Joe McGinniss Wants to Be Taken Out of "Sarah Palin's Alaska"

The premiere episode of "Sarah Palin's Alaska" began with the former governor's piqued version of a minor scandal of the summer -- author Joe McGinniss renting the house next to hers as he researched his biography of Palin. Today, McGinniss's attorney Dennis Holahan has requested that McGinniss's image be removed from the show as "he was not aware that any camera crew was in fact videotaping him," and the description of him in the show was "defamatory." (McGinniss has repeatedly objected to Palin's assertion that he could, or even wanted to, spy on her kids from the house -- an assertion she made again in the show.)

I hope that the DUmbass didn't use the words "taken out". Up that way I'm sure someone would oblige him.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Your honor, I ask this complaint be dismissed citing the precedent in Gander v. Goose in the saucing incident of 1768.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."
