Talk:Sam Donaldson

The link at the Notable Names Database is openly satirical, and I'm not sure it should be included, especially if it is to be included as a citable source about who Sam Donaldson really is. --Pathogen 23:37, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

and

why does the president (small p) of the United States refer to Sam as a has been

I believe that Mr. Donaldson may have a legal case against George Bush for publicly addressing him as a "has been". Webster's defines Slander as " Spoken falsehood harmful to another." I am aware that they were in Washington D.C. but, California law states: Slander is a false and unprivileged publication, orally uttered, and also communications by radio or any mechanical or other means which:

1.Charges any person with crime, or with having been indicted, convicted, or punished for crime;

2.Imputes in him the present existence of an infectious, contagious, or loathsome disease;

3.Tends directly to injure him in respect to his office, profession, trade or business, either by imputing to him general disqualification in those respects which the office or other occupation peculiarly requires, or by imputing something with reference to his office, profession, trade, or business that has a natural tendency to lessen its profits;

4.Imputes to him impotence or a want of chasity; or

5.Which, by natural consequence, causes actual damage.

Mr. Donaldson could argue that his professional career was damaged by the inconsiderate remarks made by George Bush.
