Martha Stewart, who stands trial in federal court in Manhattan next month, appeared on Larry King Live last night on CNN. Larry agreed not to ask her any questions about the one thing people wanted to hear: the case against her. According to the transcript, though, he did ask some other hard-hitting questions:

KING: The company is not involved in any of this, right?

KING: Is this -- by the way, we've looked up our records. You've been on five times over the Christmas holidays on this show.

KING: And six other times -- you've broken a record for appearing on this show. Always in better circumstances.

KING: Is this the worst holiday...

KING: We've missed having you. Good having you. Is this the worst holiday ever?

KING: We're going to trace a lot of things to light. Later, your mother will be joining us. In all the interviews we've done, we've never traced your life.

KING: So you want to get into them and go over your life. But how about coping with this on a daily basis? Is this like 24/7?

KING: Has that workaholic emphasis which you've had all your life helped?

KING: Is all of this very shocking to you?

STEWART: No one is ever prepared for such a thing.

KING: I wouldn't imagine.

Editor's Note: Um, No?

KING: And I would imagine especially if someone thinks, I didn't do anything wrong.

KING: So that's got to drive you berserk.

KING: Do you find out in this kind of case who your friends are?

KING: You hear from people?

KING: How about your social life? Now, you had a high social life. I've done a lot of events in New York. You're at most of them.

KING: Do you walk -- when you walk down the street -- and you're a visible person -- you don't hide?

KING: Do you think most people are rooting for you?

And it goes on like that. Even though they didn't talk about the specifics of the case, you can read the indictment at The Smoking Gun.
