SO many disturbing images in one thread...now somebody will post a Helen Thomas picture. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Ghengis]

If you think that is nauseous, just wait till the story on the Ménage-à-trois with Sheehan, Rockwell and Helen Thomas comes out.

It is worse than you think.

The stuff of nightmares.

*shudder*

Dude, I know Halloween is coming up, but use some restraint!

Poor Lew Rockwell. If Melanie Morgan is correct - Lew will NEVER be able to live this down.

To be a good leftist, sometimes you have to take one for the Zipper. :-)

I wonder what the basis of her case will be? In order to sue somebody for slander or libel, she has a very high standard of proof to fulfill, because she is no longer a "private person", she has become a publicity whore and is therefore fair game.

If she was just the average suburban housewife and somebody went out and slandered her, she'd only have to prove that she suffered damage to her reputation as the result.

As a "public person", anybody can say just about anything they want about her, and she has to prove that not only was it not true, but that they knew it was not true and that they did so with malice aforethought.
