1. probably not

clearly she was being libelous, but PROVING libel in a court is EXTREMELY hard. rightfully so.

2. I think so, but do you really think the Imperials would allow it

Most likely, the case wouild be maneuvered before a Bushevik Loyalist "Judge" who would give Annthrax the Special Federalist Society Wink.

Trial over.

In the worst case, Max would "commit suicide" by falling from an unscreened window onto a hard surface from a height of greater than 50 ft.

3. I believe a public official has to prove malice.

With that bitch it shouldn't be too hard.

4. This is the rare case when I would say we shouldn't dignify the attack...

Edited on Tue Mar-23-04 06:27 PM by CBHagman

...by giving a response. Yes, we should rally to Max Cleland's defense. Yes, we should call a spade and spade and hold up Coulter for the throughly valueless, ignorant, degenerate, lying, vicious, sleazy, low, mean-spirited, Scaife-money-sucking, vile, (probably) drug-addled being she is.

But Max Cleland will appear in the history books. Coulter will not. She's done nothing of value. She won't even have children living after her. Cleland should go on and live his life and let Coulter fade away.

In this case, I really think time wounds all heels.

However, if this were the U.K., I'd say there was hope for a libel case and that the vet should haul A.C.'s boney bottom into court.
