Free Martha!

So, a jury convicted Martha Stewart today of lying to the government, conspiracy to lie to the government, and obstructing the government's investigation into whether she lied to them.

Last week the judge in the trial dropped the more serious charge that, by her insisting on her innocence, she was committing secrurities fraud. All of these charges should all have been dropped long ago, and shame on the judge for letting this waste of taxpayers money continue, and shame on the jury for not nullifying the whole thing.

What a crock of s***!

But this brings up an idea. If the suburban Mom vote was so important to Clinton's re-election, and if Bush might like this group to lean more his way, he has a great opportunity here:

FREE MARTHA!

After all, these are federal charges, Bush has the absolute power of federal pardon, and if questioned, the President can always say that Martha shouldn't be treated any worse than Marc Rich.

I really love martha. She taught me to garden and to bake. Because of her, I collect antique children's books and California souvenirs (Tablecloths, drinking glasses, etc. - highly cute for a party)

I'm starting a blog www.isupportmartha.blogspot.com
