“6)Georgetown deserves what ever trouble it has coming to it, for recruiting students like Fluke instead of looking for bright young orthodox Catholics.”

That was my first thought when I heard more about Fluke. There’s 2 ways to think about this. 1) Georgetown is now a Bad Boys paradise; or 2) Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to “go Georgetown”

Be Breitbart!

Sorry, but you’re wrong on almost every count concerning Palin. Even if ex-politicians were not public figures, and even supposing that paid public speakers aren’t public figures, best selling authors would most certainly be public figures. Palin is a public figure squared, and that’s just a fact you’ll have to accept.

You’d never win that one. The adjective-less (which is the key) use of the word prostitute has but one meaning. You couldn’t find a competent lawyer willing to argue otherwise in front of a court.

I haven’t commented on the Rush thing yet, but I will now. Rush stepped over the line and he knows it, hence his apology. I won’t say that I’ve never called anyone a slut, but I’ve never used the word in even such a minor public venue as a cocktail party, nor would I. To actually broadcast the insult was indeed going too far.

Calling someone a slut, even if you think it is deserved is something anyone with even the most rudimentary manners reserves for private words between friends and family.

Ok so even if she is a public figure, the attacks she has gotten from the left, specifically Maher and Letterman, if she wanted to she would have a good lawsuit..just look at that “Film” Game Change, that movie is 100 percent fiction, she could sue HBO if she wanted to

I doubt she could sue. I haven't seen game change, but you can bet Time Warner's lawyers have been over the wording of the disclaimer that accompanies all dramatizions of actual events with a fine tooth comb. If there is anything you can trust about companies like TW, it's that they've covered their rear. All it takes is a couple of sentences to defang any charges of libel or slander.

If liberals start suing for name calling...they are not going to be celebrating for long.
