What do you think? Do you care much? (edited to add: Ok, so I should spell check my subject line a little better. *blushing*)
Here's something I've been noticing and it's interesting to me.
J absoloutely has harped and harped about how he hoped they'd throw the book at her. He's big on the fact that "what she did ends up hurting the little guy"
I don't think they proved she did anything bad enough to go to jail over, but I always feel like jail should be reserved for people who might actuall physically harm someone. I think we overuse it, and the judicial system could stand to be a bit more creative in their discipline.
Anyway, J is going to be thrilled with her jail time, and think it's not enough. And I'll keep my mouth shut. And I've heard this from other men too. And I overheard a co-worker here at work (when he got online I am guessing) say "Yes! She's got FIVE months!"
I haven't heard many women harping on this issue, and they've been supportive when it's been mentioned.
So... WHY do men HATE MARTHA!!!??? What's so freaking intimidating about her?
I have heard that she's a really rude "witch", but why's that reason to hope she goes to jail?

Yep, and she'll be writing a book (I heard the other day that is her plan) that'll make yet another bundle. I like the idea of working with Habitat for Humanity or similar. Giving BACK to the people that got cheated from her illeagal business dealings would, IMO, be the way to go. Not just for Martha, but for MANY MANY more "white collar criminals" like her...
Oh, and I love her stuff too. The KMart stuff, the magazine (some of my VERY favorite recipes are her's) and her website where I can find a recipe that will be wonderful for anything). She's a snot, no doubt about it. But that doesn't make someone more suited for jail time. It'll be interesting to see what happens. I am fairly certain that she WILL serve some jail time.
Beck, about your original question as to why men seem to hate her.....If men hate her, perhaps it's because she's self-made, extremely successful, and got there on her own smarts and hard work without riding on the coat tail of any man to get there.
