Think you know everything there is to know about former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin? Think again.
Since 2008, Mother Jones‘ David Corn has been actively petitioning for access to and public release of Palin’s e-mails. Following in the footsteps of Corn’s initial request, other media outlets subsequently began formally asking the Alaska government to release the e-mails Palin sent during her term. Mediaite sheds additional light on the scenario:
The state of Alaska initially told Corn that they had located 26,552 pages of emails, but are redacting 2,353 pages for unspecified reasons. Along these same lines, Palin apparently also used a personal email address for some of her official correspondence, and while the Alaskan government recovered some of these by looking through the official inboxes of some top officials, it’s possible that some communication was done among Palin’s personal account and the personal accounts of other State officials.In sum, 24,199 pages will be presented for public viewing. In fact, Yahoo! reports that “Mother Jones, MSNBC.com and ProPublica“ are preparing to make the documents available for mass consumption ”in a searchable archive.”
In an op-ed for the Anchorage Daily News piece, Paul Jenkins writes that the e-mails may paint Palin in a very negative light:
The emails are going to be — if released in readable form after passing through lawyers‘ hands and being scrubbed by the governor’s office — delicious. There likely will be little good news in them for her. Having read only snippets of emails in Palin staffer Frank Bailey’s book, “Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin,“ or ”Hey, I Got Emails Nobody Else Can Get and I Can Make Some Dough,” the venom, bullying, intimidation, absolute paranoia and craziness of the Palin administration spins off the pages.What do you think about this? Should Palin’s e-mails be released by major media outlets in a “searchable database?” Once public, the media will surely find appealing tidbits to feature and focus upon for some time to come.

Wish the same zeal would pursue the college records / papers, passport & travel records of Obama.
Ezek…For sure!!! The media will not, nor even consider looking at Obozo, our Liar in Chief's phony
Birth certificate!!!…How about the Conneticut SSN? Blind eye turned on Obozo…but then they WILL be punished if they report anything negative about him…Freedom of the press gone too? or just a loss of true jpurnalism?? Enough court cases, I do believe TRUTH will out in the end, and find he is NOT qualified to be there!!! I believe the Kenya Birth Certificate IS the TRUTH!!…but NEVER expect truth form Obozo….They say Truth is sacred…and Obozo has nothing to do with the sacred!!
I only wish the "media" was as curious about the e-mail and other information surrounding one Mr.Obama. He seemed always connected to his Blackberry during his campaign and the run-up. Since we are not entitled to his SATs or any other record connected to him I think Ms.Palin should be allowed her privacy as well.
Once again the double standard with the media is astounding. Their blind hatred of this woman is what drives them and their allegiance to "the One" is what makes them a joke. They have ignored the Big Scandal..the biggest in the history of the world…a Usurper has gained control of the highest office in the land of the most powerful country and is bit by bit, bringing America to her knees. It is time to get this traitor and fraud out of the White House AND those to SCOTUS' justices he has appointed.
"two" Scotus Justices.."w" didn't pring
I no longer have ANY respect for the "MSM" or the people who work there.
Fine with me, as long as all of Obama's e-mails, school records, and all other "public records" concerning the Liar, Fraud, and Usurper Obama are made accessible as well.
Looking at her picture, it's obvious she checked Trump out and is describing him.
I think she is describing the Congressman from N.Y. Anthony Whatsisname.
Oh, he wishes he was an "Oscar Meyer"
I realize now it's WEINER she's describing with her left hand. She apparently got the picture of himself that he was sending around.
If they want to see all of Palin's emails we want to see all the emails of every liberal in our government including Obama's!
These people should try masturbation if they can't find anything else that's more productive to do. Maybe we should start tearing apart Mother Jones and see what they are up to. Maybe a better pursuit would be to route out the sources of fraud going on in the Whitehouse.
If you have nowhere else to go than the two parties then why are you voting?
Both parties allow Islamists to inter by the half million and growing a year.
Both parties allow Latinos to inter by the millions a year.
Both parties allow a million more from other nations.
That’s at least three million new comers a year folks. US citizens have had a zero population growth for decades yet we swelled from 274 million to 312 million in eight short years!
Both parties allow the very real overpopulation threat.
Both parties allow the death of the American culture and view it as the death of racism.
Both parties allow the global warning myth to live on.
Both parties allow Judeo-Christian values to be stripped from governing bodies.
Both parties allow the creeping police state.
Replace the parties with citizens that can be immediately removed by citizens and never serve for a life time. We must take control ourselves.
