The Media Palin-hunting-expedition were fed 24,000 pages of email yesterday in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from several media outlets. So the journalistic numbnuts descended on Alaska yesterday. The Washington Post<\/a> has farmed out their research to their readership to plow through the emails for dirt on the former governor. Thus far, they’ve only found stuff that most of us already knew;<\/p>\n

Palin felt passionately about issues of importance to her state, the documents show, and she waged battle with foes large and small. That included detractors on obscure government commissions as well as multinational conglomerates seeking access to Alaska\u2019s vast oil and gas reserves. She twice refers to one major oil executive with a derogatory nickname and complains that phone calls with him did not go well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You know what? I’d have more respect for the Post and whoever else took part in that FOIA if they’d been this tenacious and inquisitive with Barack Obama during the campaign for the 2008 election. I don’t remember any major media outlet asking even the most basic of questions about his tenure in the Illinois State Legislature. No one was asking what qualified him to be President…and we’re paying for that lack of journalistic curiosity now. And Sarah Palin isn’t even a candidate for the 2012 election yet.<\/p>\n

I interpret this quixotic enterprise to be an indicator of how the Left, in general, and the Washington elitists, in particular, fear a Palin candidacy without the McCain albatross around her neck. I’m pretty sure that they know that Palin’s name next to Obama’s on the ballot is an easy choice for 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
