Judge dismisses libel suit by wife of former Calif. Rep. Condit

Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - A federal judge has dismissed a libel lawsuit filed last year by the wife of former California Rep. Gary Condit against USA Today and its parent company, Gannett Co.

U.S. District Judge Bruce Black ruled this week that there is no jurisdiction to hear the case in New Mexico.

The lawsuit, filed in New Mexico because of state law that lets plaintiffs sue up to three years after a published report, was in response to a July 27, 2001 USA Today article about the disappearance of Chandra Levy, a former intern to Rep. Condit.

Have you seen the episode of Southpark featuring Gary Condit, OJ Simpson, and the Ramsey's? It's pretty brutal.

How can you file a lawsuit if you don't have any thumbs?

Probably living off a very nice pension --
He has spent his entire worthless life -- as a "civil servant"...and hair comber.
I suspect he's doing quite well, thank you..

Didn't read full article. However, it is clear that this is another example of media bias. The AP names Condidit as a former Congressman but does not identify his party.

Media journalistic "ethics": Never identify the party of an offender if a dem; always identify party if offender a Republican.

I just show that on the FNC scroll, which is the reason I visited RR this morning. I'm very curious. Revisiting earlier leads.
