Martha Stewart speaks to reporters at her home in Katonah, N.Y. in this Friday, March 4, 2005 file photo. Stewart says in a new interview with Vanity Fair Magazine that her nickname in prison was M. Diddy, that house arrest is 'hideous' and that her prosecution was about bringing her down 'to scare other people.' In the interview, Stewart tells the magazine she agrees with those who say her crime _ lying about a personal stock sale _ is far different from massive corporate scandals like Enron, WorldCom and Tyco.

Asked about the electronic monitoring device she must wear on her ankle - she has complained repeatedly that it irritates her skin - Stewart says she knows how to remove it.

"I watched them put it on. You can figure out how to get it off," she is quoted as saying. "It's on the Internet. I looked it up."

Her publicist's eyes "widened with alarm" when Stewart made the remark.

Uh oh..she isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer is she.

LOL!

I literally thought that she was going to mention the VRWC.

[Dog]

Nah.... she was to busy telling the feds she removes her ankle bracelet.....she looked it up on the internet doncha know.

ROFL!

"Of course that is what it's all about," Vanity Fair quotes Stewart as saying. "Bring 'em down a notch, to scare other people. If Martha can be sent to jail, think hard before you sell that stock."

How about think hard before you lie on the witness stand?

Martha is convicted and sent to prison; OJ and Jacko were set free.

If I was Martha Stewart, I'd be bitter too.

"For instance, if someone is from Idaho, I could say, 'You're back in Boise for apple-picking time.'"

Uh-huh. Mostly they don't pick apples in Boise, Martha. They pick potatoes. Gives ya strong fingers...

[Paul Atreides]

Give her time. She'll probably spout off about looking up the Downing Street memo, on the 'net.

Martha Stewart says in a new interview that her nickname in prison was M. Diddy, that house arrest is "hideous" and that her prosecution was about bringing her down "to scare other people."

Wrong. The feds went after her to take the heat off the incumbents for the bad economy during the 2002 midterm elections.

Martha was guilty and went to jail. But her house arrest is hideous.

Wacko Jacko perv was sleeping with kids and showing them porn and he walks. OJ walked. Robert Blake walked. Doesn't seem fair.

Martha should have made the call to her broker from California! ;^)

Same sentiment shared here.

"Of course that is what it's all about," Vanity Fair quotes Stewart as saying. "Bring 'em down a notch, to scare other people. If Martha can be sent to jail, think hard before you sell that stock."

I'm sure every Johnny Lunchpail and Sally Housecoat has been intimidated in their insider stock-trading by what happened to Martha.

[sharktrager]

She is so wrong.

Her prosecution was just to get her off my damn TV, and it worked!

I could say, 'You're back in Boise for apple-picking time.'"

And that's a good thing...

"that house arrest is "hideous" and that her prosecution was about bringing her down "to scare other people."

It's called 'punishment', and yes, one purpose is to deter others. Her comments sound more like Jessica Simpson than someone with an education.

Do you or any other freepers have any idea if Martha has changed her political leanings, considering that it was her Northeast liberal "friends" that took her down?
