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 ....

What a loser! Any 49 year old man who wants to work part time as a kindergarten teacher’s assistant shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near kindergarten children! I hope Sara sues him into bankruptcy...I hope she takes every penny he has. I hope she makes it so hard on him that his mother makes him move out of her basement becasue she’s sick of the lawyers banging on her door.

to Griffin, in the (cropped)words of ‘Senator Geary’:

“I don’t like your kind of people. I don’t like to see you come out to this clean country...and try to pass yourselves off as decent Americans. I despise your masquerade; the dishonest way you pose yourself, yourself and your f***ing family.”

Welcome to the Big League Mr. Griffen.

You're about to become intimately familiar with the legal concept known as "Discovery".

Pity the American Spectator cannot employ editors...

And what is that supposed to mean? Let me guess, you're a Reason subscriber.

On principle, they should file suit and include CNN.

There has been much speculation on what Sarah is doing.
They wonder why she has been silent since she gave her resignation speech. Now they know.
YOU GO GIRL.

Thanks for the ping. I hope Van Flein goes after this guy hard, not because he has assets to protect but because he could be a key in unraveling this scheme. The trail goes to DC.

Don’t settle with the guy Van Flein, start deposing people. If you need money, let us know.

He isn’t a teacher in Kindergarten. He’s a part-time teaching assistant. He isn’t even qualified to be a Kindergarten teacher.
