WMAL’s own Larry O’Connor exonerated by DOJ document dump:

Sherrod is suing Andrew Breitbart’s widow and the waggish Larry O’Connor for defamation, alleging that Breitbart’s publication of her remarks made before an NAACP crowd caused her harm, including her firing.

In any case, you said it, your remarks from a public event were published and you want to sue?

Give it a rest and send out your resume...

The funny thing, it was never a secret that the order came from the White House. She has been shameless in suing Breitbart when it was no secret that it was the White House that fired her.

Shirley Sherrod got railroaded. I think there were people at USDA who understood -- if only because they took the time to talk to Ms. Sherrod -- that the short clip that made the news, and that caused all the controversy, was taken out of context. (You may recall that the full story reflected rather well on Ms. Sherrod.)

The question is, why didn't the relevant people at USDA relay that information to the WH? Or rather, since I very much expect that they did, why didn't the WH wait to get Ms. Sherrod's side of the story before throwing her under the bus? Who made that bad call? There were a couple of people in the Obama WH at that time who had fairly brutalitarian reputations. It would be interesting to know who Tom Vilsack, Dallas Tonsager, and Cheryl Cook talked to. None of those three, I think, would have acted so crudely.

Apparently the WH wanted Sherrod gone before Glenn Beck, then at his peak, ran with the story that evening. I very strongly suspect that the relevant people at USDA pushed back as hard as they could, and got slapped down. When the WH realized it had made a mistake, it sent Vilsack out to fall on his sword.
