CNN is now reporting that Martha Stewart has just been indicted for securities fraud. While she may indeed by guilty (I happen to think she is), I can’t help but feel like she’ll have the book thrown at her while the big boys – the Enron and MCI folks who bilked far more investors than Martha ever did – will get off scot-free.
I’m still waiting for the current administration to restore the public faith in the economy by cleaning up ALL Wall Street excesses, not just the small-fish-but-easy-targets like Stewart. Too bad our fearless leader is too busy chasing shadows in the Middle East to notice that the economy is in the toilet. Hey Mr. Bush: the unemployed have plenty of time to go vote. Don’t forget that.
