Hello from the Washington Post newsroom,
We have had a strong response to our initial call-out on the Palin e-mails. And as a result, we've decided to ask you and everyone else who responded to our initial call-out to post comments, questions, and information related to the e-mails directly to comment threads on The Fix: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix
Starting this afternoon, we’ll be posting digital versions of the Palin emails here:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/palinemails
So, once they begin to appear, we invite you to:
1. Browse the emails.
2. Read what other users have posted about them in the comments of The Fix blog. Take note of what has already has been pointed out.
3. If you find something new, interesting, and noteworthy, post a comment on The Fix blog under the embedded documents. Include specifics in your comment: page numbers, direct excerpts, etc.
4. Discuss what others have found by replying to their comments.
Our producers and reporters will have an eye on the comment streams as they read and report the emails alongside you. We may contact you for further details, by way of your registered e-mail with The Post (not necessarily the address this e-mail is being sent to). If you would not like to be contacted using your registered e-mail address, please specify that with your comments.
Of course this is not news to all of us who were reading the Post yesterday, but I figured I would share with you their official response, which I am sure everybody who volunteered received as well.
So folks it looks like we have a busy day ahead of us, and in anticipation I have cleared my calendar, fired up my Mr. Coffee, and prepared to spend the day sorting through this massive, and way overdue, e-mail dump.
Personally I will be checking in with the Washington Post throughout the day as well as doing my own searches over at Crivella West, and putting together my own posts based on what I come up with.
Your help in the comments section is, of course, more than welcome.
If you DO find something blogworthy, PLEASE make sure to send the link.
Hmm, I wonder HOW Sarah Palin will be spending her day today?
Pouting?
Throwing cans at her new Arizona refrigerator?
Getting ready to have a Facebook post written for her portraying her as the victim of her own e-mails?
Well though I may not know exactly what she will be doing, I am fairly certain what the expression on her face will be all day.
Oh yeah! No doubt about it.
Update: While we are waiting here is a PDF, courtesy of MSNBC, of the documents that list all of the redacted emails and the reason they were redacted.
Update2: Here is the first of the e-mails that are NOT completely redacted in a Washington Post PDF. Currently they only go to February 20, 2007.
RAM, you there (or did the BigBoss back the bus up over you)?
ReplyDeleteI rilly need to talk to you!
ASAHP.
I hope Piper is far away from Cruella today.
ReplyDeleteShe seems to have that pouting face quite often, my grandson used to do that, but a few timeouts took care of that.
ReplyDeleteLet the games begin!
ReplyDeleteIcebergs ahead!
ReplyDeleteMaybe some of them are in the emails.
There is more than one big iceberg out there.
Weather forecast says heavy fog lifting soon, and the freshening breeze carries a heavy stench.
Todd Palin just called to warn me about Sarah's mood status and she is in a very bad mood today. So stay clear of her.
ReplyDelete-Anony Mous
She is running out of diversions, although she may have a big one lined up: the "demise" of Trig Palin. She will use it to explain her failed road trip and her bizarre behaviour. Grief. I would not put anything past her at this point. The obvious failure to even mention him is very troubling to us tinfoil hat wearers. She has to come up with something to counteract the e-mails. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is outside the realm of possibility.
ReplyDeleteWhen is Sarah leaving the country to visit her good friend Margaret Thatcher?
ReplyDeleteFunny her emails are released and she takes off.
Is the search at C.West not working yet, or just not working for me?
ReplyDeleteWow, the Palin cult are out in force! Making Scarah proud I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteMany leading off with "I'm a dem" or "I'm a lib" or "why aren't you doing this to Obama" or "with all the important issue we have, why are you focusing on this" etc, etc, etc.......
It's hard to decide just which search word to enter first.

