We think half of LSM will probably change sides in support of Sarah after reading Sarah's emails demonstrating her strong executive leadership skills or at least they will lose even more sleep realizing the false Sarah meme they crafted over the last 4 years just imploded!
Now that we know everything about every day/minute/second of Sarah's life – how about a so-called Crowd-Sourcing (LSM failed attempt to legitimize this activity) initiative to find out where Obama was for those 20 or so years where we know NOTHING about Obama or even where he was or who (non-radicals) can vouch for him!
http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/06/barracuda_…
The LSM is completely indifferent to the facts and only concerned with putting a Communist in power.
Here is a take on it from the other side of the pond: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tobyharnden/100…
"The trove of more than 13,000 emails detailing almost every aspect of Sarah Palin’s governorship of Alaska, released late on Friday, paints a picture of her as an idealistic, conscientious, humorous and humane woman slightly bemused by the world of politics."
Basically, she is everything that the propaganda organ of the DNC – that would be the main stream alphabet media – said she isn't.
Here is a link to an article at WND about CAIR's efforts to ban the book, the Muslim Mafia. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pag…
I got the following invitation in my email this AM. I never gave a Penny to BO, so they must have taken the list of Hillary’s donors.
“I wanted to pass along the following invitation for the luncheon with First Lady Michelle Obama on Thursday, June 30th at the home of Elaine and Gerald Schuster in Chestnut Hill. As a generous supporter of President Obama, I hope you will consider attending this special luncheon. This is the First Lady’s first visit back to Massachusetts since 2007 and we hope you will join us in celebrating her great work as First Lady. As you can see below, we are asking for a $5,000 contribution per person to attend and it does include a photo opportunity with Mrs. Obama. To join the Lunch Host Committee, we are asking for a commitment to raise $15,000 and a $35,800 raise/write for Co-Chairs.

if she runs..she will be the most vetted candidate in history…
I found this on the blaze (and of course we all know about the LSM going through Sarah's emails) and would normally just link to it, but this being hillbuzz I figured it deserved a full reposting.
Well, I tried to post the letter, but it's way too long for comments, so link is here:

Thanks, Brian, for the link to the Blaze article. Very nice. Passing it along.
Reagan wasn't as WORRIED about re-election as Obama is! With good reason… Besides, the MSM wouldn't have given a Reagan representative the time of day.
This seems absolutely absurd. I've never witnessed or been aware of any opposition party press person for either party using network/local affiliate tv to rebut the responses of debate participants. (Gibbs left as WH spox and is so enmeshed in BO's re-election effort that he can't possibly be considered as just any commentator.) Has anyone else observed such a ploy before? IMO, there should be a loud outcry against this; it appears to violate 'equal time' rules. After all, BO is apparently (so far) unopposed for the Obamacrat nomination, and if he remains unopposed, clearly there will be no primary debates on that side (unless, of course, BO goes completely schizo and winds up debating himself or his alter ego, Val Jarrett).
I knew it! I have predicted from the beginning that the only way Weiner could get himself out of the 24/7 news cycle would be to take the traditional liberal path of signing himself into rehab for "sex addiction." Not RESIGNING like a MAN would. But putting himself into a non-specific, generally ineffective "rehab program." And he doesn't even admit to "sex addiction." He's going into rehab to learn "how to be a better man and husband." Give me a freaking break! He needs a leave of absence to get MARRIAGE COUNSELING????? And when he comes back to his job in Congress, he'll go right back to the same disgusting behavior – except he'll be more careful next time. Of course, what do you expect from a person who would have Slick Willie perform his marriage ceremony?
This man, like all liberals, is a DISGUSTING whining weenie!
http://michellemalkin.com/2011/06/11/pelosi-wasse…
At the press conference, he was asked if he would seek outside help. He said that he didn't think so, but in the back of my mind, I knew that he would have to because this is the LIBERAL solution to all of these problems. It's been done by celebrities over the last few years. It's the "get out of responsibilities" card to play when they need to. You're right about the nature of his solution – marriage counseling. And you're also right in the outcome, which is no change because the heart of the problem is not lessons on how to be a decent, moral human being. He's a narccissist (I should have a macro programmed to spit this word out because we're seeing so many of these people…).
Isn't the Weiner diversion a way indirectly to attack Hillary Clinton?
The LaughingStock Media wants to create the news, rather than report it. Happy as their backfiring fishing expedition has been as distraction from watching the Weiner, I got to wondering where Sarah's educational tour has been. Is it over? Or did all the paparazzi get called back to go through the emails?
Here's what I found
Agree with you 100% JerseyGram! Eyes…very creepy.

