Mandela was caught with plans to government buildings in his possession. His intention was to blow up those buildings.
Please use the correct title.
For that stupid remark alone, she needs to have about 5 more years tacked on to her sentence. Neither she nor Mandela are heros.
I cannot help but think that she found time to attend a screening of F-9/11. If I was facing jail-time, attending movies would be the last thing on my mind.
But because the victim is "unlikable" and votes Dimocrat, it is perfectly OK with you folks.
Well Mandela was incarcerated which she is to be. I think is her point?
Now whether or not a suburban American is as tough and able to handle prison as a South African subversive is another matter. I tend to doubt it, but she is right to note that others have been incarerated without completely falling apart.
I can't wait to see the "How to spruce up your cell" TV show.
She got off VERY lightly, but the arrogance is still there.
What a clintonista, STUWARD DID CHEAT SOMEBODY! She dumped stock based on inside information that if PUBLICLY known would make the value less. SOMEBODY bought those shares without her "special knowledge".
Its everyone's fault but hers.
BS.
I hope the appeals court determines 5 monts is too light.
Nelson Mandela is just another murdering terrorist huckster the liberals love to knee pad for.
Is she referring to dwarves or leprechauns?
Too funny. She doesn't have a clue.
I spent three days in dormitory jail (DUI) sleeping on a 3" mattress I swear was filled with Lima beans and it seemed like weeks. A goose-down sleeping bag in the woods on the ground would've seemed like vacation. Fortunately, my sentence was only three days which I was able to endure fasting because the food wasn't fit for a billy-goat.
Any other like-minded "criminals" with similar stories?
She should immediately stop whining about the injustice of having to spend half her term on her mansion grounds that most people would pay money to visit on vacation for five months.
That is so lame. Number one, her stock was worth several hundred thousand dollars. She had no way of knowing that the ultimate loss would have been only $45,000.
I owned some pharmaceutical shares not too long ago. I thought it was such a good opportunity that I had some $20,000 invested in them. 80% of my portfolio. What a stupid mistake.
The FDA denied their new drug, and the stock value dropped immediately from $10 per share down to a little over $1. That's a 90% loss. If Martha owned $350,000 worth of Imclone, with that kind of situation, she would have lost $315,000, being left with only $35,000.
The trouble is, she had no way of knowing whether the stock would have crashed big time like that, or just drop 15 to 20% or so.
She was a licensed stock broker on the Board of the NY Stock Exchange.
She knew what she was doing when she did it and was in the ultimate position of power and she did it anyway.
She was a pro who did that, she had to be held responsible.
Martha has been eyeing her stir fry too closely and needs to replace her brain with an uncooked one if she is sincere with her words about N.M.
