Infinite MonkeysMark Larson, filling in for Colonel Slanders today, wonders about Martha Stewart's politics and surmises that her liberalism will earn her a pass from the corporation-hating, Kerry-backing Democratic establishment. I doubt it. Her political liberalism cannot be disputed. So far, however, I find no accusations that her conviction stems from a Republican-led political persecution, nor any real evidence of a grassroots movement to free Martha, nor any news of housewives rioting in Ann Arbor, Great Neck, or Denver.
In short, for good or ill, she's going away for awhile.
Update: Seems I was wrong. (Surprise, surprise. -Ed.) Bear-Flagger Interocitor is leading the charge to get Martha pardoned. Something about the prosecution being a waste of taxpayer money from the get-go.
