For want of an "L," a reputation was lost, a former judge claims.
Richard W. Postma Jr., a former state judge in Alaska, has filed a federal lawsuit against attorneys for the Alaska Bar Association over "hazing" he says he endured after former Gov. Sarah Palin's appointment letter thanked him for his "pubic service."
Postma, who was appointed to the bench in 2007, claimed the typographical error that turned "public" into "pubic" led to suggestions that he got the appointment by performing oral sex on the former governor. He filed the suit Feb. 11 in U.S. District Court in Anchorage, with an amended complaint filed the next day.

I doubt she proofreads everything she signs. Probably had someone employed that was supposed to do that sort of thing for her.

What he complaining about, they repeatedly have left the last letter (T) off of his last name in this article.

Sounds like he really did need to be out of office. All he had to do was call her and draw attention to the error and if he’s on the up and up, I have NO doubt she’d offer a pubic...I mean public appology, or a corrective letter.
Something tells me that they wanted him out and found an excuse.
That ‘something’ is his actions as a result of the error. Sounds like nobody liked working with him.
