Wingnuts Don't Act with Malice, Just Don't Think (re: SAJAK)
"didn't act with malice; he just didn't think."----this is the most charitable meme wingnuts can ask for (such as Shrub with the havoc he wreaks). Wheel's being sued for a back injury. October, 2000, hmmm, perhaps Pat knew the fix was in so he was extra enthused. The Today Show gave the contestant the business this A.M., heavily hinting this was a frivolous lawsuit. (If this belongs in Lounge, just tracking the travails of wingnuts. I linked wingnutism for GD into this at every turn, haha.)

.... Sajak's midair bear hug that October 2000 night at Constitution Hall was edited out of the broadcast for television viewers at home, Wright says. But Wright remembers it well. This week, the 38-year-old puzzle-guessing champion from Lorton, Va., filed a $2 million lawsuit against the show's producers over the back injuries he says he suffered from Sajak's moment of unbridled enthusiasm.

"I stick out my hand thinking he's going to shake it," Wright recalls. "Instead he jumps onto me, with his legs and arms . . . All I remember thinking was: 'This is Pat Sajak. Don't drop Pat Sajak.' " ....


Wright said Sajak "didn't act with malice; he just didn't think." In his legal papers, Wright's lawyer accuses Sajak, as an agent of Sony, of "reckless disregard. . . . and reckless and negligent conduct."
