Bursting all the pretty balloons…

Larry King Live (CNN)

Sometimes despite myself, I enjoy Larry King. Like when he happily serves as a media conduit for all the Martha Stewart's-getting-out-of-prison-right-now hoo-ha and then undercuts the entire proceedings.
FEYERICK: There are dozens and dozens of cameras here. And you know, one very interesting thing, and that is we were at the airport earlier this afternoon -- they'd initially brought in a small flatbed truck. And when they saw all the cameras that were there, they actually backed that one up and brought in a much larger truck….

And even though, you know, she'll be leaving here still under the cover of darkness, it may be very unlikely that we actually get a shot of her leaving the gates of Alderson, but what we will see is Martha Stewart triumphantly walking to this private plane, just like that moment in "Casablanca" when the two of them walk to the airplane. And she's going to sort of jet off into her future, which is so promising. It's not everybody that walks out of prison, you know, to a multi- million-dollar contract which has got many different levels. So things are good. Things are waiting for her out there.

KING: Tanika, this is not Nelson Mandela.

RAY: No, it's not.
See what I mean? I cherish those moments.
