Media descends on Wasilla in hot pursuit of latest nutroots smear
hotair.com ^ | September 6, 2008 | Allahpundit

A follow-up to Ed’s post last night about the Enquirer’s allegation of an affair, which metastasized via our privacy-defendin’ progressive superiors into the charge that the smoking gun lay buried in the divorce papers of Todd Palin’s former business partner, Scott Richter. Why else, after all, would Richter seek an emergency order to seal those records?

Answer: Because he’s tired of him and his kid being harassed by press vultures and nutroots cranks.

The liberal blogosphere was abuzz Friday with news that a friend of Sarah and Todd Palin had tried to seal his divorce records…

[A] stream of journalists and couriers from NBC, the Los Angeles Times, Court TV and other outlets (including this reporter, presently serving as Politico’s Alaska bureau) [made] their way to the Palmer courthouse to photocopy, at 25 cents a page, the 75 or so pages in the Richters’ marriage dissolution file.

Hence, Scott Richter’s motion this week to seal the file, in which he wrote, “I am friends an [sic] landowners in a remote cabin property with [the Palins] and as her campaign moves forward, my phone #’s and addresses are being used thru this file to obtain unwanted contact daily. My cabin life and private life is extremely important to me and my young son, who find ourselves and our lives disrupted by such contact.”…

Those who couldn’t make it to the Palmer courthouse in person were out of luck for much of Friday, since the court’s website crashed from all the traffic directed to it by a link on Andrew Sullivan’s blog.

If I were a citizen of Wasilla as soon as the reporters arrived the town would turn into Dodge City just before a gun battle....not a human in sight.

Yeah, they're hypocrites. The MSM wouldn't lay a glove on John Edwards yet they're trawling court records in Alaska for dirt on Sarah!

I agree with Ace. Andrew Sullivan will not be at the Atlantic at the end of September. He’s a disgrace.

I’m already hearing that Wasilla is bringing in more revenue from this than Denver brought in with their ‘RAT coronation. Sarah Palin is helping the people of Wasilla and she isn’t even their mayor anymore. Ya gotta love it.

Glad to see the LA Times speed to research this, given their past performance on the hair guy. Remember?

Turnabout is fair and I recommend a team of investigators doing an anal exam of the Muslim Messiah and his America-hating wife’s background back to their births and extend it to include their families. We can consider this war for our survival.

hundreds of thousands, if not millions, being spent to find something, anything that will stick..

the fact that they’ve now had over a week are are shooting blanks leads me to believe that it’s money wasted..

I'm amused at the MSM lowering themselves to tabloid status. They're not even hiding their bias anymore!

Obama’s close working relationship with the Marxist terrorist Ayers should be big news. That’s a real scandal! The Lieberal media has no journalistic integrity. It’s one big DNC propaganda machine.

Yep. The MSM/Drivebys have been exposed for who they really are: DNC pressitutes.
