Presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) sued Hillary Clinton for defamation in federal court in Manhattan on Wednesday, claiming Clinton intentionally lied about a Gabbard connection to Russia to hurt her campaign.
The suit is unsparing in its animus for Clinton. “Tulsi Gabbard is running for President of the United States, a position Clinton has long coveted, but has not been able to attain,” the second sentence of the 14-page suit says.
Federal Judge Rules Christian Baker Can Sue Colorado For Religious Persecution. We seriously hopes he bankrupts the state over this. Meanwhile Muslims in Michigan refuse to make gay wedding cakes on a regular basis and zip from the state or the MSM.
Gab Declares War On Google, Files Lawsuit. Gab is an alternative to Twitter. You can pretty much say what you like there and you will not be suspended or banned. We hope they win.
Planned Parenthood sues activists who made undercover videos. We guess Planned Parenthood feels it’s perfectly OK to lie about getting Lamborghinis and selling baby parts. In the meantime, let the Discovery begin (this should be good).
“The people behind this fraud lied and broke the law in order to spread malicious lies about Planned Parenthood,” said Dawn Laguens, the organization’s executive vice president. “This lawsuit exposes the elaborate, illegal conspiracy designed to block women’s access to safe and legal abortion.”
Missouri’s Democratic attorney general broke with his party on Monday and urged a federal judge to invalidate the central provision of the new health care law.
71% of the state voted against implementing ObamaCare last year. And the attorney general is running for reelection next year. Far be it from us to suggest that he jumped ship to preserve his own career, but…
Republican turned Democrat Chris Koster felt a little ill as he watched the election results in November
The New York Times ruefully reports the story:
Missouri’s Democratic attorney general broke with his party on Monday and urged a federal judge to invalidate the central provision of the new health care law.
The filing of the brief by Attorney General Chris Koster, a onetime Republican state legislator who switched to the Democratic Party in 2007, underscores the act’s political tenuousness in a critical Midwestern swing state.
Mr. Koster’s action followed months of pressure from state Republicans that he join attorneys general from other states who are challenging the constitutionality of the law.
Rather than join the litigation, however, Mr. Koster chose to file a “friend of the court” brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, in Atlanta, which is reviewing one of five challenges to the act that have moved into the midlevel appellate courts.
Koster felt the earthquake in November, now he’s simply trying to get out of the way before the tsunami hits.
With Dennis Kucinich’s sandwich lawsuit in mind, it seems to us that the Congressional cafeteria should introduce these new sandwiches named after Washington, DC political and media types.
The Los Angeles Times reports, “After making headlines this week for accusing a congressional cafeteria of selling him a ‘dangerous’ sandwich, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, released a statement today announcing his lawsuit seeking $150,000 in damages had been settled.”
Surely, that sandwich will forever more be known in the Congressional cafeteria as the Kucinich Special. We’re pretty sure customers are already lining up and saying, “Gimme that Dennis Kucinich sandwich.”
Mmmmm. A huge f'ing joe Biden sandwich sounds good right now.
With that in mind, it seems to us that the Congressional cafeteria should introduce a whole line of sandwiches named after Washington, DC political and media types.
Please allow us to make some suggestions:
The Obama Surprise: Some days it’s all baloney and no bread. Other days it’s de-boned and spineless chicken on dark rye (You never really know what you’ll get. That’s why it’s called a surprise.)
The Barney Frank: Rump roast with an extra helping of salami.
The Harry Reid: Cold, aged beef with no seasoning on white bread.
The Ed Schultz: Beef tongue with an extra serving of fat. Always served hot.
The Keith Olbermann: This item has been removed from the menu.
The Joe Biden: This is a huge f’ing sandwich. It contains a lot of f’ing pork. It’s a f’ing fork-ready project. (NOTE: The Joe Biden Combo comes one fry short of a happy meal.)
The Nancy Pelosi: Cold, crusty chicken, hold the pickle, on old rye.
