Remember Rhonda Miller? The lady who accused Arnold of groping just before the recall election, and who was momentarily confused with a prosititute of the same name? She sued Schwarzenegger over an email from his campaign that had the confused information in it, claiming that she was a private person, libeled out of the blue by a mean-spirited politician.
Well, as expected, a judge ruled Friday that, due to her high-profile comments during an election campaign, she was momentarily a public figure and as such must tolerate a certain level of abuse. Something about kitchens and heat.
This is of some note, as several bloggers in CA posted the allegedly incorrect information and were searched for the term Rhonda Miller fairly often back then. It sure did look for a moment that Miller and her attorney, Gloria Allred, might decide to sue anyone who communicated the error. Doesn't look like that's going to happen now.
