"One reason why Martha Stewart didn't want to plead to a lesser charge was that it meant she would be guilty of a felony."

ANYTHING is better than doing time. As it is, she is facing a civil charge that will do just that anyway.

"I feel no special satisfaction at her fall from grace."

I'd feel just like you, if she wasn't such a liberal Democratic Clinton groupie. Look at it this way, its just a little less money that will be available to help get Kerry
elected President.

"Nor do I feel any satisfaction in Rush's fall from grace."

If you listened to FOX NEWS this week, it appears that Rush is being targetted and set up by the leftists. The guy was using drugs because he was in phsyical pain from back surgery. He wasn't snorting coke to get high. But Dems in that County have gotten away with far more.

Nobody "set up Stewart". She asn't the target of the initial investigation. SHE chose not to cooperate wiht the FBI because she was trying to protect her buddy Waxman, or through sheer arrogance. Had she initially come clean, she wouldn't even have faced a felony charge. That came later, AFTER her failure to cooperate and efforts to block a Federal Investigation of Waxman.

If I'm not clear on any of this, please enlighten me. There is a lot of information on this subject floating around everywhere on this subject.

Today, I heard her plan to exact clemency from the Judge on this is to threaten the loss of livelihood of the innocent people who work for her if she winds up in the clink. Hardly an attitude of contritition.

Martha cannot act contrite and sorry........she is appealing her verdict and insisting she did nothing wrong.

IOW......Hung by her own petard!

She is a young woman with a lot of talent and there is no doubt in my mind that she will rebuild her company after all the lawsuits are resolved, but she will be a lot poorer. This attempt to save thousands of dollars cost her millions upon millions.
