It is not illegal to impersonate a journalist, but when an
anti-Palin blogger published a bogus "exclusive" Saturday,
he signed up for a
lesson in the law of unintended consequences:
Jesse Griffin, the Alaska blogger who Saturday claimed in an
"exclusive" report that Todd and Sarah Palin were
divorcing, will no longer work as an Anchorage kindergarten
teaching assistant, school officials confirmed Wednesday.
Griffin's resignation followed revelations that the 49-year-old
Griffin had posted (under the alias "Gryphen") sexually
explicit advocacy of pornography and masturbation on his
"Immoral Minority" blog. . . .
Griffin blamed "the Palin team and their minions" for
discovery of his "Gryphen" online alias, which he says
resulted in death threats and harassment. . . .
"Minions"? Merely a reporter doing his job.
It's like Joe Friday said: "Just the facts, ma'am."