ReplyDeleteReally, I only see her denying anything and we all have lying eyes.
ReplyDeleteIf she's in AZ, she has Piper, Trig and Tripp with her. I think she may have flown to AK this week though.
ReplyDelete...How over the top is this media frenzy about emails from the administration of a half-term governor of a state with three electoral votes who was a defeated candidate for vice president and who has not held any elective office for almost two years?
ReplyDeleteIt’s mass media hysteria. I’ve seen nothing like it in regard to government documents since Daniel Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers forty years ago.
And as The New York Times wrote at the time, the Pentagon Papers “demonstrated, among other things, that the Johnson Administration had systematically lied, not only to the public but also to Congress, about a subject of transcendent national interest and significance”: the Vietnam war.
Here’s the irony: the very same mainstream media whose paid pundits tell us over and over again how inconsequential Sarah Palin has become are treating the release of Palin administration emails as an event of transcendent national interest and significance.
The New York Times and Washington Post (see above) are asking members of the public to work without pay to help them sort through the emails, looking for nuggets of gold amid the dross.
MSNBC, Mother Jones and ProPublica have together hired technological experts to help them create a full database of the emails asap.
The ghost of Paul Revere set out on a midnight ride tonight to warn, “The emails are coming! The emails are coming!”
My question: given that almost everyone has agreed that Palin has become as irrelevant to our national discourse as a third tit on a mule, why–especially in this age of journalistic decimation–are so many major MSM outlets pouring so many resources down a dry hole?
The New York Times and Washington Post putting out help-wanted ads in order to attract volunteer labor to work on this story of transcendent national interest and significance?
Think about that for a moment: those twin pillars of MSM have never tried to shanghai crews of amateurs in advance to help them with any other story. But for the Palin emails it’s all hands to the pump.
Why?
All the experts tell us Sarah will not run for president next year.
If she doesn’t, her political career ended on July 3, 2009, when she resigned as governor of Alaska.
Yet the political chattering class can chatter about little else but Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. They remain obsessed.
As I write in THE ROGUE:
Sarah Palin practices politics as lap dance, and we’re the suckers who pay the price. Members of our jaded national press corps eagerly stuff hundred dollar bills into her g-string, even as they wink at one another to show that they don’t take her seriously.
Anybody who thinks I exaggerate need only witness the spectacle about to unfold over the weekend.

GAME ON! As Sarah is wont to say...
ReplyDeleteWhy would you ever say something like "the demise of Trig?"
ReplyDeletewhy would you assume he's expendable? He's a member of the family. Always will be.
Yesterday someone posted an email about Erika using some Foundation's funds to get Bristol a trampoline at the Governor's Mansion.
ReplyDeleteBristol was a teenaged child when she moved to Juneau. She had fun. She played basketball. The next year she was often sullen, out of school, calling herself a slut, probably pregnant. How very, very sad.
AND Gryph:
ReplyDeleteEVERYONE should love this!!! From the UK Guardian this morning... OWEEEEE!!!
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jun/09/margaret-thatcher-sarah-palin-meeting
Here's quote from the end of the article:
"What he doesn't understand is that Palin's nutsiness is not a partisan matter in Britain, or anywhere else in the world. It is an obvious truth marvelled at by all. Palin's emergence as a serious figure in American politics has made the country a laughing stock across the world. The idea that a stateswoman like Thatcher, in advanced dementia, would be used by such a crackpot is simply unseemly."
time for a Bristol sex tape to appear... it will take focus away from emails
ReplyDeleteWhat a circle jerk.
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 9:11 am "She is just like Casey Anthony only she hasn't killed anybody yet."
ReplyDelete- that we know of.
Although "water in an airplane's gas tank" & "cross-hairs on a map" coupled with Palin does not bode well.
I may have misunderstood but I thought just the hard, paper copies were (finally) getting released, in Juneau, today. won't they have to be scanned and posted before they can be persued and searched on line?
ReplyDeletealso, too...why are they going to stop at september 2 2008? that's just when it started gettin' good. I would love to see what she did - did NOT do - when she returned from the trail until she advanced in another direction...
Anyway, ...some words to search for :

