So what’s this all about? Sara had a one night stand with someone? That’s it? Meh. You’d think the scandal bar would be higher, considering the kind of shenanigans that Republicans regularly get into. Someone call me when she’s cheating on her husband with an underaged, coked-out lesbian hooker that she hired for $6000 off of craigslist, please. ---

Better yet, when the hooker meets her and says “_Mom?_” ---

I don’t care who she fucked, how many times, or in which positions. I’m just enjoying seeing her squirm for a change. How’s that whole holier-than-thou thingy workin’ out for ya? ---

Me? Just fine, but then again, I made peace with my hypocrisy many, many years ago when I told Tammy Lynn DuPree that I would still respect her in the morning. ---

All I have to say is that the irony of the NYT riding to Palin’s rescue has been quite enjoyable. I just wonder if she is going to learn that A) it isn’t very mature to call people names, B) if you don’t like the ‘gotcha’ questions then don’t do things that cause those questions to be asked, and C) after all the smack she has talked about the media, she looks really foolish when they are the ones saving her reputation. ---

> [@mhendo](#): > > You’re right that the lawyers are hired to defend the publisher’s interest, and not some abstract notion of truth. But, when it comes to defamation, those things do bear some considerable relationship to one another. After all, establishing the truth of a statement is, in America at least, an absolute defense to an accusation of libel or slander. > > I’m not sure i find your economic analysis completely compelling. The more the book sells, the bigger the lawsuit payout could be if there are found to be libelous statements in it. It would, in theory, be possible for a court to award all profits from the book to the plaintiff. Or for the court to award a judgment that is considerably higher than the profits. And, given some of the allegations, a very high judgment wouldn’t be much of a shock if those allegations are found to be false. > > As i said, i haven’t read the book yet, so it’s not clear to me whether McGinnis does, in fact, use the sort of “wiggle room” phraseology that you suggest here. Do you know whether he did this? The book is, after all, in print, so if you’re suggesting that this is what he did, then it’s something that we can find out rather than just speculate about. According to the reviewer at the NYT, he did use weasel words. I linked to the review and quoted the relevant parts on page 1 of this thread. ---

If it’s an accurate review, then it seems that McGinnis has done a bit of a hatchet job here. And if that’s the case, it’s disappointing, both because McGinnis is a good journalist, and because there’s so much criticism that can justifiably be leveled at Palin that it’s a same to muddy the waters with petty insults and innuendo. I’m still not going to feel sorry for her, because she’s become a victim of the same sort of character assassination that has been central to her own political strategy, but i think it’s a shame to stoop to that level when there are so many valid points to be made against her. ---

According to some sources, though, this is exactly the sort of thing that would have her sitting in a dark room, staring vacantly into space. Yesssss, the karma burns, doesn’t it? ---

Agreed. Can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Especially if you’ve got your hands on the burners. ---
