from Texas..maybe that's what he's shooting for?
