Yippie : Former Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod announced Thursday that she intends to sue Andrew Breitbart for posting a misleading video of Sherrod that ended up costing her job. Sherrod made the announcement at the National Association of Black Journalists conference in San Diego. “I will definitely do it,” she said.

The Daily Caller released a new JournoList scoop today, and this one’s a doozy.
