Embattled media mogul Martha Stewart is said to see a political conspiracy behind the deepening investigation into her questionable stock trades, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
"Martha really believes it is the Republicans who are behind this -- and they are chasing her for purely political reasons," a Stewart intimate said this weekend.
"Martha told me that she believes they are doing the very same thing to her, they did to President Clinton. What Ken Starr did. She believes it is nothing short of a witch hunt! They are even digging into her private e-mails! They are demanding to know who she's dated. Martha said to me, 'Can you believe they want to know who I'm dating?' Republicans on Capitol Hill are probing her sex life!"

The close Stewart friend, who demanded not to be named out of fear of being dragged into the investigation, spoke just hours after Justice Department officials sacked her stockbroker's offices - removing boxes of evidence related to the ImClone stock scandal.
"Who runs the Justice Department? Republicans. Who runs the House of Representatives, and these committees looking into Martha? The Republicans," said the Stewart friend. "Guess who is a major force in raising money and contributing to Democrats?"
[Last year Billionaire Stewart contributed $125,000 in soft money to Democratic accounts, records show.]
The close Stewart friend predicted Americans will rally behind Stewart the same way many did with President Clinton during his impeachment.
"Once all the facts come out about this abuse of power, about these subpoenas, which ask for every detail on Martha's very private life, people will come to her side."
A spokesman for the House Energy and Commerce Committee strongly denied congressional investigators are being motivated out of any political concern and noted questions about a subject's personal contacts with other individuals are standard.
Developing...
Gaaaaaaghhh! Arrrgh! Wretch. Slobber.
As Fonzie would say, "I knew that!" LOL
I really was looking forward to hearing how she started her business or how to redecorate or recipes...something like that.
She spent the entire time making nasty comments about her ex-husband. I was not pleased and not only that, the specially-selected menu by Ms. Stewart looked like Klingon food.
Sounds like someone else is probing something and its not republican but its intimate
Funny i looked up stewart intimate on google and this popped up
Actually, I used to admire her for making a living from puttering around the house. But when I found out that she was going to hold a big fundraiser for Clinton and feature it in her magazine, I cancelled my subscription.
The fundraiser got cancelled because it was scheduled for right around the time that Clinton's testimony was being made public. She was even going to give him a handmade pillow stuffed with herbs and coconut husks to ensure restful sleep. UGH!!
In this context, how would you define a "hobag".
I have always thought it to be a better definition of Hillary Clinton.

Perfectly understandable.

Wierd. She was probably seriously affected by the breakup of her marriage. As one who has walked the same path, I can attest that it is both easy to become mentally twisted about it and important to get one's thinking adjusted in a healthy manner. I for one could forgive her this transgression. But the food! Could she possibly have known that you were a conservative? 143 posted on 8/18/02 7:34 PM Pacific by Miss Marple
Read " JUST DESSERTS " and " MARTHA , INC. " ; both treasure troves of an inside look at old Martha ! Living in Conn., I have gotten a chance to hear the gossip ... besides having read both books. LOL
What the heck is THAT!!!
You cannot imagine how horrible it is to sit and listen to embarassing comments while your lunch consists of a salad made of strange vegetables topped with a shitake mushroom and a very weird dressing, accompanied by a very bitter cranberry muffin. AND NO SECONDS ON COFFEE.
Me, I wanted a cheeseburger, which I got at a drive-through on my way home.
Martha has stolen recipes and almost ALL of the ones, that have appeared in her books and magazines are a disaster. Her Yorkshire Pudding recipe, for one, is a howling screamfest. I read it, and damned near died laughing . It would not only NOT rise, it would turn into a mass of undigestable muck. OTOH, I make the MOST perfet Yorkshire Pud ( she said immodestly. LOL ) and would be more than happy to share it with you. :-)
Martha obviously got her talking points from Hillary. :-}
