Newt should be flattered, I'm offended...

Offended that media sh*t-wits like this are FALSIFYING this story so badly.

Isn't that LIBEL when it's in print like this and actionable in Court?

For public figures, the standard for Libel is much higher. You have to prove malice.

Interestingly, Palin's lawyer has written the ADN a 'cease & desist' letter, citing the 5 times that Newt was attributed in this speech. This could get interesting.
