In his first formal public appearance since being arrested on rape charges, Julian Assange told reporters that he planned to sue the Guardian--for libel!--over a book two of their writers published.

There are a lot of things you can say about this, like "If you can't take the heat..." or "Beware when you spit in the wind, because the wind blows it back," or probably most accurately, borrowing a phrase from Tennessee Williams, "I pitch, I don't catch."

Yes but Assange is an ordinary citizen, not a government entity that is feeding constant lies to the very people that voted them in. Assange has a right to set the record straight if people are making stuff up about him, just like any regular person should. Go fuck yourself you republican scumbag.
