Anthony Weiner may not be the only politician whose electronic shortcomings could derail his career. The State of Alaska has released 24,000 pages of emails by then-governor Sarah Palin pursuant to a FOIA request. The emails cover all sorts of Palin controversies like Troopergate, Travel Expense-gate, and even the flurry of activity surrounding her eventual selection as John McCain’s running mate. One email details Palin’s frustration with questions from reporters about whether she believes humans and dinosaurs co-existed.
There’s even praise for an unlikely recipient – President Obama. Palin praises a speech on energy policy made by then-presidential candidate Barack Obama, asking her aides to write a statement “saying he’s right on”.
Some of the emails show a contrast from the public persona carefully crafted of a down-to-earth everymom. In one email, Governor Palin moves to link a defeated political opponent, Frank Murkowski, to Bill Allen, who was indicted in a scandalous bribery case.
“FYI — I’ve asked Frank Bailey to help me track down soem [sic] evidence of past administration’s dealing with Bill Allen,” Palin wrote on May 8, 2007, a day after Allen pleaded guilty to bribery, extortion and conspiracy.
About 2300 pages have not yet been released pending legal review and redaction. That’s where the rubber usually meets the road. More to come? You betcha’.

No, they are real guests, but if you want to play with your Palin blow up dolls you knock yourself out, sport. They are just as good as the real thing, you know. Plastic and full of hot air. The big advantage is that the dolls don’t talk either before or afterward from what I’ve been told, but they might make an exception in your case. Just to giggle and point if nothing else.
Are these real guests or blow-up Palin dolls with the eyes carved out arranged around the table for tea time with you yelling “stop staring at me!!!!”?
No. The “patient” is cooking for dinner guests in between showing that your goal is distraction from your object of affection: Caribou Barbie. Shortly, I will be seeing my guests and serving them dinner, and afterwards I shall probably drink some beer.
As to Palin?
I don’t really care about the e-mails until the produce something of value to use against her.
I do care about, however, pointing out to others that here – like in the Revere thread – you are all about distraction.
Like a good Lil’ Propagandist.
4 1/2 tantrum = 4 1/2 hour tantrum
The patient appears to be resting now, much like a toddler after a tantrum. In this case a 4 1/2 tantrum. Let’s let it rest.
That’s almost it. Dead ringer if the chimp was throwing feces.
kderosa:
enraged and highly charged state? do you mean like this:
The last thread was about Paul Revere and you were talking more about Nazi propganda and the FRE.
So, tell me what did all those Palin emails reveal?
“Researcher’s notes (cont’d): The victim continues in it’s enraged, highly-provoked state. It continues to be fixated on ‘Palin.'”
The title of this thread is “The Palin Chronicles”.
What I am is showing that you two have an agenda of changing the subject and/or attacking me instead of addressing the topic of this thread.
That the topic of this thread is Sarah Palin is incidental.
Alaska! Where women pols are barracudas and moose are nervous!
Anyone want to talk about Palin’s abuses while in office?
That she promotes abstinence but can’t even get her own daughter to keep her pants on until the age of majority?
Anyone?
Experiment 8c-564-t43
Researcher’s notes (cont’d): The victim continues in it’s enraged, highly-provoked state. It continues to be fixated on “Palin.” It is trying to cajole this reseacher into discussing Plain by stating “I’d really like to talk about Palin” and repeating phrases it has heard this past week, like “substantive argument.” Unfortunately, the victim was unable to form a substantive argument at all this past week so it seems to saying the words phonetically without any real understanding. The victim’s derangement has now metestacized and it now is referring to a shadowy “employer” figure. Must investigate further when the victim has calmed sown.
Only in the respect that I keep cracking your nuts.
Perhaps I should have been clearer: I’m from an opposable thumb wielding, tool using, reasoning species.
You should really try to stick to your own kind, “Roco”. But be careful! Some reptiles are poisonous.
Same goes for you over in the mold family, Propaganda Troll.
I cant speak for kderosa, but I personally am not into inter-species relationships.
Buddha is Laughing:
so you are a chimpanzee?
Anyone want to talk about Palin?
About how she’s a quitter?
Or perhaps that she used her power of office as Governor of Alaska to carry out petty personal vendettas?
Her inability to speak longer then five minutes without putting her feet in her mouth?
Anyone?
kderosa:
sometimes I am a little precocious. Apologies for setting your research back.
Sad.
You have an assistant? You have help to churn out the tripe you produce? That you both suck at your jobs as propagandists says more about your employer’s hiring practices than it does about you. Really, it does. He must be some kind of huge dildo that’s all agenda and no brains like Andy Breitbart or Dick Armey or the Kochs.
Still nothing to say about Palin?
No?
How about your assistant?
I’d really like to talk about Palin, but if you boys are so enamored that you want to keep talking about me as a way to distract away from the topic of this thread, I’ll be glad to keep reminding people that distraction is your goal. And it will only end in heartbreak for you two. I’m not your type. I’m from a thumb wielding, tool using, reasoning species. We’re so different that it would never work out.
Experiment 8c-564-t43 — failure
Researcher’s Notes: Appealing to the creature’s overblown vanity and sense of self appeared to be working swimmingly. Then my faithful assistant inadvertently provoked the beast, sending it into a blind rage once again, as it regresses to its favored “propaganda troll” meme. Must wait until the beast returns to a more sedate state before resuming experiments. Note. Place ad for new assistant asap.
“Roco”,
While it is true that I can be vicious (and I’ve stipulated as much many times in the past), pardon me if I laugh at anything a sociopath says. Say! How’s that pimping for the Austrian School of Fascist Greed working out for you on that other thread? Not getting any takers, huh?
Do you have anything substantive to say? Or are you just going to attack me too? Those were both rhetorical questions. We all know you two clowns are going to keep trying to make this about me because you’re both abject failures at your rather obvious goals here.
Anything to say about Palin? Anyone?
Didn’t think so.
