The dig at the Senator from Missouri about knowing Midwest sports teams was pretty savage. Gotta respect it.

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

@aricohn.com does Smith have a legit chance for a defamation claim? 1. Reckless disregard for the truth. 2. False accusation of perjury in a public forum. 3. I sense some malice. Or is there something akin to litigation privilege here?

Thought it might be that. But he seemed to repeat the accusation of being at the Hawks game during several right wing shows that afternoon, even if he omitted the perjury accusation.
