Back in the day, Art Buchwald sued Tricky Dick because he WASN'T on "The Enemies List", and was damn insulted by it. I understand how he felt because now I'm tempted to buy that book, dammit.

(3,056 posts)Since it's summer break and I'm not surrounded by 15 year olds who can show me how to do that...how's that work? We all pretty much know what he has to say, but I'd rather not put money in his pocket.
He may wish he had testified...more of us on this side of the aisle might have bought it if he had. The Trumpists sure won't because he's their newest Judas. Folks on our side of the aisle are pissed off he didn't talk when he should. He put himself in a lose/lose.

"Every year across the U.S., student-run publications fall victim to individuals who steal those publications in order to censor the views the publication contains, the Student Press Law Center claims. One of those thieves is Katie Waldman.
.........
Waldman admitted to stealing and throwing away the university newspaper while she attended the University of Florida in 2012, according to heavy.com.
Waldman was a member of the universitys Unite Party, and her political rival had been endorsed by the schools football coach on the front page. This shows her reasoning behind the act. Despite what she had done, she faced no repercussions and remained a member of the Unite Party, according to heavy.com."....(more)

(3,056 posts)and didn't look any further! Thought it sounded weird, even for him, but that's also part of the issue. With him, this is totally possible.
I'll bet the idea danced through his mind, but it was probably more like he'd sue the book distributors for buying it. He's just nuts. But now, we don't have to buy the damn book.
