Does this mean FR can sue for slander after it's published?

I get the feeling that outside of FR nobody really knows who she is. :P

Don't know if they ever did the copying/faxing thing but, one thing I do know, faxing an out of alignment document will NEVER result in it getting into alignment.
Her charge that faxing this document somehow made all of those old typeface letters come into complete alignment with the typeface of MS Word is so ridiculous that I'm insulted. The same lameness that attended the original lie, too obvious to fly!

It seems to be true. I just searched Amazon for Mary Mapes, and all I got was a book by another Mary Mapes about Indianapolis and a bunch of children's books by Mary Mapes Dodge, who evidently was a better and more honest person than her descendant.
As a rule Barnes & Noble pushes liberal books and hides conservative ones, whereas Amazon appears to be fairly impartial.
I imagine this is temporary, until after the announced publication date. I can't imagine Mapes would be stupid enough to remove her book from one of the biggest outlets.

"wanted to crouch and hide behind the door and cry my eyes out."
People that lie and get caught sometimes have this reaction.
Many little children do this when they get caught fibbing to their parents!
To: Paleo Conservative
That's odd. You provide a working link to the book, yet when I searched for Mary Mapes I failed to find it.
You have to give her credit. She has leapt from #255,000 on the list to around 155,000, which is a whole 100,000 better than yesterday!

Everyone's a bad guy, except for me -- and I have the memos to prove it!
To: Paleo Conservative
Bizarre! Now I find that if I click on your link, about two times out of three I get a "looking for something" notice, and then if I click again I find the book. Something strange is going on with their server.

... The little girl in me wanted to crouch and hide behind the door and cry my eyes out ... Oh, I'm just getting all choked up. Maybe she just needed some milk and cookies.
To: Cicero; Paleo Conservative
Somebody has this backwards. You say from 255000 to 155000, and Paleo said 155000 to 255000. I couldn't find it.

As the article notes, the book itself is nowhere to be found on Amazon's site (audio only) which to me is just amazing. Amazon has
everything when it comes to current books. I'm befuddled to say the least but would guess that the actual book is an embarrassing excercise in trying to cover the LMSM's collective asses.
I also noticed that the editorial review of the audio version does not disclose the reviewer and their employer.
What a crock!

--"Faxing changes a document in so many ways, large and small, that analyzing a memo that had been faxed -- -in some cases not once, but twice -- -was virtually impossible. The faxing destroyed the subtle arcs and lines in the letters. The characters bled into each other. The details of how the typed characters failed to line up perfectly inside each word were lost."
--"To these people, there was no such thing as unbiased mainstream reporting, certainly not when it came to criticism of the president, no matter how tepid. To them, there was Fox News and everything else -- and everything else was liberal and unfair."
That's called avoiding reality and the truth at all cost....typical lib- stick your head in the sand and hope for the best...

Still lying I see. She must be related to Bill Clinton. They have the same vice.

My palms were sweaty; I gulped and tried to breathe. . . . Hmmmm, that sounds just like Hillary's reaction when she found out about Monica. Does Mapes use the same ghostwriter?

She still never explains why the supposed "memos" look like they were written with Word. If the memos was genuine then there she should be able to show how they were written using using 1970's typewriter technology.
