Palin is one of those people who cannot help putting herself front and centre, even when she doesn't want to. Which explains, perhaps, why a clutch of news organisations, including this one, have spent the weekend sifting through 24 199 pages of emails generated during 21 months of her governorship of Alaska, starting about a month into the job, in January 2007, and stretching until after her nomination as the number two on the Republican presidential ticket in the summer of 2008.
The emails were released on Friday in response to a series of open records requests first made at the time of her rise to international prominence. The thinking back then was they could illuminate her candidacy in the 2008 presidential race. Because of bureaucratic delays, protests from Palin herself while she was still in office, lawyers, the redacting of some emails and the suppression of others, that opportunity came and went.

The hope was that the documents could at least compete with the many eye-popping stories that have surfaced about Palin already:........

Like any other research materials, the emails provide depth and detail more than they make truly shocking revelations -- although the extent of Palin's efforts to build ties with BP are among several aspects of her governorship which merit further scrutiny. Still, some of them are vintage Sarah, full of "unflippinbelievable"s and "holy flippin A"s. They also provide plentiful raw meat for the voracious media machine that has been feasting on them.

The email dump has been many things: an irresistible window into the inner world of a prominent politician, an exercise in public voyeurism and something of an experiment in digital-age journalism. Could this also be the moment, though, when the great Sarah Palin beanfeast hits saturation point?
Funny, I’ve never seen an obie email dump....

According to liberals, the only reason there was no “gotcha” moments in the e-mails is that they redacted all the bad stuff out.
Oh, liberals also believe the media is now promoting Palin to be our next president.
Liberal lunacy -— almost better than morning sex.
Reader’s Digest version . . . We came up empty so we’re scrambling to put some sort of philosophical spin on things that puts Palin in the worst possible light.
Repeating all this bs one more time, until the next time...
The media made Obama famous while they made Palin infamous
Yeah! What about Kerry, Kennedy, Barney Frank (Ooooh, wait, never mind!)? I can think of a hundred pols who deserve to be "investigated" more than Palin.
The medi can portray WIKI-LEAKS as a public service and scream bloody murder when global warmists' emails are scrutinized!
No double standard here!
“Liberal lunacy -— almost better than morning sex”
Will have to ask Weiner about that.
Speaking of, I hear that the new term for sexting is now” pulling a Weiner”
My wife text-messaged me yesterday and started with "Hi Sexy...".
I replied back with: "Are you Anthony Weiner?"
snicker
Too stupid to see the forest for the trees.
You’d think this wasn’t America after reading such hate for a conservative woman candidate, wouldn’t you?
The onslaught (media hounding) would lead some to think Sarah Palin has no right being in politics, wouldn’t it?
You’d conclude that the msm believes they will choose the GOP ticket, wouldn’t you?

Too late for that. Every time the MSM is forced to say "former Governor" Sarah Palin the jig is up. (snicker)

I wouldn't conclude that, but the MSM sure as hell does.
“...the redacting of some emails and the suppression of others,...”
The above is an outright lie. See MANY other threads for the ABC (and they don’t like SP) saying Palin’s lawyers didn’ ask for redaction or omission of ANY emails.
LIAR!!!! (fsck’in Brits)
Usually these sorts of things are released posthumously

There are 2 other private e-mail accounts she used that have been withheld fromn the Public. This is not over yet at all until they release these 2700 other protected e-mails. So the the article was not a lie.
The state of Alaska made a huge mistake releasing these documents in the summer. They should have waited until January and made these reporters come and pick them up when it was -40 degrees. That would have been justice for this witch hunt.
The lamestream media is hoping to “bury” her in innuendo and lies.
