Give Martha's Cell Your Special Touch

Tacky. Tacky, tacky, tacky--but not illegal.

Martha Stewart fought hard to become a Domestic Guru and an Arbitrator of American Taste. She devoted considerable energy to becoming a public figure. The present lampooning orgy is part of the "Live by the Sword, Die by the Sword" way of the world.

The contest uses Martha Stuart's name and fame--but unless she goes seeking humiliation, she will probably not be inconvenienced personally.

Re: Give Martha's Cell Your Special Touch


I agree with ya Phoenix. I saw this bit on the news on the day the trial finished where a comment was made that what Martha did really didn't hurt anyone, not like what happened in the Enron scandal. Whatever happened to those weasel Enron execs anyhow?

I don't think the fact that lying is done all the time should be an excuse in this (or any) situation, but I also don't think they should be making an example out of her. It just seems the time, money and headlines are out of proportion with the crime.

Mind you, in the end, she's likely still going to be a wealthy woman. Not as wealthy as before, and definitely not as powerful, but still wealthy enough to not have any worries. So in that regard, I can't feel TOO sorry for her.

What did happen to those Enron creeps? Plus, what a waste of taxpayer money - the trial & then if she spends time in some prison. Couldn't she just do some type of community service.

That's been my mantra from day 1...as long as Ken Lay walks the streets, so should Martha Stewart.

I saw this coming. It was inevitable I guess. I think she was punished for a lot of reasons, not neccessarily just the case. I don't think it was fair. We'll see what the sentencing will be, I'm cursious if a judge will throw the book at her in terms of a jailterm.

I doubt if Ken Lay will be charged until Bush is out of government.

Today we'll be decorating with license plates and empty cigarette boxes. It's a good thing.
