Commentary on Martha

Daily Kos has a nice column by Steve Gilliard on the Martha Stewart indictment. It is pretty much on target. Some of the comments are amusing, as some folks want to turn this into a partisan issue ("she is being targetted because she is a Democrat!!"--puh-leeze).

As Giliard points out, the cover-up is often more problematic than the crime. The whole affair is remarkable, given that Stewart appears to have lied about something she didn't need to lie about, and she did it twice. At this point it looks like a heavy case of hubris, but we shall see how it plays out.
