47. I'm not so sure.

The libel bar is set pretty darn high for public figures to begin with. Here we are in the throws of a political campaign when propaganda proliferates - there are all sorts of crazy videos out there.

Besides, is there not (at least) a plausible deniability defense? I've listened to the clip several times and i'm still not totally convinced Kantor did not use the "shit" reference about Indianans.
