Sarah Palin and Malice
Sarah Palin sued the New York Times, claiming they defamed her in 2017.
Okay, I will give you that it’s particularly difficult to defame Sarah Palin. If Game Change didn’t do it —
… nothing can.
Palin lost her libel case against the New York Times yesterday. To win a libel case, you have to prove that the person you are suing either knew or should have known that what they said about you is false, and that they recklessly disregarded it. Malice is the word lawyers use.
She lost. And I think the New York Times didn’t gloat as much as we all wanted them to.
It’s a little thing. But with the way the world is spinning now, little joys seem bigger.
I wonder who paid her lawyers. Unless they did it on concession–in which case, they are idiots.
1Two court findings in one day going against R’s is heart warming. I guess she’ll need to figure out another way to keep her mug out there (the picture of her in the NYT article coming out of the courthouse really caught her ugliness). She’ll also need another money making scam to support her lifestyle.
2As I have mentioned before, I live in Alaska. Palin is on the ballot here in Alaska’s special election to replace the late Congressman Young.
But she hasn’t bothered to campaign here. Instead she has been campaigning in Georgia. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
3Contingency, not concession. Bubba Jr. knows what I mean.
4I’m reminded of the great Lionel Hutz. “Work on contingency? No! Money down.”
5And I think it’s safe to say that slipstream and I don’t miss her one little bit.
6Ms. Juanita Jean Herownself, it was beyond cruel and contemptible for the NYT to deny us our well-deserved and long-awaited moment of schadenfreude. $carah Palin’s bogus lawsuit being thrown out of court? Puh-leeze. We deserve video and 8×10 color glossies of that moment. A nice GIF to ‘commemorate’ the moment would be a nice touch, too.
7If she feels litigious, she should sue the butcher that performed her facial surgery.
8I know this is OT but the 2022 election could make voter intimidation an understatement. Steve Bannon needs to be behind bars instead of a microphone.

9This country needs to be very thankful that Palin quit her daytime job as Governor of Alaska!
If she had finished up her term I believe the next office that she ran for she would have been unstoppable!
Here’s what Rich Lowery said about her to give you an idea of how the right thought about her.
“I’m sure I’m not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, “Hey, I think she just winked at me.” And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can’t be learned; it’s either something you have or you don’t, and man, she’s got it.”
