The Christmas season brought Martha Stewart one fond memory of her stay in a West Virginia prison.

On the Christmas Day episode of her television show, Stewart showed off ornate clay forms of the baby Jesus, Joseph, Mary, three camels and others she sculpted at a pottery class at the Federal Prison Camp in Alderson, W.Va.

"Even though every inmate was only allowed to do one a month, and I was only there for five months, I begged because I said I was an expert potter _ ceramicist actually _ and could I please make the entire nativity scene," she said.

I saw this headline and thought, "Only in America."

Martha Stewart, the infomercial!

Every five seconds on her show she's trying to sell you something. Does the woman have no shame?

What's that sound? Oh, yeah, a choir of crickets chirping...

Someone has alluded to this already, but . . .

Erm, people? She didn't "sculpt" anything. At best, she used pre-fab forms to slip-cast the figurines she is showcasing. And the drab-ware glaze? About as easy as it gets.

Jail or no, I am sick of this woman taking credit for something she did not really accomplish.

Bah. Humbug.

Three square meals, pottery classes and you don't have to go to work every day.

Can I be in that prison please?

Man, call me a whore, but I would still like to really get it on with Martha. Is that fucking weird? Jack Out.

Martha goes to prison for lying about a stock sale, but Libby gets off for his lying and obstruction of justice so he won't squeal about the real criminals in the Bush White House. After the (first) OJ trial I stopped believing in equal justice for all in this country.

Women like MS are role models for

these kinds of ideas
throughout the
system and
abraod as
well
from
icealand
to australia
to chile.

the best candidate
HILLARY

She worked to support Liberal causes in New York. That is why the Republican justice department pushed the courts to put her in prison. What she did would never be prosecuted otherwise.

She was never accused of insider trading. she heard about it from her stockbroker. She, herself, was not an insider.

So she breaks the rules stashing condiments in her cell, and then again in crafts class. Now she flaunts it on national tv. Guess all she learned in prison is that entitlement beats obedience. If only she'd made those figures out of mustard and Bible pages. At least that'd be something!

What a talented convict.

I'm so glad Martha Stewart is no longer in prison because she is, indeed, a blessing and benefit to the American society.
I thank you Martha Stewart.

I'll give Martha credit for her imagination and marketing savvy. For making prison and jail time not only "seem" glamorous, but a normal career move one can add to their resume.

Good luck!
