I am of the mind that Sarah Palin’s attorneys, on her resignation, begin to studiously collect and document new examples of libel directed against her and her family, with an eye that when a particularly egregious example happens, she sues their pants off.
But who would it be best to sue? Someone like Howard Dean, a high level Democrat apparatchik; or maybe some wealthy and repugnant media personality. I would find it immensely amusing if she won a hundred million dollar judgment against someone like Oprah or MSNBC.

As a public figure, I don’t think she’s going to be able to shield herself and/or her family, any more than it could have been prior to her resignation. She’s still going to be wide-open for all kinds of remarks, no matter what, and legally permissible.
