It's rare you get a glimpse quite so clearly of how one public figure thinks about another one.
But, at a charity event in New York City last week, Martha Stewart was asked how she felt about former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
The question clearly came out of left field and the domestic diva did not respond in her typical gracious and tactful fashion.
We're guessing Sarah Palin could care less. Her new book "Going Rogue" is sitting atop the New York Times' Best Seller List quite comfortably. Palin reportedly sold 300,000 copies on the first day of release. That tops Hillary Clinton's "Living History" first-day sales of 200,000 but falls short of Bill Clinton's "My Life" first-day sales of 400,000.
Did you buy "Going Rogue: An American Life"? What do you think?

Exactly why should we care about the political opinions of a woman whose primary skill is in creating party hats and table settings?
What office has Stewart ever held? What public policy initiatives has she ever devised and implemented?
Martha Stewart is nothing more than a white-collar criminal with a ReddiWip intellect and the personality of Melba toast.
lol
It's rare that a celebrity says what she really thinks. Anyway, Martha Stewart is an Einstein compared to Palin. She was a successful stockbroker before her launching her own business ventures. Martha is a no-nonsense woman and Palin is the epitome of nonsense. I like how she said I wouldn't pay to see Palin. Right on!
I meant Martha said "I wouldn't see her if they paid me," which is quite different. Maybe if the price was right.
Who cares what this convicted felon thinks. Who is she to stand in judgement of anyone else????? Hey everyone, the convicted felon thinks Sarah Palin is dangerous! Haaaa haaa ha
Look who's talking - what of profound interest has Martha ever exclaimed? I just wish she's shut up and get her house in order - her company's stock has been in the tank - I mean the bottom of the tank for years now - I am just waiting for an opportunity to dump it. She's the one who is boring.
While Martha Stewart, convicted felon was in the klink making black & white striped quilts, Sarah Palin was running a state.
Mona, Martha is good enough to bait Sarah's hook, she's wouldn't have the know how to clean her gun, I'm sure she couldn't even cook a real dinner. Convicted criminal....Former Gov. Hmmmmmm I think I would like to have Sarah to dinner.
That is "isn't" good enought to bait her hook.
Martha amounts to trash. I hope that Sandals Resorts reconsiders hiring the convict to cover their wedding and honeymoons. I sure wouldn't book anything with the Martha Stewart name attached to it
Palin did have some ethics violations in Alaska and walked out on her job well before her term ended. Many professional women are not impressed by Palin though they wouldn't be as open in expressing it.
The media scrapes the bottom of the barrel again. Preaching to us that the opinion of a convicted felon - a person who might wish she could ever in a thousand years hope to aspire to shine Sarah Palin's shoes - is relevant.
It isn't.
The same vile media that insinuated SP's son fathered by another man, the same media the accused her baselessly of corruption, the same media that laughed at a joke about raping her 13-yerar-old daughter.
Media scum animals should be locked up, in prison, for repeated slander, defamation and conspiracy.
There's absolutely NOoooooooo! comparison between stewart to Sarah Palin. Stewart was a convicted greedy felon, while Sarah Palin is a beautiful, young, smart, dignified and respected human being.
No more magazine, tv show, kmart, macy's,for me, hopefully everyone will follow, ridiculous the comments made about Sarah Palin. What is the matter with you people??
Martha was a sucesful stock cheat and liar.....do we forget how many of her X employees have come out and tell us what a Bitch she really is?....now we all no
Martha is a B....., How dare her call the kettle Black. She hates Palin because she is not a convicted criminal as Martha is. I will never watch her show again ever. I can throw up thinking of Martha. She hates conservatives, she hates Palin because she a decent woman, not an arse like her. She should be back in jail, where she deserves. UGGGGGGGGGG....Martha you smell......
I will buy Palin's Book and buy 5 more for my daughters and granddaughter. Never watch or buy from any place that sells Martha junk.....
Martha, rapidly aging and getting crankier by the moment, segues her venom between Rachael Ray and Sarah Palin publicly, two Americans who live life to the fullest while Martha is washing her driveway gravel every year. Relax Martha...you got yours...let others get theirs.
Even with her conviction Martha is a better person than Palin. Palin is a lying weasel.
I watched Martha's show to learn crafting. When she so blatantly started her political views, I turned her off. Wonder what she thinks of her ideal candidate now?
Palin is the perfect prop up for the republican party. The party is so so organized that they see the party being the string puller of the office of the President. They prop up people that are lacking in intellectual capacity.
Martha Stewart just radiates brilliance Palin is just a female Bush a bit smarter but not buy much.
ha ha -
the governor of a state, or a cup cake maker. hummm... i find it hard to believe this woman made a billion dollars tying pine cones together in the shape of the statue of liberty. boring??? has anyone ever tried to stay awake while martha speaks.
on a more serious note, i will always believe that martha went to jail unfairly, should never have spoken to the cops, they were going to get her to say something wrong, no doubt about it.
arrest the government employee that leaked the info on the bio-med company in the first place. the government will never be fair or blame themselves. (I DON'T mean obama's apology tour '09 either.) dump the federal government. marginalize the liberals.
I used to like Martha for bringing beautiful things to the middle class. Her recent slamming of Rachael Ray and now Sarah...hmmm..I think she is insecure and maybe she is a former abused child. She is acting like one. What I once loved..the Martha Stewart show... I can't stand to look at her. I am also done buying her products.
I agree with Martha, Palin is boring and confused. Palin is just awful!!! Society is going backward instead of forward with her kind of thinking...if you can even call it that. Geez!!!

It's a cookbook, not a menu!
For the monster media machine that is Martha Stewart, don't you think some "handler" would have told Martha not to insult the people buying your product? I guess what this means is she doesn't need a certain segment of the US population anymore now that she has regained her financial footing after the trip to the slammer. Yesterday, I cancelled my subscription to both Living and Everyday Food,e mailed to tell that group of marketing geniuses that I reprogramming another show over her Sirius station and am sending my collection of past issues to the recycle bin.
You've got to hand it to Martha for her staying power. Who was it that quit her job as governor? I forgot already.
Amazing that people would give Martha Stewart, who did time for stock fraud, any kind of credibility in trashing other women such as Rachel Ray and now Sarah Palin. Catty little ex-con, isn't she? Martha couldn't shine Palin's shoes.
who is buying the book, who is making it a best seller?

One thing for sure Martha worked for everything she has and her IQ is probaly three times higher. Palin looks and sounds like the type of womman who slept around a lot for whatever she has.

You are a poor excuse for a mother. After listening to Sarah's advise your daughters may get pregnant at 16. Then again you say you have 5 daughters and maybe a couple of more boys, So with so many kids, you probably got pregnant as a teenager, being married a few times, live on welfare at a trailer park somewhere. Typical
I live SP for one and only one thing. She seems to irritate the liberals just enough to make them crazy. Just mention SP to a liberal and the hate and loathing will come out in cursing. If you can get a word in edge wise to ask a question of why you dislike her they cannot utter any word that makes sense.
Shame on Roman Swift.... Sarah Palin "looks" like a woman that sleeps around. What the heck does that mean? Because she's attractive? Martha Stewart finds her boring.... Really? I can barely stay awake when I hear her speak she's so monotone. For those who say Sarah is ignorant, let her credentials speak to that. She has more experience than our current President.
Got something to say?
