President Bush Criticizes Fox News Lawsuit Against Al Franken

"The unpredictability of our liability system means that even frivolous cases, even what we call junk lawsuits, carry the risk of enormous verdicts." Bush told a crowd in Greensboro, N.C.

Oh, wait, I have been informed that this was a speech about misusing the legal system to harass doctors, not misusing the legal system to harass critics of conservative news organizations.

Balkinization apologizes for the error.

No, wait, the White House did come out in favor of legislation that "would help prevent abuse of the legal system and help curb the growing problem of frivolous lawsuits in the United States.''

Ooops, no, it turns out that was a bill to prevent abuse of the legal system to shut down gun manufacturers, not abuse of the legal system to shut down critics of conservative news organizations.

Once again, Balkinzation apologizes for the error.
