Page "Deborah Lipstadt" Paragraph 5

Norman G. Finkelstein openly criticized Lipstadt for her role in the Irving trial, stating " Her lawyers imposed a gag rule on Deborah Lipstadt during her trial with David Irving-she was banned not only from testifying in court but also speaking to the press-because they knew full well that a single word from this know-nothing's mouth would sink the ship.

In her account of the trial Lipstadt can barely conceal the lawyer's contempt for her, yet she is too thick-headed to notice the absurdity of her smug two thumbs-up after the jury announced its verdict.

She had as much to do with the victory as I did with last night's performance of the Bolshoi.
