Palin/Weiner: Of E-mails and Tweets

In my preparation for writing today’s blog, I read an article by The Washington Post, linked to on yahoo.com.  In it, two Post writers  (trying their best to be Woodward and Bernstein) were desperately looking for something, anything, among over 13,000 e-mails written to and from during by Sarah Palin during her time as Alaska Governor, that they could denigrate and humiliate her with.

These so-called reporters for the Washington Post, and all the other Liberal Democrat Party shills in the sycophantic Main Stream Media, haven’t found a blessed thing.

So, they’re trying to make something out of nothing. 

For instance, in a didactic tone, they relayed the contents of one of the e-mails, in the following manner:

Other e-mails make clear that Palin relied on her husband, Todd Palin, for advice on policy issues. In a March 2008 e-mail, for instance, the governor makes clear that he also weighed in on how to deal with Alaska’s burgeoning wolf population, a topic of debate at the time among officials and environmental experts.

The governor told her fish and game commissioner in blunt terms that she opposed using state helicopters to hunt wolves and preferred paying private hunters.

“We have to act quickly on this as predators are acting quickly and rural families face ridiculous situation of being forced to import more beef instead of feeding their families our healthy staple of alaskan game. Nonsense. Unacceptable – and not on my watch,” she said.

Her source of information? “Todd interviewed buddies who live out there… Some confirmation that state intervention isn’t first choice w/the locals,” Palin said.”We need to incentivize here,” including providing money for trappers.

How dare she rely on her husband.  Why…it’s almost like they love and trust each other’s judgement!

These intrepid journalists go on to write about their most egregious find among the e-mails yet. Check this out:

The e-mails also reveal Palin’s sensitivity to the way she was portrayed in the media, even at a time when the coverage came mainly from local outlets in Alaska. Palin’s contentious relationship with the national news media has become a major theme of her political persona in the years since the end of the 2008 campaign.

In 2008, for instance, one of Palin’s press aides sent her an essay about Jane Swift, the onetime governor of Massachusetts, who raised young children while in office. Palin responded with a barb about a recent column from a writer at the Anchorage Daily News.

“Pls remind Julia Omalley that ‘they’ said the same thing throughout my career- ‘too young,’ ‘pregnant,’ ‘kids’…’She won’t be able to do it,’ ” Palin wrote. “This coming from good ol’ boys who don’t like change…And so far along in my career we’ve proved them wrong at each turn.”

In another e-mail from 2008, an aide asks about a tanning bed at Palin’s house. A Web site, he said, was implying that the state had paid for it–which had set off a flood of calls from other media.

“The old used tanning bed that my girls have used a handful of times in Juneau?,” Palin wrote back. “Yes, we paid for it ourselves.”

Oh, the horrors.  They bought a …GASP!…Tanning Bed.  Sebelius and the Department of Health and Human Services will be knocking on her door anytime now.

This is reporting?

Meanwhile, up in the Northeast Corridor, on the other side of the country, and the other side of the aisle, Police are looking into “direct online communications” between New York Representative and adulterous exhibitionist Anthony Weiner and a 17-year-old girl. Authorities are also looking for any other young women who may be involved.

According to Weiner spokeswoman Risa Hellero on Friday night, Weiner’s interactions with the Delaware girl

were neither explicit nor indecent.

Of course not. He was just tweeting her because they’re both huge Lady Gaga fans.

Per Fox News:

Sources close to the student said the girl followed Weiner on Twitter after seeing him speak during a school trip to Washington on April 1. Weiner, after signing on to follow the girl’s Twitter feed, direct-messaged the girl on April 13, the sources said, though it is not clear what other communication the two may have had between or after those dates. Weiner no longer follows the girl on Twitter.

…Now that he’s caught.

Hey, no worries for Weiner, though.

House Democratic leader San Fran Nan Pelosi says the decision over whether the perverted Weiner should resign or not, should be up to the congressman and his New York constituents.

The former Speaker of the House (Thank you, Lord.) said in San Francisco that she believes the decision should be made by “the individual member” (Poor choice of words, Nancy) and the people in his district.

Okay.  Let’s compare situations:

On the one hand, we have a Former Governor of Alaska and former Vice-Presidential candidate, who has been the subject of the biggest witch hunt by both the Democrat and Republican Elite Establishment and their willing accomplices in the Main Stream Media that this country has ever seen, and the results are: 

Sarah Palin is exactly who she says that she is.

On the other hand, we have this New York Congressman, who, all over the cable news channels, has shown himself to be one of the most obnoxious jerks on Capitol Hill.

He gets caught exposing his shortcomings to several women, while married, through the electronic practice, fovored by schoolkids, of sexting. And,if that was not perverted enough, it now appears that he was communicating with at least one underage girl.

But, that’s okay.  His political superior, the ladies (and I’m being generous) on The View, and Liberal pinheads everywhere say that it’s not up to them to judge and his personal behavior has nothing to do with how he represents his constituency.

Goose…Gander.  Hypocrisy…thy name is Liberal.

KJ UPDATE 1:26 P.M. CENTRAL:  It looks like Weiner’s underage friendship has touched a nerve with the Democrat leadership.  CNN reports:

New York (CNN) – Three weighty Democratic voices – including Nancy Pelosi – on Saturday called for the resignation of embattled U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, who has been under fire after admitting to inappropriate communications with women online.

The House Minority Leader, and the chairmen of the Democratic National Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in separate statements called for Weiner to step down.

…And the hypocrisy continues…

    Excellent job, KJ, comparing the media’s fine tooth comb used for Palin and the blind eye used for Weiner.

    He is such a wackadoodle. She is a fine woman.

    The future Nathan’s spokesman now wants a Leave of Absence from the House so that he can seek treatment. Treatment for what? His Tweeting? When Weiner was giving Larry Craig grief did he suggest Craig take a leave of absence? Probably not…He doesn’t want to resign because, with the Clinton’s mad at him, he’ll have to get a real job in the private sector instead of living off of the public teat as he is want to do…

    As for the Palin treasure trove of emails, what is being shown is that, to this point, she was/is what she claims to be — a public servant…

      I think Weiner has realized that accepting ‘Slick Willy’ as his spiritual advisor may not have been a wise decision. 🙂

  3. So, the Washing Post thinks that Sarah Palin’s owning a tanning bed is even worth mentioning. Hello Mc Fly, in a state where the sun disappears for months at a time, people would actually want a tanning bed. SHOCKING…I’m surprised that everyone in Alaska doesn’t own one. I’m betting the number of tanning beds per capatia is the largest in the US.
