YAAAAYYYYY YOU TWO!

Thank you, both, ever so much!

I'd like to amend my tagline for a moment...

Powerlineblog...

That is excellent! And unlike the amateurish letter from the DNC (which initially made me suspect it was fake), the article is well written. Thanks for the link, coffee.

Great stuff - the lawyers at Powerline would have fun with Sandler's dishonest thuggery in court, I suspect:

[POWERLINE tells Sandler & co. where to get off]: Sandler's letter to Free Republic incorporates no element of "actual malice." It is couched in the traditional common law of defamation that the Supreme Court killed for public figures in the Sullivan case. Sandler's letter carries Governor Dean's denial of Quinn's assertions, but it does not even allege that Jim Quinn had knowledge of the statements' falsity or made them with reckless disregard of their truth or falsity.

We therefore associate ourselves with our reader's statements regarding Governor Dean and invite Mr. Sandler to sue us for defamation as he threatens to sue Free Republic. This is to put him and his client on notice, however, that we intend to seek our attorney's fees under federal law for the assertion of a frivolous claim if he does so.
