Is Nadine Dorries being foolish in suing over smeargate emails?

Is Nadine Dorries being foolish in suing over smeargate emails?



Iain Dale is masturbating at the thought of Nadine Dorries taking legal action.

I have a sneaky suspicion that Nadine Dorries is rattling her cage about suing over the smeargate emails. This is not about going to court. Rather this is about seeking an out of court settlement. As one commenter has observed: "Nadine, its patently obvious you're milking this for all its worth, grow up or get out". It sounds like good advice to me. I am reminded about the cartoon which shows two farmers in dispute over a cow, one pulls the cow's tail whilst the other pulls the cow's head, meanwhile a lawyer is underneath milking the cow's udders for all it's worth! If she does succeed in making money out of this, I hope she has the good sense to take a leaf out of Jack Knight's book and donate the proceeds to charity? Perhaps, one that seeks a cure for multiple sclerosis might be a good idea? The Daily Mail exposed how Nadine Dorries dumped her husband who has MS to become a MP.

Perhaps, she should read The lying lies and dirty secrets of Ms Nadine Dorries MP because she does not come across as whiter than white in this post and she may have to show in court in what way her reputation has been damaged by the smears.

The funniest thing about all of this was the interview with Gordon Brown shown on Have I Got News For You. He said he takes full responsibility for it, and the person responsible for it [Damian McBride] has gone.

The problem with Nadine Dorries not apologising when she is in the wrong herself, and then demanding an apology when she has been wronged and upon receiving it saying it is not enough, if the Tories get into power at the next General Election and she retains her seat and if and when something goes wrong she may well find that her simply offering an apology will not suffice.

Three things sprung to mind when I heard this story.
Firstly, Ms Dorries is looking at a nice out of court settlement rather than actually going to court.
Secondly, an opportunity for the Conservatives to keep this simmering away in the Public's view.
Finally, McBride's e-mails obviously had the boomerang virus!
