Conservative activist Sarah Palin won’t be attending the first court proceeding in her defamation case against The New York Times, according to her lawyer.
The former vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor filed a lawsuit on June 27 alleging The Times ran a “fabricated story.” The initial conference in the case is set for 11 a.m. Friday.
Asked Thursday whether Palin will be in the courtroom, her lawyer, S. Preston Ricardo, replied “No” in an email to the Daily News.
"Conservative activist?" Well I guess that sounds better than "failed reality show performer," or "political has been."
I love this part of the article:
Palin wants The Times to pay up for “falsely stating to millions of people that she, a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, who committed a substantial portion of her adult life to public service, is part of a pattern of ‘lethal’ politics,” the suit contends.
"Devoted" wife, mother, and grandmother?
If the court will indulge me I'd like to make an objection. Or vomit in my mouth, whichever is the more convenient.
And who is she kidding with this "committed a substantial portion of her adult life to public service?"
The only public that Palin ever served was her the public that looked back at her from a mirror every morning.
Remember this case is only seeking $75,000 in damages.
And since the Times has declared they are planning to aggressively fight this thing Palin could end up with hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees.
