An attorney for Sarah Palin is threatening to sue over a new book that he says defamed the Palins and contains "a series of lies and rumors."

John Tiemessen, in a letter to the publisher of Crown Publishing Group Monday, cites an email that author Joe McGinniss allegedly sent a blogger in January seeking substantiation for several rumors that have surrounded Palin's family. That email was posted online last week by Andrew Breitbart.

Tiemessen says McGinniss' book, "The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin," contains "most of" the stories that merely "amounted to the wishful fantasies of disturbed individuals."

You mean it's the seriousness of the charge and not whether it's true?

No, I mean I can't know whether or not it's true. But as I've observed elsewhere, if it does turn out to be true, the revelation won't bowl me over.

So if FReepers go around telling everyone that you wear pink underwear, we don’t have to prove it. It COULD be true. Got it.

Precisely.

Conservatives deal in facts. Not sly gossip. That’s the left’s domain.

No, conservatives believe in circumscribed government. I can assure you that I predicate quite a bit of my daily dealings with the world on supposition, gut feelings and calculated risk. The arena of my personal opinions isn't a court of law.

Sorry but conservatives are not petty little gossips. We leave the slime to liberals.

Bye.
