By the time you read this article, it will be too late. Too late because this piece surely will be engulfed in the flood of words about Martha Stewart’s legal woes with alleged insider trading. Like all celebrity crucibles, Martha Stewart’s scandal (StewScan) conforms to a predictable cycle of 1. shock — “Not Martha!”; 2. savor — “There is a God”; 3. sympathy — “Hasn’t she suffered enough?”; and finally 4. saturation — “Not another article on the Frosted Blond Goddess.”
My article, I fear, will surface too late, well past the saturation point. On the other hand, it may bloom too early. After all, M hasn’t been charged with anything and never may face charges. We still have in this country a presumption of innocence – unless the attorney general extends the rules for “enemy combatants” to “etiquette queens.”