I know this sounds pessimistic but we know the lengths she goes to make herself appear perfect. They've had over two years to scour these emails. I think she probably has been assured she's going to come out alright in this.
ReplyDeleteThe only think one can hope for is that something accidentally got through...or that Frank Bailey will come clean with any additional information he has to take her out of politics.
They will have been edited and the joke will be on us. SP2.0 won't have let anything happen to his Goddess.
ReplyDeleteJoe McGuiness @ 9:13 AM:
ReplyDeleteI know, right?? I bet if a 'Sarah Palin Gone Wild' video was released, it would be required viewing material for the MSM and would be deeply analyzed for any important clues into the enigma that is this woman.
That's not to say that these emails won't be interesting, and of course I'll be pouring through them myself, but for as much comptempt as the MSM has for Sarah (and vice-versa), she also has them on a very tight leash and when she says 'heal!', they best comply. Truly a sad situation.

alaska has spent more time trying to hide palin's e-mails than the length of time she was in office.....before she QUIT! i'm thinking they can't hide every speck of her screw ups. happy hunting.

From ADN:
ReplyDeleteStatement on email release by Tim Crawford, Sarah PAC Treasurer.
"The thousands upon thousands of emails released today show a very engaged Governor Sarah Palin being the CEO of her state. . . ."
Wow, now Crawford is trying to impress eveyone by calling Palin a CEO.
But Tim, didn't Palin QUIT that position as well, half-way through the term of her governorship?
Oh, I know what CEO means as pertaining to Palin:
Certifiable Egomaniacal Obnoxiousness
Many leading off with "I'm a dem" or "I'm a lib" or "why aren't you doing this to Obama"
ReplyDelete>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
NO ONE who is of a liberal bent or a member of the democratic party calls themselves a lib or a dem. That's a clear signal these are phony.
Personally, I call myself an intelligent, caring, educated voter with excellent critical thinking skills. (I'm a progressive democrat.)
http://www.crivellawest.net/palinAll/pdf/1313.pdf
ReplyDeleteWhat on earth might have been redacted here?
"I'm driving through Anchorage right now".
And...stopping at a strip club??? This is going to drive me insane.
http://www.crivellawest.net/palinAll/pdf/1124.pdf
ReplyDeleteSo CHUCKY has pics of the new baby but TODD does not??? Hmm.
We know what an idiot she is on camera, likely more in unguarded moments whacking out spontaneous emails. This should be good....
ReplyDeleteI would like someone to clarify what (legally) can be redacted on the grounds of "executive privilege", and other reasons.
ReplyDeleteI believe that much of the "tell" will be from the redacted email list, and who was cc'ed on those emails. If we see Todd Palin copied on information that is supposed to be business of the state that is so private that it is not subject to public disclosure, there's grounds for a lawsuit, imo.
Hmm, I wonder HOW Sarah Palin will be spending her day today?
ReplyDeleteGetting ready to have a Facebook post written for her portraying her as the victim of her own e-mails?
Yup.Yup.Yup.

ReplyDeleteThey've only been released for an hour, so they are probably still scanning.
Sarah left her own team in place when she quit and she is still being protected by crooked politicians and their aides in Alaska.
ReplyDeleteFrank Bailey has the hot emails and he needs to do a dump or he will never be truly free of the Palin mafia.
Frank, do it for yourself, your family and your country. Let the truth shine, Frank.
Went to the grocery store early this morning down here in Virginia.
ReplyDeleteMagazine rack at grocery store had THE GLOBE front and center with Sarah and Todd Palin getting divorce and Sarah up and leaving for Arizona.

