Talk about your frivolous lawsuits! Model Liskula Cohen wants Google to reveal the name of the owner of a blog that makes derogatory comments about her, and is suing Google due to their refusal to concede. She commented, "It's petty, it's stupid and it's pathetic. And when I do find out who did this, at least I'll know who my enemies are." Wow, is that the pot calling the kettle black, or what? And someone making fun of her is an "enemy"? Is this chick, like, six years old? She's a public figure (although I hadn't heard of her prior to this), the blog isn't saying anything libelous, and the author has the right to remain anonymous on the Internet. Not to mention that the blog in question hasn't even been updated since August. Why would she think she has a case? Stop reinforcing stereotypes about blondes and models, Liskula!

Incidentally, I couldn't find the name "Liskula" on Behind the Name, but there WAS an early twentieth century Polish Army officer named Leopold Lis-Kula. Maybe the model was named in his honor. Also,

bethje tells me that Bill O'Reilly reported on this story, and actually thought Ms. Cohen had a legitimate case. Personally, I think Andrea Mackris had a MUCH better one. ;)
