Another protest of the Sarah Palin book

Molly Ball passes along this unsolicited statement - proffered by a PR firm with ties to Sarah Palin - from a Brad Hanson, who used to own a snowmobile business with Todd Palin and who is alleged in the new Palin tome by Joe McGinniss to have had an affair with her:

"This is the same old story that went around in 2008. It is a complete and outright lie. Todd and Sarah Palin have been good friends for many years, and in fact we still own property together. We sold a former joint business venture for business reasons, nothing more. These attacks are shameful and those making them seem to be out only to destroy good people and make money doing so."

The book actually hasn't been getting much by way of mainstream attention, but this could help get it at least a passing glance.

Thanks for that explanation. You are right about the importance of the Constitutional right of free speech; and I agree, a positive proof of malice would be hard to come by.

There are things about our 2011 American culture I find positively revolting. And one of them is the level of loose contemptuous and defamation found almost everywhere. I can't hold myself entirely blameless.

That’s “loose contemptuous talk”. Also, hitting the Enter key without proofreading :o/
