"Fuck Martha Stewart!"
Jul. 17th, 2004 11:48 amBecause someone had to say it.
I admit that I haven't paid more than minimal attention to what she did and didn't do, I'm just concerned with the fact that so many people on LJ, blogger, BBs, opinion pieces seem to be so keen on this "she's only getting done because she's a woman and it's the system pushing down an uppity bitch, look at Ken Lay for fuck's sake!"
Which rather denies her ability to distinguish between right and wrong.
I think it's not that the system IS down on her because she's a woman but because she doesn't know the right people. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't get the impression that she's a particularly close confident and friend of the Bush party, unlike everyone in Enron. If she were then I think they'd have made a bit more effort, like getting Arnie into California to help sign off and minimise how much debts Enron have to pay, to help her out. With this administration it's not the size of your tits but how much money you give them. Martha didn't pay off the right people.
OK, everything above is a wild guess, so feel free to demolish my cunning arguments... :)
