Is any writer more clear headed than Mark Steyn.

I hope he is right. The case against Martha is mostly because she is so disliked. And, she is disliked because she is successful and proud of it.

Those who covet her success want her destroyed.

When all those Martha Stewart jokes were circulating around the Internet the handwriting was on the wall. Some up and coming political prosecutor out for future political office would take advantage of the obvious dislike so many have for this woman if he had the least opening in which to do it.

I agree with Mary Steyn that Martha is a survivor. She is also a class act. Groveling doesn't suit her.

I am going to root for her to come back stronger than ever.

"I am going to root for her to come back stronger than ever."

Does that mean lie and cheat more next time, or just do a better job of lying about the lying and cheating?

[El Gran Salseron]

"she is successful and proud of it."

Successfully ruthless?

That's what you mean, isn't it?

"The case against Martha is mostly because she is so disliked. And, she is disliked because she is successful and proud of it.

I know a couple of people who have had dealings with her. They tell me she is disliked because she is a dislikable person.
