March 8, 2004 -- Martha Stewart's ex-husband, Andy Stewart, feared the princess of perfection's long-held habit of telling whoppers would one day trigger her downfall, a former business partner told The Post yesterday. Norma Collier, who was Martha Stewart's first business partner when they started a catering business in Connecticut in 1974, said yesterday that Stewart's self-made disaster was "very sad" - and almost inevitable.

Well, it's a common enough word, but I would be very surprised if you've ever heard it from me prior to this thread.

You don't know a thing about New Yorkers

Sure I do. They elected Hitlery. They elected upChuckie. They elected Nadler. They elected McCarthy. They elected Rangel. They elected Owens. They elected Lowey. They elected Maloney. The list goes on and on. You trying to tell me that these jackass democrats were elected by accident? You trying to say that woops the majority is really conservative, they just pushed the wrong button on election day? Horse pucky. The aforementioned freedom haters represent the viewpoints of the majority of their electorates. The fundamental philosophy of the Democratic Party is envy - the envy of those who don't work for the the rewards of those who work. Whether you like it or not the majority of New York voters are freedom hating liberal democrats who have fully bought into the class envy that is the basis of the Democratic party.

It looks like a duck, quacks like a duck $hits like a duck, but in the case of New York , you're trying to tell me it is really a horse. Sell your bull$hit to someone else I ain't buying.

I think the only adequate punishment would be to
take away her infernal melon-baller doohickey.
She uses that to make those baskets of melon balls
and strawberries where you cut the watermelon in
the shape of a basket. I still love Martha in spite
of it all, and the Democrat donation (using MY
magazine subscription money) is a hard pill to
swallow, believe me.

Yeah, but on the other hand, there's me. :)

"I'm glad you'll feel safer walking down the street minus the threat of your being mugged by Martha Stewart and her posse."

I do.

She should serve her time like everyone else.

Of course, I've never had to ,"serve time", but neither have the people of the jury.

I am not so sure she will serve very much time. Usually, those type of people buy out the judge. Especially, if the judge is a Demon.

Here is a little bit of information about what the jurors thought
The post-trial comments of one juror, Chappell Hartridge (Juror Number Eight), say it all: "Maybe this is a victory for the little guys who lose money thanks to these kinds of transactions. Maybe it's a message to the big wigs."
. Looks like class envy to me, but of course I don't know anything about New Yorkers being liberal class envying democrats, oh no. It's not obvious to the rest of the country. Say isn't New York the city where you go to jail for defending yourself?

Don't worry. Divorces are divorces; no one ever knows how he or she will act until it happens to them, and it's never happened to me. I don't know as much about her, her life, etc., as some of you on here, and I am glad to tell you that freely.

But... I'll freepmail you! Now that I HAVE watched part of a bio on Stewart, I admit I'm a little bit curious; before, I had no interest in her bio at all.

LOL, sounds like their verbal interaction in their marriage was akin to some of the running debates on these forums. If a marriage is like that, I can't imagine how it could last! You know how on the internet, there's always someone who insists on getting the last word!

Yup. When that motormouth was mugging for the camera, I visualized her lawyers watching the tube, going "Yeah! Go, man, go! Keep talking!" -- and, the prosectors gritting their teeth and fumbling around for the Tums.

Can you say "grounds for appeal"?

I knew you could. :)

Say isn't New York the city where you go to jail for defending yourself?

Only if you're successful at it. Otherwise they wring their hands and go boohoo what a tragedy we must have more gun control.

Towards the end of the Dinkums regime (yes, I spelled it like that on purpose), there was a particularly brutal knifing. The next day, there was Dinky, ranting and raving about how that proved the need for more gun control. (I'd been long gone from "da sitty", but his "yes, you can fail an IQ test" moment made the national news.)

So much for the "two-synapse" theory of electability. (for the voters or the candidate)

I bailed out of the Bad Apple in the early '70s. I figured I was born there, I grew up there, and I was outta there. It's got some plusses, sure. Nice museums, some sights to see, some good food (I still miss softshell clams and fresh flounder, and real pizza, you just can't get it anywhere else), but when it comes down to it, it's a nice place to leave, but I wouldn't want to visit there.

Here, I have fresh air, elbow room, a hundred year old barn, and a .45 on my hip without it making me a criminal. And a house with five acres -- with the barn, and a pond -- that cost less than a year's rent for an upscale noo yawk apartment.

LOL I lived in the Bronx for a couple of years when Lindsey was mayor. I gotta say it is one place that I would never move back to. (But for any New Yorkers reading this) DON'T LEAVE! IT'S WONDERFUL THERE. You wouldn't like it outside "the city" Too much freedom, and too low a cost of living. You wouldn't know what to do with all of your left over money. If you love NY - stay there.

Mayor Linsley! (What was the name of that union goon who always called him that to irritate him?) Ah, "Fun City".

I shook the creep's hand on Allerton Avenue when he was campaigning in the neighborhood. Don't ask me why. I was young and stupid, I guess.

I'm not going to name names

Oh, go ahead! You seem so sure of yourself, just do it!

Just be sure to ping the people you name.

Can you say "grounds for appeal"?

So sorry, you're wrong once again; that's NOT grounds for appeal in this case. It can only be a mistake the judge made.

And if you two are envious of a lying, low class woman, go ahead, make her your role model.

Let's see Martha is going to jail for lying, while former President Bill Clinton did not, something is a little out of balance.

Juror's statement may be grounds for appeal on basis of instuctions to jury from bench.

Goodness...if they put people in jail for telling whoppers or breaking the laws.......where will we put all the Democrats?

You think only they tell whoppers???

How about this one: "when the guest worker permit expires in three years, we expect the guest workers to return to their home countries ...."

And I thought saying "I did not have sex with that woman" with a straight face was one of the whackiest moments in political self-destruction. Clinton has been outdone.

Misconduct of jury is also grounds for new trial.

I'm not saying that this is the case here, but one cannot dismiss outright the dimbulb jurors' post trial comments.
