Here's another thread you never thought you would see on FR.

No one got sued did they for calling dirtyx42 a rapist or a liar or a murderer did they?

[NeoCaveman]

Pings.

[Mr. Lucky]

What you post is a reasonable accurate nutshell of the law of slander as it applies to private individuals. It is not an accurate statement of the law of slander as it applies to those who have intentionally placed themselves in the public eye.

Jokes about the Clintoons aren't covered.

Bill and Hillary were at the Yankee's home opener, sitting in the first row, with the Secret Service people directly behind them. One of the Secret Service guys leaned forward and whispered something to Bill.

Clinton stared at the guy, looked at Hillary, looked back at the agent, and nodded his head. Then Bill picked up Hillary by the coat collar and the seat of her pants, and threw her right over the wall onto the field.

She's kicking and swearing and screaming, and the crowd goes wild. They're cheering, applauding, and high-fiving.

Bill is bowing and smiling, when the agent leans forward and says.........

"I said ..... they want you to throw out the first PITCH!"

Want more?

Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America's shelves this week with "Clinton Soup," in honor one of the nation's most distinguished men. It consists primarily of a weenie in hot water.

Chrysler Corporation is adding a new car to its line to honor Bill Clinton. The Dodge Drafter will begin production in Canada this year.

When Clinton was asked what he thought about foreign affairs, he replied: "I don't know, I never had one."

American Indians have nicknamed Bill Clinton "Walking Eagle" because he is so full of crap he can't fly.

Clinton lacked only three things to have become one of America's finest leaders: integrity, vision, and wisdom.

In his recent campaigning around the country for numerous democratic hopefuls it was said that Clinton was doing the work of three men: Curly, Larry, and Moe.

Clinton's revised judicial oath: "I solemnly swear to tell the truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know."

When asked by his aide what he wanted done about the abortion bill, Clinton replied, "Go ahead and pay it."

You know, politicians and diapers have one thing in common. Both should be changed regularly, and for the same reason.

I've been just lurking a lot lately. But this cracked me up.

[NeoCaveman]

I'm demonstrating absurdity by being absurd.

For such an excellent display of humor, at the end of a long
day, I hereby direct you to go home, guzzle something cold, and frosty, and put on Side 4 of UFO's Strangers in the Night. (Lights out, Rock Bottom...)...

[NeoCaveman]

Well I am already home. Took a half day as this could be the last nice day until March.

[xsmommy]

[hobbes1]

Well, to quote the famous Dynah Moe Humm..."Just get... wasted, and you're halfway there.." ...LOL

"Of course, if a statement is true, there can be no action for defamation"

Oh please allow me to tell the truth.
In addition to being only the second president impeached –
although the (Spineless)Senate failed to convict and remove him from office –
Clinton was held in contempt by Judge Susan Webber Wright for having lied in her court and fined $90,686.
Clinton paid the fine.
He did not challenge the ruling.
The Arkansas court's Committee on Professional Conduct exercised the power to revoke Clinton's license as an Arkansas lawyer (hurrah!) and to impose other sanctions.

You just can't refute the truth Billy Jeff Blythe, we won't let you!
