I read an interview with a juror in the 'Star-Ledger' yesterday. Apparently, the Defense put up a lousy and unconvincing defense. Also, the presence of Bill Cosby and Rosie O'Donnell (who ran her big mouth afterwards) made some of the jurors think that they were being manipulated in some way. Imagine that...an intelligent jury.
I had an argument with my mother yesterday, too. She's one of those people from an earlier generation of women who are still enamored over a woman barreling her way forth in the Male Corporate World, forging an empire, and that if she was a man, that men like me would love her. I told her that this thesis was a load of crap, that I judge people for the kind of people they are. I told her that Martha, along with her other hero, Hillary, are both cold hearted, control freaking harridans, and that if Martha had any charm at all, she'd have gotten off. Instead, they saw her for what she was.
Here, we have two presidential candidates fighting to convince ANYBODY that they're both men of the people, regular guys, and we have Martha, the high-cheekboned, blonde, stiff upper lipped Hoi Polloi goddess who grew up in a big Polish family in a small house in Nutley where she wore passed down clothes.
Oh well. Now, they can consult her on how to redecorate the new license plates.
