Poor Martha Stewart.

It isn't a popular notion to feel sorry for her, but I do have to wonder how much of the venom directed her way is specific to her being a successful woman.
I'll withold sympathy until the sentencing though (unless I've missed that already?) as often upper class white collar criminals get off with very little actual jail time and just have to pay a bunch of money to someone.

I think the purpose of the Martha Stewart trial is to divert attention away from Enron.

Fuck Martha Stuart!

Fuck that neo-nazi, facist, racist, no-good, lilly white, rich-bitch, WASP cunt! And you can quote me!

I'm a feminist. I direct no venom toward Stewart due to her success.

I simply believe that she received a stock tip when she shouldn't have, and panicked. *shrug*

I was still surprised at the verdicts, however.

Enron?

Well.

I bear no ill will toward the woman. I think she made a very human (read: stupid) mistake.

She certainly should be punished. White collar criminals are criminals all the same.

Does it make you feel better to know that she lost $183 million in one day?

I've never been really clear on why stock tips are illegal... I took economics but didn't do really well at it.
I guess that's why I'm not rich!
