Whatever the merits (or lack thereof) of the statements that Parker is alleged to have made about Sharpe, the case will almost certainly be dismissed. Sharpe is a public figure, and it is nearly impossible for a public figure to win a case based upon an alleged libel or slander.
BTW, Rock, it's been charged (by no less than Erik Engquist) that relatives of one close Sharpe associate received payments from Noach (or should I say Noah?) Dear for services rendered to his campaign, which would seem to have some relevance to the comments allegedly made by Senator Tyson (I mean, Parker). I'm not saying you had anything to do with your relatives' actions (Lord knows, even a figure as formidable as Lew Fidler can't control his own in-laws), but since I assume you speak to most of the members of your own family, perhaps you can contact them concerning this matter and then enlighten us on what they have to say about it.
