“The edited video posted by Andrew Breitbart led Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to ask Sherrod to resign, a decision he reconsidered after seeing the entire video of her March speech to a local NAACP group.”
So, basically, this is a matter for the courts because Tom Vilsack (he had nothing to do with it, obviously, but going along with the story) was too lazy to click on a link.
This is like the NAACP not bothering to look up “niggardly” in a dictionary.