The Helen Thomas: Non-Kosher meats and cheeses that have been aged beyond recognition. It’s all served on Halal-friendly breads (all profits from this sandwich will be donated back to Palestinian freedom fighters seeking the destruction of Israel a peaceful two-state alternative.
The Tim Geitner: Lean, greasy turkey. Tax-free through April 15.
The Michelle Obama: You don’t order the Michelle Obama. The Michelle Obama orders you!
The Al Sharpton: A delightful low carb alternative featuring dark meat turkey wrapped in a thin skin of pure cheese.
The Ben Nelson: Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, The Ben Nelson has sold out.
The Ted Kennedy: Dry, aged liver patty. Ask for the Kennedy Combo and get a free Bloody Mary.
NEARLY 95,000 descendants of Mohammed are going to sue 10 newspapers for publishing “blasphemous” cartoons of the prophet.
If you can’t blow ‘em up, sue ‘em. That seems to be the philosophy of 95,000 direct descendants of Mohammed.
News.com.au has the details of the sordid suit:
NEARLY 95,000 descendants of Mohammed are going to sue 10 newspapers for publishing “blasphemous” cartoons of the prophet.
Faisal Yamani, a Saudi lawyer acting for the descendants, claims that the cartoons – which first appeared in 2005 and caused violent protests by Muslims around the world – are defamatory.
One of the 12 cartoons depicts Mohammed wearing a bomb-shaped turban.
The Sunday Times said that although the cartoons were published by Danish newspapers, Mr Yamani plans to pursue legal action in England, where libel laws are weighted towards the plaintiff.
English lawyers expect that he will argue that the cartoons were published in Britain via the internet and are a direct slur on his clients, who live in the Middle East, north Africa and even Australia.
Mark Stephens, a British lawyer who saw Mr Yamani’s missive to the newspapers, told The Sunday Times: “Direct descendants of the prophet have a particular place within Muslim society … By effectively criticising and making fun of the prophet you are, by implication, holding them up to scandal, contempt and public ridicule.
Just a little unsolicited advice from the legal wizards at IHateTheMedia.com: If the dynamite vest fits, you must acquit.
Al Gore says the science is settled. Now let’s see if the lawsuit is settled.
John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, has put together a coalition of more than 30,000 scientists who don’t buying Gore’s global warming baloney.
Gore won’t debate the issue because he says “the science is settled.” So Coleman thinks his courtroom ploy may give him a chance to expose Gore’s folly.

“We have tried and tried and tried to get a debate on global warming with…Al Gore and any of the scientists behind him over at the UN IPCC,” Coleman said. “We’d love to have a debate with them, but they go ‘Oh, no, the debate is over.’ Well, now there are 30,000 of us. We have 30,000 scientists – 9000 Phds – who have signed up to debunk global warming. And they still won’t listen to us…So we figure maybe a court of law.”
We say bring on the law suit and let Al Gore be judged by a jury of his peers.
The only problem will be finding 12 other pompous, bloated rip-off artists willing to serve on the jury.
On Monday, British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith announced that she would fight a defamation suit brought by American talk show host Michael Savage after he was barred from entering the UK.
On Tuesday, Smith submitted her resignation to unpopular Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Savage was “outraged” when Smith lumped him together on the list with a Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, a skinhead gang leader and a Hezbollah militant who spent 30 years in prison.
Savage, was reportedly asking for as much as $150,000 in damages and an apology.
British observers believe the Savage issue may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back for Smith.
Great Britain is currently embroiled in a scandal over Members of Parliament submitting fraudulent expense reports for personal items. Smith was caught up in the controversy when she submitted an expense report that included the costs of her husband’s porn purchases.
Whether you like Savage or not, you have to admit that he’s never been a danger to anyone. Except, perhaps, Smith and her career.
A Malay court will decide if a Catholic church will be able to continue to pray to Allah. The official language of Malaysia calls God Allah, and this particular church is trying to make a point. But the Muslims are not too happy about it, apparently believing they own the trademark. They are taking the church to court to forbid them from using the word Allah, as they argue its use by other faiths could cause cause confusion and conversions. Islam has 99 other names for Allah, you’d think they could spare one.
If the church can win this battle, we think they should offer 72 73 virgins for new converts from Islam.
Ross Miller, Nevada’s evil Republican Secretary of State, has filed 39 criminal complaints against ACORN. What’s that? He’s a Democrat? Well, that’s pretty damn inconvenient.
In Clark County alone, ACORN registered 91,000 people but 50% of them couldn’t be verified. The typical percentage of unverifiable voter registrations is just 2%.
Miller appeared on Glenn Beck’s show and said, “We’re just trying to send a strong message that we won’t tolerate these kinds of fraudulent practices in the future.”
“When we executed the raid on the ACORN headquarters here in Las Vegas we came across thousands of pages of documents, emails,” Miller continued. “Within those documents we found their company policy directive that outlined for their employees the fact that they were required to meet certain quotas and that these employees were expected to turn in 20 registration forms per day. Otherwise they’d be terminated.”
“We think that the case is very strong,” Miller added. “It’s a very thorough investigation that we’ve had almost a year now in place showing that they were compensating their individual canvassers based on the total number of people registered which is a felony in this state. We’ve filed 39 counts. I think they’re going to have a difficult case to make to the twelve jurors who will ultimately hear this.”
There’s an old saying that a man should be judged by the company he keeps. Our President keeps the company of ACORN.
California Democrat Congressman Henry Waxman is at it again and the compliant mainstream media is doing its best to keep it under wraps.
A provision quietly inserted in a House climate bill would allow “victims” of global warming to sue the federal government and businesses.
Henry Waxman. Or maybe Quark the Ferengi from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. We're not sure which it is.
The Washington Times says that Waxman and fellow Democrat Rep Edward Markey of Massachusetts slipped it into their climate bill.
The provision would set grounds for plaintiffs who have “suffered” or expect to suffer “harm” so that they can somehow blame on government inaction. “Harm” is defined as “any effect of air pollution (including climate change).” Each plaintiff could walk away with as much as $75,000 a year in government payouts. Ahhh, but don’t you worry your pretty little head. Waxman the Watchdog is watching out for you. His bill says no one can get more than $1.5 million in lifetime payouts.
Where do we sign up? We’re already expecting to suffer some harm from global warming. A starving polar bear could wander down from Alaska and ate our lunch.
Dick Tracy villian Pruneface, a dead ringer for Robert Redford? Warren Beatty has supposedly bedded hundreds of women. But the Tribune Company says it won’t be his next conquest.
A unit of the Tribune Co is suing the actor over the rights to Dick Tracy. Court papers say he acquired those rights in 1985, then and starred in and directed the 1990 film based on the comic strip police detective.
Tribune Co says the rights should revert to them because Beatty has “made no productive use” of the rights for more than ten years. Beatty claims he’s working on a Dick Tracy TV special, but the Trib says the TV show is merely a ploy to preserve Beatty’s rights.
If Beatty is actually producing the special, he might want to call Robert Redford. He’d be perfect to play Pruneface.
Now R Kelly’s been accused of stiffing the private detective he hired to recover incriminating evidence that could have could have been used to convict the R&B singer during his infamous 2008 child porn case.
Private eye Charles Freeman is asking $300,000 for services rendered during that trial. Kelly was eventually found not guilty of 14 charges including having sex with a minor and taping himself having sex with a girl barely in her teens.
Freeman says he was hired to “obtain and/or recover certain tapes that were said to incriminate” the singer.
In a surprising turn of legal events, Kelly was found innocent despite the fact that the jury viewed a tape that many observers said clearly showed Kelly and the girl engaged in sexual intercourse.
Kelly’s defense was the classic “Who you gonna believe, me or your lyin’ eyes?”
