- This strikes me as rather odd.
-
- Let us accept for the moment that Dukakis was not, by any strech of
- the imagination, so qualified.
-
- How can you show he did not BELIEVE that he was qualified?
-
- Or is saying untrue things that you believe a lie in your book?

- It's unclear to me that the previous poster meant that
- "if Dukakis was not a public figure, he would sue". Then
- again, its unclear just WHAT he meant. It seems... dubious...
- to say THAT anyway, as many people are slandered on the net, but
- there are not many lawsuits going on. (or else I never hear about
- them, somehow)
