Excerpt -

A deputy prosecutor in the U.S. attorney’s office in Little Rock has fantasies about owning this newspaper.

Robert Govar of Lonoke — formerly chief of the criminal division in the U.S. attorney’s office in Little Rock who’s now been demoted — threatened to sue me last week over a column I wrote about him and his buddy Jay Campbell, the crooked cop who was sentenced to 40 years in prison, along with his wife Kelly, who received a 20-year sentence.

The deputy prosecutor fired off an hysterical e-mail from his office, predicting he would win a $50 million judgment against us, so we’d better get ready to turn The Leader over to him.

“I hope you and some of your ‘sources’ have fifty million dollars but, if you don’t, take good care of my newspaper,” he wrote Friday morning, acting as if he already owned the place.

Why would anybody send something over the Internet that they wouldn’t want the entire world to know about? Same as sending a letter expecting it to be published in the NY Times.

The guy can’t be very bright if he’s never heard of Hotmail or Gmail. He probably ought to get someone to explain libel law and public figures to him.
