Martha is afraid she'll finally have to come clean, under oath, on her failed attempt at saving the SPICE girls. Here she is as "Old Spice".

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.

Hmmm. They couldn't be THAT cynical! Hmmmm. To make an omelet...

Only if the media cooperates. And don't expect THAT -- especially in an election year. In fact, the media have been busy bees trying to keep Enron, Global Crossing, Martha, etc. from the headlines to minimize the collateral damage to Dimocrat prospects in November. Count on it like you count on the sun rising tomorrow.
If she did what she appears to have done, it is absolutely inexcusable!
Good point.
Good point.
Just think about how much she will make decorating prison cells. Gotta be an untapped market.
I think you are right. And great catty comment that follows!
Supposing she did...what would you imagine it would be like?
If normal formatting lacks enough punch to describe Martha's...er...tastes...this may help:
