From the article: “[Moore’s attorney Jill] Clark pointed out to the jury that Hoff, in a later blog post, took partial credit for Moore’s firing.”

Yeah, maybe the sack-dance wasn’t such a great idea after all.

Tony, you should be far more embarrassed by Al Franken–your state forced him on the rest of us, with what seemed to be rather questionable vote counting (or whatever it is called up there); Franken is not anywhere near, say, Sonny Bono and never could be.

If the school fired Mr. Moore on the basis of a blog posting alone, then the school committed error, not the blogger.

Al Franken is terrific and has the potential to be a great senator. He, like our President, took up some polluted ideas, but he does think more than most.

Absurd. Hopefully will be overturned on appeal.

Next time he should just put something really offensive on a sign and carry it on the public sidewalk in front of the guy’s house, and then he can claim that the First Amendment protects him from liability. Guess there’s no First Amendment protection for factually accurate blog postings.

Franken keeps a pretty low profile. Most of us from MN are more embarrassed by Bachmann.

What is with Minnesota?

The horror of dumping the nightmare cartoonish Al Franken on the rest of the USA.

And now this.
