As brought to my attention first by The Turner Report, followed by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Republican Joe Brazil has filed a defamation suit against Jeff Roe.

Democrats, and Republicans who don’t like Jeff, are in a tough spot here. They’ll be tempted to gloat about the lawsuit, especially since it’s coming from a Republican. On the other hand, they know that making a big deal of the case would give Jeff and his website more attention. (The Democrats who used to hound Jeff in the comments section of his site seem to have gotten bored and moved on in the last month or so.)

A blogger getting sued? Who woulda thunk it? (see #10).

The general public obviously won’t care too much about this story, but Roe’s friends and foes will be watching very closely.
