Could Palin’s email dump have been a Left-wing media strategy to divert attention from bad news for the Dems?

Gov. Palin in her office.

Okay. I think I’ve finally figured this out. The recent release of Sarah Palin’s emails from her tenure as governor of Alaska is a strategy initiated by the Left-leaning media – see David Corn, Mother Jones, et al – on behalf of the struggling Obama campaign to divert attention from the economy, Anthony Weiner, etc.

The media’s frenzied examination of Palin’s emails has not revealed any scandals and in fact has so far shown her to be an effective state leader. This is proving frustrating to media types like Politico’s Molly Ball who, although – as Rev.  Amy points out – she acknowledges that Palin emerges from her emails as a “popular, charismatic competent woman of the people,”  feels driven to smear her anyway.

In the meantime, the media looks like a bunch of fools, and Rep. Weiner is right to be seeking treatment; you don’t need to be a licensed psychiatrist to realize the man is very, very sick.

And if Democratic Party leaders have not yet repented for their treatment of Hillary Clinton in 08, they might want to do so at this juncture as they witness their one-time haloed candidate, Barack Obama, falter on his way to re-election.

Plus, we need to remind ourselves that it’s the droves of U.S. unemployed who are suffering the most for the travesty of justice the Democratic primary of 08 continues to symbolize.

  1. I hadn't actually thought of that. But it makes total sense, now that you mention it.

    Oi.

  2. Well, SYD,

    What else could be behind all of this energy in trying to find something on Sarah Palin, a woman the media repeatedly claims will not be the Republican candidate in 2012? It makes no sense.

  3. You are correct. No sense at all.

    And if they are poring over Palin's e-mails, the "lame stream" media will have an excuse to spend less time poring over Weiners.

    These people are crazy!
