Let he who would not sell stock on a tip, cast the first stone. Did
Martha Stewart lie? Of course she did. Did she have any choice.
Absolutely not. Would anybody who has been caught smoking pot, claim
that he or she is guilty of trafficking. Of course not. Clearly, no
self respecting Prosecutor would expect Martha Stewart to tell the
truth, under the circumstances, and any suggestion that Martha Stewart
deserves to go to jail for lying is absolutely preposterous.

Make no mistake about it, Martha Stewart was not prosecuted, she was
entrapped.

The jury that convicted Martha Stewart harbors the delusion that they
have sent a message to the little investor, but the exact opposite is
in fact true. The jury sent the clear message that if you have
Republican connections and you lie to the American people [somebody
like John Poindexter] the Federal Government will hire you. If you are
Democrat like Martha Stewart, you will be entrapped.

The business of America is business, and Marthe Stewart is the very
best. This witchhunt has sent the clear message that if you are an
intelligent business person, and you do the right thing [tell a little
white lie to protect your stockholders] the Federal Government will
destroy you. I think the idiots who targeted Martha Stewart and turned
the world of the little investors who relied on the value of her company
stock, upside down, are as guilty as Enron's, Ken Lay is. If Martha
Stewart spends a single day in jail, the do-nothing regime of an idiotic
administration that is screwing the small investor, should collapse even
faster than Howard Dean did.
