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 ....

A male kindergarten teacher.

He probably dreams of being able to get divorced.

When there’s one ember found there’s usually a fire nearby.

This individual is entrusted with the care and safety of Kindergarten age children! That is Outrageous! The Authorities must have the Obligation of removing him from direct contact of the children until a full set of Psychological and Mental Health Evaluations have been completed on this Individual. With such irresponsible and Obscene behavior, he appears to be a Disaster waiting to Explode! The Safety of those Poor Children Is The Paramount Consideration!

p,
Wouldn't it be great to find some link to, say, CNN, DailyKos, HuffPo or some other creature and sue them for all of her previous frivolous lawsuit fees?!