ReplyDeleteIf you get bored? Come see my "office"?
Ivy Frye is telling Todd...if he gets BORED...he should cmee see her...OFFICE.
Huh! Kids and their slang these days.
I'm reading them... And it's Deja vu, I keep thinking about the Nixon tapes and the erased segment.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit it, when I lived in Alaska I was initially pro Sarah. I liked her idea about transparent government and I voted for her because I was thinking its about time and that's what we need! Now I am feeling I helped contribute to this disaster and couldn't be more sorry about how I cast my vote. We enabled her and caused this travesty of a loser to be unleashed on the world.
Transparent government... What a joke. The blank pages speak for themselves.
Who was in charge of doing the redacting, making the choices as to what was "sensitive"? Have they been in touch with Palin or any of her staff or 'bots? Is there a trail to follow there?
ReplyDeleteWhen does the redaction "time out" (if ever)? Don't the full docs get released at some point?
Just remember, a ton of redactions are just as important as the emails. They suggest things that they know will cause waves.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Frank may never release his emails because they might implicate him in things he might face charges over. No one in their right mind releases emails that implicate them in a crime. Not even a Christian looking to do right. Probably why he's stonewalling on Trig - he knows that might be construed as fraud if some of the crazies decide they were duped and sue to get their donations back.
anon @10:09
ReplyDeleteI agree. If Frank really doesn't think she should be able to hold office he needs to tell ALL or he'll look like a hypocrite.
Remember if this is just a bunch of redactions, that looks bad for Granny too. Very bad.

"A member of the family"? Shouldn't you have said, he is Todd & Sarah's son, they adore him, and they don't notice the extra care he requires? He is just "a member of the family"? That is what I call my dog. Oh, her! She is a member of the family! She always will be.
Just as I feared, like when Geraldo opened Al Capone's safe and found it empty. Still doesn't explain why it took so long if there was nothing there. Someone will need to step up and sue for the complete emails. Won't help immediately but if there's enough pressure put on them then Parnell will have to keep covering for Sara and use state funds to fight their release or give them up. At least you'll know if Sara is still running Alaska from the sidelines. And who knows, maybe Parnell is hip deep in the muck and he's covering his and several others asses. Nothing like the people in charge determining if they are guilty of anything

ReplyDeleteNothing is going to be in these emails. Sarah Pac just released a statement saying something like: " everyone should read these because they show Governor Palin hard at work as a CEO of Alaska."
ReplyDeleteThis CEO stuff is just nonsense. She was NOT a CEO. Running a state is not the same as running a business, I don't care what she says. I have done government work and running a business and they are very different from each other.
Anything juicy in these emails has already been removed. I did a search for Trig and not one result came up. They may not all be entered yet.
This is a big to-do over nothing because of all of the redaction.

Fuck Andrea Mitchell. She is MSNBC's version of Greta Van Susteren. She is repeating a right-wing talking point. She is a just another right-wing Palin apologist.
"Everybody should read $arah Palin's e-mails, and everything will be fixed, and her poll numbers will go through the roof!" What garbage.
I don't know how many times I have heard some idiot on cable news say that something was going to work to Palin's benefit, then didn't.
Examples: The Fox News gig, the book and book tour, the Tea Party convention speech, the foreign trips, and speeches, the T.V. show, the recent media-whore bus tour... None if it helped her. She got more unpopular.
Most voters don't give a crap about these e-mails, and won't read them. $arah Palin is still an unqualified, right-wing extremist, divisive, quitter!

ReplyDeleteSounds like they are seeing signs she had her eye on the VP slot long before the supposed McCain "maverick move" selection. They are saying she met with Cheney about the/a pipeline in '07. They are saying at the time of the VP selection there isn't much to indicate she was too concerned about vacating her governorship in AK (AK's welfare, in other words).
ReplyDeleteIf they can establish that she was identified for the short list long before they pretended she was with that bs story about the kid with his "draft Palin" website, it will be significant. I am sure Big Oil and the GOP picked her long before, but they knew her professional and personal life could not withstand scrutiny beyond a few months' duration.
And they were right about that.

My creaky old brain seems to recall some retroactive locating of official events that the Palin kids had "attended" as a way to get the Alaskan taxpayers to foot the bill for their traveling expenses.
Basically everything about the pipeline is redacted. What is she so afraid of? It's her big claim to fame. I guess the version she portrays isn't the correct one...

