Why is Martha scum? Give me two examples.

[Tamzee]

Two reasons why Martha is scum.... okay. Insider trading destroys the foundation of the stock market for individual investors. If too much insider trading goes on, individual investors will always lose and lose big - that's why there are such significant regulations against it. As a past stockbroker, Martha KNOWS the rules and KNOWS why better than most folks. As a board member of the NYSE, she is in a significant position of trust as one of those few folks who are supposed to protect the integrity and future of the stock market and make sure the rules work.

What she did was like a doctor using his prescription pad to write out narcotic prescriptions and sell them to kids. As a part-time health teacher.... after class.....

One will suffice.

Insider trading is ILLEGAL.

She’s probably on her way to being convicted of that ILLEGAL activity.

But don’t tell me…it was a victimless crime…..right? Or so your cavalier attitude about it would suggest.

Those who lost their life’s savings at ENRON, those who lost money invested in her company, and those who follow, adhere to, and respect the laws of our nation would tend to disagree.

Here's one: She gives large sums of money ONLY to Democrats. My mother once had one of her magazines and pointed out that, on her monthly calendar, she had plans to speak to Planned Parenthood.

Two, she's a Bubba-lover. Her own husband left her for her own secretary. Bubba took up with Monica Lewinsky. Yet, she is a big Bubba fan.

BTW, don't hold your breath for Martha to ever do a special show from the Bush White House.
