CNN Bozo Accidentally Outs His Source; Palins Threaten Legal Action On Divorce Smear
American Spectator ^ | 8.2.09 @ 8:53PM | By Robert Stacy McCain

Posted on 08/02/2009 8:18:27 PM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

An attorney for Sarah Palin has delivered a letter threatening legal action against an anti-Palin blogger who was the source of a divorce rumor that the attorney for the former Alaska governor called "categorically false."

Publication of the letter at a Web site that repeated the rumor has uncovered circumstantial evidence that the anti-Palin blogger "Gryphen" is a kindergarten teacher at an Anchorage elementary school....

CNN stringer/anti-Palin blogger Dennis Zaki published ... a copy of a letter from Palin attorney Thomas Van Flein, ordering "Gryphen" to retract the allegations -- calling them "complete fabrications, false and defamatory" -- or face legal action. The Van Flein letter, published by Zaki with the name of the recipient blacked out, ended with this sentence:

"If you do not have an attorney, please let me know if you want to be served with the summons and complaint at the kindergarten where you assist or at your residence." (Emphasis added.)

By publishing the letter, Zaki inadvertantly provided valuable information to an anonymous tipster who compiled online research indicating the identity of "Gryphen," ....

Media in Alaska will not be able to ignore the news that the state's most notorious anti-Palin blogger is a kindergarten teacher at public school. Having spent part of my early career as a newspaper reporter covering the education beat, I can predict that "Gryphen" will soon at the center of a maelstrom of controversy....

"Gryphen" [is] Jesse Griffin, a part-time teaching assistant at Trailside Elementary School in Anchorage. At his Immoral Minority blog, Griffin now confirms the basics (without using his real name), saying he has "every confidence that I will be vindicated."....

Good luck with that vindication, Mr. Griffin. Im sure the taxpayers of Anchorage won't mind you calling Mrs. Palin all those ugly names ....

If she chooses to sue, I'll support Palin's legal defense fund - I want to see her on offense!

Kim Chatman filed ethic’s complaint against Sarah Palin for Legal Defense Fund (friend of ‘Celtic Diva’ aka Linda Kellen Biegel) ‘volunteers’ for the Division of Elections in Alaska. Chatman claims to not get involved with any candidates. ha... she was involved with the Juneteenth lawsuit against Sarah Palin too.

He’d be more at home in the Silverado (formerly Flossies I think), getting his whip on...

As for celtic Diva and her “friend”, they belong at Starky’s or the Egyptian room...

Nahhh -don’t fret about me - Portland is so damn freaking queer - even us straight people know where a few of “those” bars are...which is part of why I left.

The inmates are running the asylum, and running it into the ground.

One day the normal people will return to restore beauty, order, and common sense.

Kindergarten teachers are evil! I should know, I am married to one.

I'm wondering if this might be the Jesse Griffin they're talking about.

If he’s a TA (teacher’s assistant) he is not a teacher, at least to my knowledge, at least around here. As a TA he would help in the classroom and quite possibly help with kids with disabilities or learning problems.

One of his friends is last name Griffin so I would say a good bet.

can we say if Palin’s attorney decides to really go after this we have links direct to CNN and perhaps higher?? I said a week ago Axelrod and Rahm were getting careless where Palin was concerned.

On his Immorality Minority blog:
About Me This blog is dedicated to finding the truth, exposing the lies

Liar, liar, pants on fire. Great that this guy (gay?) is such a shining example of telling the truth for children in kindergarten (or any age). Some people are so low, they don't even have to stoop.

A male kindergarten teacher. He probably dreams of being able to get divorced.

They should fire his ass. And if I was a parent that had a child in his class, I would be in his face.

This freak should NOT be working with children PERIOD. Nothing to do with politics, but reading the vile crap on his blog just shows that he is a sick creature and does not need to be around children. I hope the school gets notified about the kind of sicko they are allowing around the kindergarten children over there. Sarah’s lawyer has been in contact with

Yes, fantasy. Though my mom has been a primary school teacher (K through 3rd grade) for 40+ years and during her times there have been a few male teachers, but certainly not many as you can imagine.
