Martha Stewart Does Lunch with Bill Clinton
- Martha Stewart's Luncheon Faux Pas -
Martha Stewart's personal Presidential
de-briefing follows. Enjoy!
| |
"Think of the great following Martha has throughout
the country - There's no telling how she's broadened my base today,"
President Bill Clinton said at the luncheon. |
|
Martha Stewart, role model for billions
of Americans,
had become the first to censure President Clinton.
| |
The sixth-season premier of Martha Stewart's daily television
show, "Martha Stewart Living," was to have been devoted
entirely to a luncheon date with Bill Clinton.
|
|
| |
"After reflection on subsequent events... We feel that airing
the program would be inappropriate at this time."
What a crowning jewel that get-together must have been!
|
|
| |
Executives at
"Martha Stewart Living"
decided to scrub the broadcast rather than air the 30-minute television
show detailing... |
|
 |
|
"Down Home"
Martha Stewart-style entertainment for
President Clinton.
|
|
| |
The afternoon affair included an all-American
meal complete with wild stallion, Martha cheesecake, pizza-to-go,
green Jell-O, and an after dining dance
and cigar. |
|
 |
|
"The president ate with gusto," Stewart later mentioned.
(Clinton's comments)
|
|
The cancelled broadcast also featured
a
present Martha Stewart made for the president:
| |
A monogrammed set of bedroom pillows.
(No kidding! You just can't make up stuff like
this.)
|
|
 |
|
"I'm sure he'll enjoy using these," Martha said as
she posed with a pillow for the camera.
(Little did she know at the time...)
|
|
Bill Clinton and Martha Stewart
ended the perfect afternoon affair with the trademark hug.
