#1 One would hope that if this case is actually brought by the DA, the judge would throw it out, along with all parties involved (including the DA).

#1 Update:
Apparently the story is false, and the guy was paid to write the fictional story.

#3 The false story has backfired.

The NYT has condemned Gawker. Both O'Donnell and Coons have as well.

#6 Gawker is run by a hardcore lefty. Who deserves a 2x4 to the face for this sort of stuff, but a simple LIBEL suit taking him for all his money should be the real punishment.

#7 The best punishment would be an O'Donnell victory. And if it happens she will have Gawker to thank.
