Black's Law Dictionary:

Lible: "A method of defamation expressed by print, writing, prictures or signs. In its most general sense, any publication that is injurious to the reputation of another. A false and unprivileged publication in writing a defmatory materal. (INSERT CITATIONS HERE) A maliciously written or printed publication which tends to blacken a person's reputation or to expose him to public hatred, contempt, or ridicule, or to injury him in his business or profession."

Loss of business is not a prerequisite for a libel suit, and I doubt a suit from Bristol/Willow would be dismissed under a 12(b) motion or summary judgment.

I think Black's spells it "libel", but there is always room for local color . What you have cited there is a dictionary definition, not a legal cause of action. And even if you have a sufficient cause of action, these cases are notoriously difficult to win in the U.S. (something to do with the 1st Amendt ... ), which is why so many Americans are now forum shopping and suing in England under that country's more permissive laws/less protected freedom of speech.

that's in the proper "English" here in redneck counter we spell it any darn well way we please.

in the hopes of raising the morale of everyone in this thread, I'd like to respond with a Sarah Palin joke of my own: (not actually, I heard it somewhere else, can't remember where)


Q: what do you call a woman with teenage daughters who teaches abstinence and nothing else?
A: GRANDMA!
