Anchorage resident and part-time Kindergarten teacher, Jesse Griffin, called “Gryphen” at his blog Immoral Majority is the “source” Dennis Zaki cited in his “news” article stating that that Sarah and Todd Palin were going to divorce.
Palin’s attorney, Thomas Van Flein, sent a letter to Griffin warning him to retract his story and apologize or expect legal action.
Robert Stacey McCain has info here and here. Also check out Dan Riehl’s post for more info as well.

To those of us who blog there’s a lesson here whether we are conservative, liberal or someplace in between… we can’t just write whatever we want and make up stuff and not expect to reap consequences. It is easy to hide behind anonymity and throw rocks.
