When FOX news sued Al Franken last year, I was a little embarrassed to be a conservative. Franken’s book, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, was about to come out, and FOX decided to sue because the title contained the words “fair and balanced.”
I thought the whole thing was stupid and brought unnecessary and unneeded press to Franken and his liberal cohorts. See this Washington Post (registration req.) story for background.
In a developing story on the Drudge Report, John Kerry’s band of legal thugs is “asking” Regnery Publishing to withdraw the book that exposes him as a liar. What a gaggle of idiots. (I try not to call people “idiots”, but it’s Friday and I feel like doing it.)
I think it’s just as dumb for John Kerry to try to ban the book. Why? Because it’s giving the book and his lies unnecessary press. Either answer the charges (with specifics, not generalizations) or ignore the book. In the words of someone I “know”, Kerry whines, cries, but does not answer.
Besides, even if Regnery withdrew the book, Kerry’s still got problems with his ever-changing war stories. Good grief. At least Bill Clinton was slick, John. Learn from your great savior!
When Michael Moore’s trash came out, the RNC didn’t sic a bunch of slick lawyers on the pitiful, desperate, overreaching liberals, did they? The generously-proportioned Moore is still raking in the dough. Liberal dupes.

By the way, Michelle Malkin will be on Rush Limbaugh in the 1 o’clock hour. She’ll talk about her treatment last night by Chris Matthews on Hardball. Michelle’s blog is being overrun. You may not be able to access it for a while.
Update (6:50 p.m.): It’s getting really muddy. Kerry goes crying to the Federal Election Commission.

Update II (8/21): Unfortunately, the GOP also cries.
