10/30/2009 - Martha Stewart - Queen of the domicile Martha Stewart slung sharp criticism for fellow cook Rachael Ray and even ex Governor Sarah Palin, calling her a "dangerous person" who Stewart "wouldn't watch... if you paid me." © Sylvain Gaboury / PR PhotosCNN asked Martha Stewart if she followed Sarah Palin, described by Stewart as "very boring to me." Having someone so "confused" in government is unsafe, she said. That makes Palin a "dangerous person." "She's so confused," Stewart said. "Anyone in government like that is a real problem. Reacting to the massive first-day sales of Palin's new book, she added: "Good for her. Good for her. ... I wouldn't watch her if you paid me." Martha Stewart previously was interviewed by "Nightline" co-anchor Cynthia McFadden and was asked about Ray.Stewart ceded that while Rachael Ray may be popular, her style is "not good enough" for the domestic diva. "She professed that she cannot bake," Stewart told McFadden. "She just did a new cookbook which is just a re-edit of a lot of her old recipes. And that's not good enough for me. I mean, I really want to write a book that is a unique and lasting thing. Something that will really fulfill a need in someone's library."

Stewart elaborated: "She's different," Stewart said of Ray. "She's more of an entertainer...with her bubbly personality, than she is a teacher, like me. That's not what she's professing to be...She's a totally different kind of cook than I am. I don't know if she has a garden. I don't think so. But if she does, she doesn't show that on her show so much." Stewart also shared with McFadden that the amount of money she lost due to her imprisonment was "inestimable." "Probably more than a billion dollars, of course," Stewart said. "And if you add in what the company was worth, absolutely. And I'm a major shareholder in the company. When you are prosecuted in such a way and a great portion of wealth is dissipated, all I can think is, so much, what I could have done with that. For the good of mankind. And I hope that I can continue."
