<p>Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and other Democratic leaders are cruising toward November by exploiting public antipathy toward so-called corporate miscreants, such as the guys at Enron, WorldCom and now home-decorating diva Martha Stewart.</p>
<p>I'm no defender of corporate wrongdoing, although I still can't quite figure out what Stewart did that warrants time in jail. Lying to investigators about a non-crime apparently is all it takes to get one locked up these days. Investigators frequently lie to those they are interrogating, and they are not punished for that.</p>
