Shirley Sherrod to sue

Shirley Sherrod, who was reflexively fired by the USDA a week or so back has announced she intends to sue Andrew Breitbart.

No lawyer with half a brain – or working on a contingency basis – will take the case.

Why?

Well, a week later Chris Matthews figures it out.

The Newsbusters transcript:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Well, there you go. "I opened my eyes. I realized it wasn't about black and white. It was, but it was about other things, about poverty." So, Joan, that part, that part in there about redemptive revelation was actually in the initial tape.

JOAN WALSH, SALON: Chris, that little snippet was. But it ends with, "I took him to one of his own." What she goes on to say is one of his own didn't help him. He came back to her. She wound up helping him. She saved his farm. And then she goes on to tell this story, which is a story that I've told and to some extent Governor Dean has told it, too, about the way black and white people in the south were pitted against each other and they were always taught to fight one another when they really had more in common. She goes on to say repeatedly it's about poverty. It's about haves versus have-nots.

MATTHEWS: Yeah, but why do you think if this was a complete slime job, why do you think Breitbart kept that in there, Governor? Why did he keep in that part - let me let the Governor in here. Why did he put the redemptive part in here at all?

Dean’s response is typical and repetitive of what happened when he appeared on “Fox News Sunday.” He doesn’t know the facts, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and he’s not a responsible or credible individual.
