The Donald: "Martha, you're fired... er, I mean incarcerated- too bad you got caught. You should have just filed for bankruptcy- that works for me every time!"

Ah come on, Brooke.

I hate Trump (anyone who calls himself The Donald is obviously an a-hole) just as much. There are far too many stories of Ms. Stewart berating her poor employees (especially the personal ones).

I have nothing against her success. Winfrey is far more successful and yet no one seems to resent her - Winston actually loves her, doesn't he. I think Ms. Stewart's reputation is probably well earned. I would guess her dollars are well earned, as well.
Martha is hated as well because she's prim and proper--she doesn't seem to have a sense of humor--and she can do everything you can do better.

That's just silly. All sorts of people hate Trump.

I have noticed that women tend to have "issues" with Stewart. She arouses much fiercer passions with women than men, generally. Maybe because she made her fortune as a domestic goddess.

I thought Martha was acquited of the stock thing but they put her in jail for lying. Lying!

Who do you think her roomates should be?

Sharing a bunk with Leona Helmsley sounds nice.

Hold the phone, pal! I can't stand Oprah Winfrey. She's a windbag with trite, cheeseball homespun "wisdom" for housewives.

As for Martha, I like her and think she got the shaft on this one because of her personality, not necessarily her gender.

Damn, I'm sorry. It was Hugh2030 who used a quote from Oprah in his sig. All you oldtimers (on this blog) are my heroes so the confusion is to be expected.

Apology accepted. Vote for George Bush and we'll call it even. ;-)