“Diversity leads to better decisions” seems to be a self-defeating study to cite for somebody sitting on an all white, all female discussion panel.
ABC's This Week Round Table
What’s on my mind this Monday? Just a few pages I’ve been reading lately. Ho-hum. Crazy tin-foil hat stuff. Nothing to see here. Move along. Move along.
After all, readers here already understand How The Government is using the Constitution to Violate the Constitution, right? Your tax dollars at play.
And everybody is fine that, last year, Chinese and Mexican defense ministers held talks on military cooperation. That shouldn’t bother anybody, eh?
So, isn’t it nice that President Nixon’s Maoist friends from the East (you remember, the ones for whom he threw Taiwan out of the UN and under the bus?) — in the guise of one of their state-owned companies — are “interested in developing a 10,000- to 30,000-acre technology zone for industry, retail centers and homes south of the Boise Airport,” among other places in the USA. “Idaho’s the last state that should say we don’t want to do business with Asia,” said Lt. Gov. Brad Little. “Asia’s where the money is.”
Just why did Mr. Reagan think the Cold War was over and we could power down our military after the Soviet Union broke up? Oh yeah, because the Chinese are our BFFs!
Pay close heed to this one, ye who value freedom of the digital press! It might be a good thing that the USA is funding stealth Internets to circumvent repressive regimes, because we need to watch how they do it; we may need such “stealth Internets” ourselves all too soon, perhaps should start building them now, if the Bilderberger agenda and their puppets in Congress get their way (ref paragraphs 12-15 of this article for links), and there’s not going to be a freedom-loving foreign nation to help us. You may not always be able to keep the data chip away from the police state.
At least we can depend on our President (who is not a Muslim and not a Socialist, either) to protect us, right?
Okay, then, back to looking at pictures of sad little weiners.
I hope that he doesn't resign. I want him to be there to be a distraction. I want him to be a poster to the American people what is wrong with the members of the DNC. Perhaps TMI, but this is a guy who is consistent on which hand goes to his moral compass. He is obsessive, sick, and it's hard to believe that he can love his wife, considering how much he loves looking at himself.
I would not bet on a Weiner resignation. Look at what Ted Kennedy did back in 1968 (was it? before I was born). He never resigned. He was drunk. And a young woman was dead, under water, under a bridge. He went on to serve for what seemed like forever. So why should Weiner resign?
Because Weiner is NOT a Kennedy. Can't you just hear Lloyd Benson's voice now? "…I knew John [Bob/Ted] Kennedy. He was a friend of mine. You sir, are not a KENNEDY!" KENNEDY's got away with all kinds of crap mainly because…they were KENNEDYS and despite their erudite and elitist reputation and all that money, they dealt with a lot of tragedy, much of which happened in the service of their country. Perhaps if Weiner was married to one. But alas for him….NOT. He is done. Every time a woman congressman looks at him she's going to see him in [or out as the case may be] of his towel! NOT. GOING. TO. HAPPEN. There will be a revolt if he stays longer than this week. The ladies will march on the Speaker in a non-partisan mission to get rid of him. He went a creep too far.
It seems the only person who doesn't know The Weiner is roasted is The Weiner:

