Now this is going to be fun - Sherrod to sue
From the
Associated Press:
Ousted USDA employee Sherrod plans to sue blogger
Ousted Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod said Thursday she will sue a conservative blogger who posted an edited video of her making racially tinged remarks last week.
Sherrod made the announcement in San Diego at the National Association of Black Journalists annual convention.
The edited video posted by Andrew Breitbart led Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to ask her to resign, a decision he reconsidered after seeing the entire video of her March speech to a local NAACP group. In the full speech, Sherrod spoke of racial reconciliation and lessons she learned after initially hesitating to help a white farmer save his home.
Hey Associated Press -- first paragraph: "
conservative blogger who posted an edited video"
There is a huge difference between editing a video and excerpting a video. Andrew published an excerpt from a much larger video. He also published the entire video on his site and it bears watching not only to see all of Shirley's racial comments but also the audience's reactions to those comments...
Now with things like her own $13 Million dollar "agricultural discrimination" settlement (
here and
here); the discovery process will be a bitch for her.
Time to cook up a bowl of popcorn and watch the proceedings unfold...
