CNN Bozo Accidentally Outs His Source; Palins Threaten Legal Action On Divorce Smear
American Spectator ^ | 8.2.09 @ 8:53PM | By Robert Stacy McCain

Posted on 08/02/2009 8:18:27 PM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

An attorney for Sarah Palin has delivered a letter threatening legal action against an anti-Palin blogger who was the source of a divorce rumor that the attorney for the former Alaska governor called "categorically false."

Publication of the letter at a Web site that repeated the rumor has uncovered circumstantial evidence that the anti-Palin blogger "Gryphen" is a kindergarten teacher at an Anchorage elementary school....

CNN stringer/anti-Palin blogger Dennis Zaki published ... a copy of a letter from Palin attorney Thomas Van Flein, ordering "Gryphen" to retract the allegations -- calling them "complete fabrications, false and defamatory" -- or face legal action. The Van Flein letter, published by Zaki with the name of the recipient blacked out, ended with this sentence:

"If you do not have an attorney, please let me know if you want to be served with the summons and complaint at the kindergarten where you assist or at your residence." (Emphasis added.)

By publishing the letter, Zaki inadvertantly provided valuable information to an anonymous tipster who compiled online research indicating the identity of "Gryphen," ....

Media in Alaska will not be able to ignore the news that the state's most notorious anti-Palin blogger is a kindergarten teacher at public school. Having spent part of my early career as a newspaper reporter covering the education beat, I can predict that "Gryphen" will soon at the center of a maelstrom of controversy....

"Gryphen" [is] Jesse Griffin, a part-time teaching assistant at Trailside Elementary School in Anchorage. At his Immoral Minority blog, Griffin now confirms the basics (without using his real name), saying he has "every confidence that I will be vindicated."....

Good luck with that vindication, Mr. Griffin. Im sure the taxpayers of Anchorage won't mind you calling Mrs. Palin all those ugly names ....

Indeed, a 49 year-old male and you're only a kindergarten teacher assistant??

Shouldn't you be assistant Principal or Superintendent by then?

“Seriously I think those who hate Sarah Palin the most are indeed very much on the “gay” side.”

Much of the nastiest vitriol directed toward conservatives in general, both domestically and internationally, is driven by hateful queers.

I've never heard of a male kindergarten teacher or helper before.

Only in the movies...

He is on myspace, and claims to be divorced. He hasn’t logged in since January 22. He has just two friends, and one of them is Tom! Hahahaha......

I don’t think they will have any problem proving malice. They should file suit and this creep can find out how it feels and how much it costs.

Don’t know much about the current Anchorage school superintendent.

But the ex-Anchorage school superintendent works as superintendent of the Dallastown Area School District in York County, Pennsylvania where I live.

Stewart Weinberg presides over a tax and spend school district and is said to P.O. parents and staff alike with his arrogance.

He says that isn’t his ‘full time job’. So I went searching and found this...

He also works here...

“Confirms he’s a RAT!”

Yep...he’s a ‘Rat alright...my guess, from looking at that crappy blog of his, that he’s not a real bright ‘Rat, either...and I’M GUESSING he’s gay...NOT THAT THERE’S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT...

I’ll give 5:1 he’s a homosexual. Probably “likes” kids.

He’s not a teacher, just an aide. If he posted the remarks from school, he should be fired.

Lol, I need to watch more TV to keep up with your little blurbs. Don’t know what the ‘Pat’ part is because I don’t watch it.

He is on myspace....He has just two friends

His friends on facebook read like a who's who of radical Alaskan bloggers. That nasty celtic woman is on there among others I recognized. He must not have been able to file an ethics complaint due to his job so this is his contribution to the trashing.
