Martha Stewart: ‘I would feel weird, really weird’ about having a president who can’t use a computer.»

Today, Martha Stewart dedicated her show to blogging, featuring Politico bloggers Jonathan Martin and Ben Smith. Stewart pointed out that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) — by his own admission — doesn’t know how to use a computer, and said she would feel “weird, really weird” about having a president who doesn’t understand “the most current mode of communication.” Watch it: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/09/17/martha-stewart-mccain/


Stewart praised the bloggers: “It’s great. You’re really out there and informing us, and I’m grateful for that.”

6. Let's hope she can convey that to all of her

K-Mart shoppers! Yikes -- I hope K-Mart doesnt drop her products in retaliation.

I used to dislike Martha intensively, until she got a bum rap and ended up the the slammer. I did a 180 and subscribed to her magazine. Even made her mac & cheese recipe for Superbowl Sunday as an expression of solidarity (very labor intensive, but definitely worth it).

Anyway, if that's Martha's position, it's good enough for me.
