It astonishes me why some find
Martha Stewart the embodiment of evil. Perhaps it's jealousy; few women have been more successful and ubiquitous. It can't be the insider trading: by Wall Street's standards she's a piker. It can't be the Bossy Broad routine; Carly Fiorina's bossier -- much bossier. I think she's a stand-in for all people hate about big media -- that someone, largely from luck, can be everywhere, oppressively everywhere, lending her name to so many things she has nothing to do with except in royalties and profits. She's like Kathy Lee without Regis or the singing.
