Palin’s biggest joke yet

Palin’s attorney is threatening the media over defamatory charges against Palin. This is a result of a blogger and radio host, Shannyn Moore of Alaska indicating that there is a rumor that Palin stepped down because of a pending embezzlement investigation into the construction of the Wasilla Sports Complex.
Welcome to Palin’s version of America and free speech. She thinks that she can control the law.
Moore disputes Palin’s attorney claim and stated to the Anchorage Daily News ”I haven’t defamed the governor, I reported on speculation and rumor in Alaska. … It’s not my rumor; it’s been out there for 10 months and the First Amendment protects me”.
Another example of what life would be like if Palin and her cronies ruled America. What a whining crybaby. What do you call it when a government censors the media? oh yes, Iran. I guess that is the type of America that appeals to Palin.
Someone should tell Palin (and her attorney) to check how hard it is for public figures to win a civil libel suit. Might save her a couple of bucks.

Someone needs to tell Palin that this is not N. Korea. She would do really well there too. If you dare speak out against the Supreme Leader, they chop your head off.
Public Figures (such as Palin) almost ALWAYS lose defamation cases. There is a higher burden of proof placed on them by the law when it comes to these kinds of suits. In order for Palin to win this, she would have to prove that Ms. Moore, or anyone else accused of defaming her, acted with (1) Knowing Falsity, or (2) Reckless Disregard for the Truth.
In attacking this radio announcer, Palin would have to show more than that the announcer failed to investigate–she would have to know, with a surety, that what she was saying was completely false or should have known it was false.
That’s a high hurdle to have to jump over. And one that Palin’s almost certainly likely to stumble over.
Here are all the best jokes on Twitter:
I was up Twittering all Friday night till 4am..the responses were so f@ckin funny..It helped me from the sheer power of laughter!!!
How’s THAT for free healthcare?
Here are some TWITTER recaps of what I saw.
————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Palin is starting her own social networking site. It’s called “Qwitter.”
I couldn’t figure out which I liked best…the Fireworks tonight or Sarah Palin leaving politics.
the MOOSE in Alaska are having a pow wow honkey-tonk Ho Down tonight!!!
I wonder how she’s going to blame Couric for this masterpiece of oratory.
Hopefully she stick with the salmon metaphor and swim out to sea.
Sarah Palin, of all people, should know by now…the withdrawal method doesn’t work.
It is actually sad for me as a Geneticist to see a patient on lose and ridiculed to such an extent, someone MUST diagnose her ASAP if not already.
Sorry, but if you listen to her and don’t realize she’s an idiot, you might be one yourself.
Sarah Palin resigns as Alaska Governor so she can take her FIRST trip abroad.
At the rate the GOP is going they will have to nominate Hillary for the next presidential election, there won’t be any Republitards left.
To lead people you FIRST have to have A BRAIN or STEAL an election!
Those geese are squawking at her for being interviewed in front of that turkey slaughter last November.
First, her in front of turkey getting slaughtered. Now, her lame duck speech in front of quacking ducks. Ever- “foul”.
Sarah Palin: Because nothing says “I’m ready to be President,” like quitting as Governor.
She has balls to use the word “Bloodsport” in a speech denouncing what was done to her!!!

Sarah Palin demonstrates more class than elitist, arrogant, condescending hate mongers like Letterman, Dowd, etc.
—-@xxxxxx You mean “class” like when she’s shooting moose or using her family as “character pawns” to boost her own career?

If you didn’t smell something fishy about Palin from day one, then you need to get your nose checked.
I don’t think she even knows what she’s saying……the words just seem to fall out of her mouth like half chewed bacon
Sarah Palin gives brunettes a bad name. We worked so hard in the 80s to get the blondes to look dumb..now what?
No offense to blondes!
Speaking of (media) “shots” of personal attacks..I wonder how the Moose felt when it was “Shot”????? Do you think it took it personally?
Palin to quit book club until she identifies new plot to persecute her.
Trying to think of a Sarah Palin joke awesome enough to get me sued.
Can’t get over her resignation speech..when she talks about Trig and hope everyone can have a Trig….Is this woman OFF her rocker???
god gave alaska oil??? how does she know this again?
Still cannot figure out this female! Thought there was a chance that soon a woman could take on the mantle to become the next POTUS.. but clearly, that person will not be from Alaska. Where did the OLD Girls Club, go wrong? Not to mention the GOP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1VTurPPwaE
Well…. If you use Palin’s logic on this she is saving taxpayer’s money by not being in office but then she’s wasting it on frivolous litigation concerning libel….. Wow.
