Why didn’t you get a mention in this illustrious list of bloggers/media, etc.?
Palin attorney Thomas Van Flein warned legal action may be taken against bloggers and publications that reprint what he calls fraudulent claims.
“To the extent several websites, most notably liberal Alaska blogger Shannyn Moore, are now claiming as ‘fact’ that Governor Palin resigned because she is ‘under federal investigation’ for embezzlement or other criminal wrongdoing, we will be exploring legal options this week to address such defamation,” Van Flein said in a statement. “This is to provide notice to Ms. Moore, and those who re-publish the defamation, such as Huffington Post, MSNBC, the New York Times and The Washington Post, that the Palins will not allow them to propagate defamatory material without answering to this in a court of law.”
He also told the Anchorage Daily News that Palin wasn’t in any criminal legal jeopardy.
At the same time, Palin informed her spokesman David Murrow early Saturday that someone using the name “exgovsarahpalin” on Twitter was spreading a false rumor that there was to be a party at her suburban home in Wasilla, outside Anchorage.
Please bloggers here at the pond, don’t go to the Wasilla party. I may be sued by Sarah con suis and it will cost Alaska state … millions! Go Sarah, go. Keep up the good work with the hand of your god in the downfall of the Republican party. The reactions to you speeches are never about the issues, just about the narcisstic you.

(Politico.com) – The disinvitation from speaking, said a campaign committee official, was done “out of respect” for Gingrich.
“You dance with the one who brung ya,” said the official, who stressed that event organizers were still happy to have Palin appear and be introduced.
… after public uncertainty as to whether she had actually accepted and would attend, the NRSC and NRCC decided to invite Gingrich instead. Palin aides in Alaska say the governor never accepted that first invitation and attributed the mix-up to Washington-based advisers.
But then last week — in part due to the urging of Republican überfundraiser and Palin friend Fred Malek — the NRSC extended a new invitation for Palin to speak. The plan, Republican sources say, was to make her appearance something of a surprise for GOP donors in attendance.
Palin was in New York this weekend on a mix of state and personal business — she celebrated the 50th anniversary of Alaska statehood at a large celebration in Auburn N.Y., the hometown of William Seward of “Seward’s Folly” fame — and the idea was that she’d swing down to the capital for the dinner before flying on to Texas for energy-related events.
Cartoon: there is room for everyone in the GOP …
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."Everything is a soap opera with her. Even a simple yes or no to a speaking engagement. Linked through to the VF article. I think Purdum is spot on and recent events bear this out:
Some economic problems and poof she is gone. But Palin can run for Murkowski’s seat next year using the peculiar Alaskan voter to put her again in the national spotlight. The added bonus here is she will be one of 100 senators and can be completely irresponsible in her voting with an eye on national office. This bizarre circus will be back in town before you know it. Hide the women and children.
you are calling on me to get sued?
You can’t get blood from a rock. Keep that in mind as you ponder Oui’s challenge.
Hell, yeah. You’re like nobody in the lefty blogosphere unless Palin is threatening to sue you. heh. You could use the publicity to increase site traffic… and think of the fund-raising possibilities… 😉
naming a boy Sue….
Does this mean that I won’t be getting a fruit basket?
thought you already got your fruit basket on another thread