Gibbs is a moron! Anyone who takes him serious is an idiot….
Ziegler: Palin can’t beat Obama ??????
Hi Bridget, just saw this. Suppose maybe this dude got a payoff? Do you or any Hillbuzzers (DC?) know anything about him?
http://hotair.com/archives/2011/06/13/ziegler-pal…
Sounds to me like John Ziegler [Who?] was not hired by the Palins despite his "most excellent" advice to "Todd and Sarah". Also sounds to me like this Ziegler person has another candidate in mind. Always the way of the campaign whores. They go from person to person for the money. They really don't care about the ideaology. It's about the money and the bragging rights. So, naturally they have to be right.
Legal Insurrection gives Ziegler a good smackdown
http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com/2011/06/pal…
Let Hitler remind us of the original truth about Palin, the Palin of 2008:
[youtube _Bwhpms_trw&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Bwhpms_trw&feature=related youtube]
Thanks for the retro instant classic
I reminds us how Sarah Palin almost single-handedly dragged RINO John McLame reluctant kicking and screaming carcass across the finish line in 2008 – IF ONLY – she had 2 more weeks – - IF ONLY – the Cocktail Party did not go into hibernation for last 6 weeks of the campaign – IF ONLY – Tammy Faye Boehner, Gucci Loafers Cantor, Paul Powerpoint Ryan, Willard Mittens Romney, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Mitch Daniels, Tim Pawlenty and INSERT RINO NAME HERE had done something ANYTHING to help – rather than pick up their cocktail coasters and go home until their "NEXT TURN" in 2012.
2008 was the first time in history where the VP candidate drove the momentum for an entire ticket and campaign – that is why all from both sides have tag-teamed on Sarah!
Sarah – btw – who will go down in the history books as the only public figure to have 24,000 emails dissected and to come out the other side even more popular and stronger
Think about it – Sarah's 24,000 emails – STILL STANDING STRONG and STRONGER THAN EVER
Rep. Weiner – ONE TWEET – Going, going gone…
RE: Ziegler
John Ziegler can take his phony, self-serving concern and shove it!!! http://sistertoldjah.com/archives/2011/06/13/john…
So, even if I weren’t already a Palin supporter, I’d want her in the race because I believe she has something of substance to offer the electorate, and I as a voter want that broad range of choices. (1)
No matter what the John Zieglers of the world say.
Ziegler? Riggghhhtht
And Michelle Antionette is beautiful
Mr. Hopey-Changey is elegant and eloquent (as Dr. Evil Krauthammer repeats daily)
Bring On Obama's EMAILS! EMAILS FROM BOTH OBAMAS – they may have forgotten to delete hers!
As I was cleaning out my emails a few minutes ago, it occurred to me that I would hate for anyone to see what is in my private emails. I mean, really….
Sarah is a far kinder and gentler and nobler person than me.
We don't see a problem here – after all these "Republicans" are the ones who agreed to attend the LSM/DNC sponsored debates in the first place – so we are supposed to be surprised they will have the White House mouthpiece on hand to tell the idiots watching how to interpret what they just watched? Shocking!!!
Puuuhhhleezzze! conservatives do not need to attend LSM PRIMARY DEBATES and conservatives who vote for conservatives do not watch CNN – so that only leaves the entire democratic party who have registered to vote in the primaries as "Republicans" again!
Next thing we know Dr Evil Krauthammer will declare the only candidates with a chance are all LIBERALS (1) Romney (2) Pawlenty and (3) Jon Huntsman -WHOOOPS he already did that
today!
The fact that the "Republican" debates are hosted by the LSM/Dem surrogates violates the "Equal time" rule even before the scripts are written and rehearsed by the participants
when will the dopey Cocktail party learn and change (rhetorical question)?
FYI
(Hat Tip to carbon_footprint's post over on Hot Air)
"American Way: Sarah Palin email frenzy backfires on her media antagonists"
"The trove of more than 13,000 emails detailing almost every aspect of Sarah Palin’s governorship of Alaska, released late on Friday, paints a picture of her as an idealistic, conscientious, humorous and humane woman slightly bemused by the world of politics.
One can only assume that the Left-leaning editors who dispatched teams of reporters to remote Juneau, the Alaskan capital, to pore over the emails in the hope of digging up a scandal are now viewing the result as a rather poor return on their considerable investment.
If anything, Mrs Palin seems likely to emerge from the scrutiny of the 24,000 pages, contained in six boxes and weighing 275 pounds, with her reputation considerably enhanced. As a blogger at Powerline noted, the whole saga might come to be viewed as “an embarrassment for legacy media”…..
Oh and here is the link to that article about Saint Sarah.

OBAMA HAS SOME 'SPLAININ' to do (a little spanglish before he leaves for Puerto Rico tonight) –
From the man who has never held a real job or earned an honest paycheck!
Obama Jokes at Jobs Council 'Shovel-Ready Was Not as Shovel-Ready as We Expected'
[youtube sVonk_OqEUU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVonk_OqEUU youtube]
Mr Hopey-Changey where are those shovel ready jobs?
Remember Obama telling all the construction cranes were dotting the sky?
Well, this must be his "Depends on what your definition of construction cranes dotting the sky is is"
He wasn't lying as he was speaking of China and Dubai!

Chicago readers, is this getting much local coverage? it certainly isn't at the national level…MSM too busy reading SP emails and defending AW, but this is alarming
Stories about violent "flash mobs" roaming Chicago's North Side neighborhoods have been in the news the past 2 weeks. Please read the full article, with more economic problems impacting the US, this can spread http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/06/chicagos_v…
News of his underwhelming presence in FL. He said that "our work is not done." Of course you chump! We still have a pulse. Once that is gone, you can say "mission accomplished!" Man, I cannot stand this nitwit! I still do not know how he is still the potus.
