Best line I've read on this spectacle. Pretty much sum up the current state of the Lamestream.

Could they be more pitiful? The liberal media are literally dumpster-diving Sarah Palin now — combing through 24,000 pages of Palin’s e-mails during her time as governor, including from her Yahoo e-mail account.
It’s not just the American press gallery. Leftist media like the New York Times and Washington Post have flown reporters to Juneau, the capital of Alaska, to sift through the e-mails, like breathless schoolchildren reading from the private diary of the girl they really hate.
And let me tell you: It’s juicy.
Even the Guardian — a newspaper from London, England, put four reporters on the file, including flying two to Alaska.
This is the Media Party.
Real reporters don’t ask thousands of people — around the world — to dig up opposition research about a political enemy. But these aren’t real reporters. They’re gossips, they’re obsessed, they’re partisan.
And they’re a little bit deranged about her.
But their massive investment in this story paid off!
Here is what they found.
In an e-mail about an Alaskan political opponent, Palin wrote — in a private e-mail she surely never suspected would be published around the world — “What a goof he is ... truly annoying.”
Are you not scandalized?
She used the g-word!
In 24,000 e-mails, that’s what they found. Oh, she also says things like “holy moly.” She doesn’t swear, but she comes pretty close. She wrote “holy flippin crap” once.
Could you imagine if 24,000 e-mails you sent — from your work account, your home account, your BlackBerry were sifted through by the general public? What would they find if they sifted through 24,000 things you said?
The most amazing thing about these e-mails is Sarah Palin had the legal right to block anything that was of a personal nature. But she chose not to block a single e-mail — not one. That kind of transparency is unheard of in politics — in life in general.
We know far more about Sarah Palin, who holds no public office, than we do about U.S. President Barack Obama.
We know more about Palin’s daughter and about her daughter’s ex-boyfriend Levi Johnston, than we know about Obama’s family.
Where are Obama’s e-mails? Where were the four Guardian reporters dispatched to dig through his records?
The media positively engages in a coverup for him.
Take the Los Angeles Times. During the 2008 presidential election, the Times had a videotape of a 2003 party in Chicago where Barack Obama praised the guest of honour, a man named Rashid Khalidi, the former spokesman for the terrorist Yasser Arafat.
At that party, Israel was condemned as a terrorist state.
The L.A. Times has the whole evening on videotape. But they refused to release it during the 2008 election — or ever since.
So a videotape of man who was campaigning to be the president, praising a former PLO spokesman, was deemed not newsworthy — and in fact the L.A. Times suppressed it from anyone else.
But 24,000 e-mails from a former governor is the subject of a media frenzy.
The Media Party has a case of Palin Derangement Syndrome. They hate her more than they hated Osama bin Laden. They scrutinize her more than they’ve scrutinized their own Manchurian President.
They’re trying to destroy her. Funny — they keep making her stronger.
Best line I've read on this spectacle. Pretty much sum up the current state of the Lamestream.
Wow, just WOW, maybe there is hope! (Real hope, not hopey changey servitude "hope.")
Is that Hillary?
You're confusing The Sun with the commie Toronto Star.
The Sun is part of the group that recently launched Sun Network News, Canada's conservative news channel.
Ezra, you nailed it!
Yup, you’re right. My bad...
She is our Deborah. Enough said.
Has he ever had a ‘real’ job. Anything? Ever?
That is what they are really looking for...
This indeed should be a huge embarrassment for them, but we would have assume the propagandists can at least feign rationality. The med.. er.. propaganda ministry`s obsessive, rabid hatred of anyone to the political right of their One forecloses the possibility of that rational line of thinking.
In pawing through the emails, the propagandists have done the polar opposite of what they intended. Instead of destroying Palin and her family for all time, they`ve given her a major political boost. If she makes it to the big dance vs. Obama, I eagerly look forward to her doggedly challenging the props to conduct a similar review of his background.
If the props continue to dismiss her as an irrelevant idiot, they`d best be ready to answer the question as to how this “idiot” played them so masterfully... in ways they`ve never been played before.
It’s curious how the Juneau folks played them all for fools. First, you had to pick up the six boxes of paper in person...not a DVD or on-line. Then, most of these guys went to a hotel...hooked up their scanner, and started to scan the documents to PDF them back to their newspaper headquarters. This took significant bandwidth and they got charged Alaska rates for that. Then the guys paid for several days of fancy hotels and big SUVs in Alaska. The flights from Washington DC to Juneau? Probably over $1500 for a round-trip ticket.
All in all...it was a total loss on media investment.
So which media do you believe, WaPo, NYT or National Enquirer? Well, National Enquirer gets it right some of the time and doesn’t try to make themselves part of the story.
“Sarah you magnificent bastard” (Patton)
“(Sarah) you magnificent bastard” (Patton)
Alaska to the media: Wait a minute...we gave you the wrong emails. We gave you the good ones, not the bad ones. Come back again to get the bad ones about her. But please don’t read the comic strip “Peanuts” in the paper before coming.
Rick Perry, if he runs, is Sarah’s only obstacle.
PALIN/West 2012
Bolton SoS
bar fly randi rhodes and wife beater ed schults epitomize pitiful. Hate filled, ignorant people with an agenda of turning America into a marxist state.
They are scared of Sarah. Will do all to tear Her down.
You GO Girl
Gimme a break. The next time you see Perry draw 30,000 people to watch him speak in Nevada and Kentucky, let me know. Until then, he's just another "Yeah! Throw him on the wall, let's see if he sticks..." flailing in the dark for the mentally infirm "Anyone But Palin" brian-bleeders.
;-\
Yea, Journey was a very good, albeit slickly produced, rock group with a great and underrated drummer. But I digress...
Sarah is THE ONE for me but I stand behind my statement that Perry be an obstacle - much more so than the “front runner” Mittens.
Perry is the GOP elitists last chance to stop Sarah...and to deny that threat is to deny reality.
