Former judge claims 'pubic' typo in Sarah Palin letter led to his lost career [View all]
For want of an "L," a reputation was lost, a former judge claims.
Richard W. Postma Jr., a former state judge in Alaska, has filed a federal lawsuit against attorneys for the Alaska Bar Association over "hazing" he says he endured after former Gov. Sarah Palin's appointment letter thanked him for his "pubic service."
Postma, who was appointed to the bench in 2007, claimed the typographical error that turned "public" into "pubic" led to suggestions that he got the appointment by performing oral sex on the former governor. He filed the suit Feb. 11 in U.S. District Court in Anchorage, with an amended complaint filed the next day.
"Some of the hazing escalated to suggest Postma was the biological true father of Governor Palin's son, Trig Palin," the amended complaint stated. "Other hazing concerned insults about Postma's ethnicity, his mother's national origin, his family and other personal matters."
