Martha Stewart went to prison---is she worse than the former administration?

[young_at_heart]

Her crime?----she lied. Something is not right in all this!

[HopeHoops]

1. Worse?

Have you seen the shit they sell at K-Mart with her name on it?

I'm just glad they don't have a "Shrub-ware" section.

[LisaM]

2. I have some of her stuff. It's reasonably priced and lasts a long time.

Have you had problems with any of it? In fact, I have some shower curtains that have lasted about ten years (they're washable) and her sheets lasted better than most others I've owned, including some wildly overpriced Egyptian cotton ones I bought a couple of years ago.

[Raine]

5. Same here

I'm still using the sheets that I bought about 12 years ago.

[theHandpuppet]

18. Ditto that

I now swear by her products. After years of buying more expensive goods under the false notion that they would be of higher quality, I discovered that the cheaper goods from the Martha Stewart line last years longer. The bedding is especially good.

[Raine]

4. I've never had a problem with her line

of bedding etc. :shrug:

[Raine]

3. She's also a Democrat

so of course she went to prison especially under chimp's reign of terror. :yoiks:

[young_at_heart]

6. Something's rotten here!

The number of lies that Bush/Cheney have told versus Martha's little lie.

[Thothmes]

7. None of them were under oath to a Federal prosecuting attorney

[young_at_heart]

8. I wonder if that will ever happen?

They can lie all they want and there evidently are no consequences----hard not to be disillusioned.

[Thothmes]

17. One can only hope.

[Clyde39]

9. Mother Jones has a story today about a Cheney cover-up---Martha is "small potatoes"

Who in the George W. Bush White House tried to shred a memo challenging the use of torture?

[Gregorian]

10. Yeah. Once again, Tommy Chong did 9 months. For what!

Operation Pipe Dream. Total bullshit.

Kill a million people by attacking acountry? Priceless.

[slay]

14. Yeah that was fucked up - AND then the feds stole all his documentary DVD's about it!

Check this out: "WE TOLD YOU THEY DIDN'T WANT YOU TO SEE THIS DOCUMENTARY!!!

The FBI has raided Spectrum Labs, the company that partially owns and is distributing the film a/k/a Tommy Chong. The raids occured Wednesday night at their office in Newport, Ohio."

**I saw the documentary btw - was on Showtime a couple months ago - fuckin awesome. You'll be sicked by how he was tricked and treated if you haven't seen it yet.**

[Gregorian]

22. Thanks! I was wondering about that. I hadn't heard the slime raided him.

Man, is that telling. Now I HAVE to see the documentary.

Now that I read the blog, it may not have been solely due to the dvd content. But...

[Amerigo Vespucci]

15. "Chuck Berry went to PRISON for Rock & roll, man!"

Fans of THIS movie caught the reference:



:toast:

[Gregorian]

23. Haha.

I may or may not have seen that film. :)

[Triana]

11. Martha Stewart was a scapegoat. n/t

[opihimoimoi]

12. The GOP knows how to Distract and Divide....Devious Bunch

[Festivito]

13. Her appeal STILL not heard? Only half a billion involved...

Especially after the FBI guy who showed she must be lying was himself lying in courtrooms about how accurate his results were and is now fired.

Martha became so tired of the wait that she went to jail just to be done with it.

Yet, still no appeal heard.

Just as Don Siegleman how honest those Fed prosecutors are.

[PBS Poll-435]

16. No

The legacy of James Comey.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

19. IIRC, this was not in the middle of an active election season, but right at the beginning

of one, and Martha was very active in doing fundraising for Democrats. It was obvious to anyone paying attention this case had political overtones.

[leftofthedial]

20. yes.

lying about investments or about blow jobs is FAR more serious than crimes against humanity.

If the Obama administration fails to investigate the worst crimes on earth fully, how can we trust anything they say or do?

Coupled with the ongoing wholesale transfer of public wealth to already-rich private banking elites, I'm seriously questioning who Obama is and what his real mission is.

[Orsino]

21. A world where Sophia Loren goes to jail, and Nixon walks. n/t

[Hubert Flottz]

24. That's different...

She was a democrat...

[earth mom]

25. You're singing to the choir here-I've been saying this for awhile now...

Martha did the time... while...

* & Co committed heinous crimes and treason but are as free as birds...

AND

Bankers/Wall Street have committed major crimes and yet they've walked away scot free...

...with OUR gawd damn money! :wtf: :grr:

[young_at_heart]

27. I know, but I saw her on TV and the hypocrisy got to me again

I guess I feel that we need to remember these things that can be so easily forgotten in our fast-paced world.

[Blue Meany]

26. She was a major Democratic contributer, that was her crime n/t

[mod mom]

28. Of course. She's a Democrat like Don Siegelman. Guilty.
