Trump berates Martha; hilarity ensues

Donald Trump has some fighting words for Martha Stewart. He's upset that she won't take the blame for her Apprentice spin-off's failure. And he blames her for his show's lower ratings.

Get a load of the nasty letter he sent her. Here are some of its key points:
  • "Your performance was terrible in that the show lacked mood, temperament and just about everything a show needs for success."
  • "I knew it would fail as soon as I first saw it -- and your low ratings bore me out."
  • "Between your daughter, with her one-word statements, your letter writing and, most importantly, your totally unconvincing demeanor, it never had a chance -- much as your daytime show is not exactly setting records."

A little context for this next one: Stewart says that Trump's Apprentice was supposed to cease filming and end completely, ushering in hers. She was actually going to say "You're fired" to him on her Apprentice's premiere episode. Stewart blames Trump's decision to stay on the air for her show's failure.

Now, check out his low blow:

  • "Essentially, you made this firing up just as you made up your sell order of ImClone."

Up to this point his letter had been mean-spirited, but that last "ImClone" bit catapulted it into EVIL (and awesome) territory.

Can't wait to hear how Stewart takes all this. I say it's time she uses her steely, ice-cold persona to battle the Donald. Hey, she could make fun of his hair -- everyone loves that!

Aaaaaand if all else fails, SHANK HIM STEWART! (What, you thought I'd make it to the end of this without a prison joke?)
