Barry slugs the little guy

Why does this remind me of Frank D'Angelo and Neate Sager?
And why does Barry care?

Barry Bonds has reportedly hired legal council to aggressively pursue those who make false statements about his alleged steroid use and tax evasion...Bonds has hired attorneys John Burris and Todd Schneider to defend him against false statements made by private citizens. According to Burris, Bonds does not intend to go after media publications or stymie free speech, rather he wants to stop those who might think they know something from telling a false story.

I'm interested in seeing what a false statement might be. After all, it isn't libel if it's true.

I can't help but be reminded of the scene in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, where Jimmy Stewart's character starts punching all of the press guys in the face after seeing the negative stories they wrote about him.

I think I am justified in calling him a jerk, since that isn't a false statement.

Barry Bonds bakes his steroids into tuna casseroles that he eats naked in the bathtub.

How long 'til I get sued?

Bonds all but admitted taking the cream, he just said he did not know what it was. So He took steroids, but was too stupid to tell the difference between it and Flax seed oil. Stupid and a jackass!
