She was convicted of a crime and was punished. GW has already pardoned others convicted of similar crimes and will likely grant more before leaving office. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_pardoned_by_George_W._Bush Think of Jeff's post as a great conversation starter for some tough dialogue that will need to occur. Your vitriolic response demonstrates how challenging these conversations are really going to be. Accepting that our system is deeply broken is a good thing.

Bill Clinton Lied to a Federal Judge, Why didn't he go to jail? Has anyone gone to jail for the Freddie / Fanny debacle?? Hell no. There is no true justice in America any more. Money , Power & Corruption have taken over. Yeah Martha was a Real BIG fish wasn’t she.

It didn't hurt the prosecutor, who brought Ms. Stewart trial and got a conviction, when he enters back into private practice. President Bush shouold give a pardon to her. He has done it for drug smugglers, tax-evaders, etc. Give Martha a break and let her vote once again and have the legal right to pack heat! Danny L.

Why are they alternatives? Rich white women who make pots don't go to jail? Is that the logic? She lied to prosecutors. Get over it. Don’t get your logic, assuming there is logic.
