The wife of Rep. Gary Condit is suing the Star tabloid magazine for $15 million, claiming it libeled her by claiming she threatened to kill herself because of her husband's relationship with federal intern Chandra Levy.

In the suit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Fresno, Carolyn Condit said the magazine knowingly published falsehoods in a Sept. 11, 2001, cover story, including claims that she threatened to kill herself, trashed the family house and sought counseling.

Condit, and the Condit family have NO earning ability in the real world -- he is forced to use his family (again) to earn an income..

His son and daughter were BOTH previously on the "civil servant" staff payroll --- sucking on the tit of taxpayers...."earning" salaries far beyond their worth or contribution.

Once it was known that Condit lost the primary, it was reported he "paid" his children AGAIN out of contributor's money for "consulting" --- figures over $100K were mentioned.

Now, the bastard is using his cheated wife - to sue!
The bastards have no shame..... a true politician's family.

They make "white trash" look like royalty.

My assessment too. This familiy doesn't know the meaning of work. Now that the civil pay is over...it's court time to keep the money coming.

I read earlier this year, that she had threatened to sue, NBC's, Law and Order television show, unless they issued an apology.

The legal pundits kicked it back and forth, and all concluded it would never go anywhere, since Law and Order issues a disclaimer at the beginning of the show, that these are not real people.

Never heard it again, so guess she decided against trying to shake down "Law and Order."

I just cannot understand why she is bringing this on herself. Did her attorney not tell her that the magazine will have the chance to DEPOSE her and investigate HER AND HIM.

If there was any doubt about Condit, they are going to find it and use it to defend themselves, you can bet that.

She claims he NEVER had an affair with Levy; we're gonna see sworn proof that they did. This is going to be a blood bath.

Borgia? I see. You could of used the Clinton's as a better example, but instead you decide to slap at what you hate most. Don't think I didn't understand your petty intent in that reply. What's the matter? Still sore from having your clock cleaned in Roman history?

I hope Mrs.Creep gets on a witness stand.

I hope she swears she never knew of Chandra Levy before her death.

I hope she talks of her time in DC,in the timeframe of Chandras death.

I hope the opposing lawyers ask of the Cheney meeting, and the Dr.appointment,both supposedly within hours of the murder.

I hope the Saudi sex partners of Condit are investigated.

Did Mrs. Creep know them?

Are they part of the Saudi Kadiz California water thingy?

Just because someone refuses to accept the sanitized Disney version of European history, it does not make him a bigot. I actually live in the area so I know the Condits actually have a lot in common with the Borgias, Gary is Rodrigo, Chad is Cesare and Cadee is Lucrezia.
