Martha Stewart was found guilty, right? She served time for breaking the law. But no matter how obvious her quilt might have been or how fitting the punishment, she’s treated like a martyr- even a hero.
She came home from prison to one of the most over-valued stocks on the market. Every day on the news you see everyone from Rosie O’Donnell to local housewives proclaiming her to be a martyr.
Which brings me to the real significance of the whole ordeal:
Who would have thought that of all people, Martha Stewart would be the one who finally bridged the gap between middle-aged white women and the black community?
She’s the soccer-mom’s O.J.
It doesn’t matter if she did it. It doesn’t matter if she’s guilty. They relate to her & stand by her. I’m surprised we never saw parades of stay-at-home moms headed up by Regis and Kathy Lee, calling for riots in New Hampshire unless she got off.
Martha Stewart- making connections and breaking down the barriers which divide America.
