Michelle McDonald, how could anyone defame her? NOTE: That is opinion, not a representation of fact.

It reminds of a City of Ramsey past single term council member suing another past councilmember, since deceased, for defamation, where I am told one Ramsey resident said, "How could anyone defame her?" Read about the McDonald thing - suing Michael Brodkorb, Minnesota Lawyer.

Additional McDonald photos, here.

The Brodkorb site:

http://missinginminnesota.com/

has a post from October of this year. Next to an alleged "booking photo" of McDonald to which McDonald objects, Brodkorb links to the lawsuit complaint. That complaint is 28 pleading pages, with the remainder of the 53 pages being attachments. One is reminded of the saying, "Brevity is wit."

Another Brodkorb Oct. 2018 post cites coverage of McDonald by Strib. A third Oct. 2018 Brodkorb post asserts McDonald misstated the extent of knowledge she had about missing persons, as well as touting a soon-to-be-released book Brodkorb authored about the saga.

Dede Evavold puts out a "Red Herring Alert" over McDonald stuff. Does that name ring a Brodkorb bell? Ya betcha.

That last paragraph matters because of other Ms. DE posting, i.e., here, containing this quite ominous threat-or-promise screen capture, original sourcing by DE of the DW thing not stated:

OMG! "We are just getting started"? He is not royalty, nor pregnant, so either he has a tapeworm in using "we" or it is him and the ADF, which is the cringe and shudder part of the caption. Can't he just do a McArthur - fade away - for the benefit of all humankind? Move to Yellowstone and harass the bison herds? One bull, One cow, forever. Anything but "just getting started." We need that, don't we, after dis-electing him as a clear and present danger, or as Timmer once phrased it, "a pestilential little shit"? Make that "aptly phrased it." [UPDATE: YouTube proof of "aptly."]

But I digress. In mentioning Timmer, however, to get back on topic, there is this about that.

In closing, yes, somewhere along the line it was discovered as "MacDonald" and not "McDonald", but if anyone deserves mispelling of a name, it is her; or Doug Wadlow. End of story.

FURTHER: Wholly unrelated, Otto the Orkin Man. Old timers may remember.

FURTHER: NYT here, near the end, a map and by-county breakdown of the AG voting in Minnesota. SAME LINK, for access to other contest red/blue mapping. Why Strib or PiPress could not have carried that item is unclear. Perhaps one did, and I missed it. At any rate the NYT mapping is interesting. HERE for seeing how Duluth and the Arrowhead kept the faith, while the farmers having their soybean prices tanking voted Stauber.