ReplyDeleteIf Parnell were smart, he'd be careful with what he redacted. If anyone pursues this through the courts, he could end up guilty of conspiracy after the fact. Although, since he was probably in on all her illegal activities in the first place, he probably has a double reason to redact--for his own sake as well as hers.
Parnell has got her back. I'm sure there is nothing to read there. can you say redacted.
ReplyDeleteThis one from February 12,2007 which Sarah sent to Meg is hilarious:

Meg,
Shoot. I made the mistake of looking at the ADN blog to find out about todays "Sarah Palin the Blogger" issue......I knew I shouldn't have looked through it!
The first entry I looked at was a slam of you or your answer to the blog issue. The rant sounded familiar - like someone we know. It was ridiculous and offensive.
The other entry I looked at was a question of my ethics...it said I was trying to get my "Dad's best friend the deputy job at F & G". (Obviously referring to the Mat-su guy, Corey Rossi, whom a lot of game guys were lobbying for - my dad passed on a few comments from guys he was hearing from that were favorable to Corey.) I just called my dad, he confirmed that 1). Corey Rossi is not his best friend 2).he's not lobbying for anything for Corey, he was passing on comments from Alaskans who wanted to make sure I heard their input 3). he would never try to sway me to hire anyone 4).he knows I'm not micromanaging Denby and the choice of Denby's teammembers is is in Denby's hands.
It was another offensive blog entry.
And it sure leaves me puzzled as to the rumors that are able to spread like wildfire. Kind of makes my stomach turn over.
Looking at that blog was also my reminder to NOT waste my time and energy peeking at it to find out what's on readers' minds.
Tibbles - where is Denby on putting together his F & G team? Until he gets his deputy(ies) in there, we'll keep hearing controversy re: who's doing what.

That email is at the New York Times database on page four of February 12, 2007 emails.
Gee, Sarah sure has learned from this early experience not to read any blogs! :) Talk about a thin skin. Completely unable to stomach any legitimate criticisms from constituents. Unfit for any public office, paranoid, controlling, and idiotic.
What people have posted here has been pretty interesting actually. Palin has a hard working staff running the show, while she says, "what speech am I giving again, who am I talking to, what are my talking points." She mentions April 18 every time she mentions Trig, and is obsessed with the TAs around the time of his "birth." Keep em coming.

I'm not surprised at the immense volume of redactions.

Trigs, and Palin's 24/7/365 flexible ethics, I'm surprised there were any emails left to release at all.

Cue the Accusations of The Media’s KKK Style Lynching of Sarah Palin
ReplyDeleteThe Emails Are Coming, the Emails Are Coming! Palinistas are so upset over the Palin email dump that they’re calling it a “KKK lynching” and whining about why no one is doing this to Obama. They follow this up with the petulant insistence that her emails are none of our business.
Here is Glenn Beck today via Media Matters comparing the media coverage of the Palin emails to a KKK lynch mob:
Glenn Beck ironically lectured his audience first on how liars and people make things up destroy themselves, he moved on to defending Sarah Palin, “This thing that’s happening with The New York Times and Sarah Palin, I’ve never seen anything like it. Have you? Where they take the emails, and now they’re asking readers to though and find things on her.”
After getting sidetracked with some race baiting, Beck resumed his defense of Palin and compared the media to the KKK, “Why is it that they are so against Sarah Palin? You may not agree with her policies or you know may not want her to be President of the United States, but do you have to ask yourself have you ever seen such a lynch mob that wasn’t wearing a hood, ever? Have you seen one? I’ve never seen such a lynch mob. You might as well just put hoods on every member of the press, and it’s not about the content of character or the color of the skin. It’s about can they move people in a sense of freedom and independent spirit.
Let’s get these objections out of the way so we can carry on with the day. I’m glad the right is bringing up the KKK and lynching. It’s so nice when they admit to their own behaviors via projection (Kenyan no birth certificate not America etc). No one is reading President Obama’s emails because for many reasons, Presidents’ emails are not available until after they have left office and are then presented in the national archives (unless you are George W Bush whose team destroyed emails, computers, and used non-government servers).
One who is even remotely serious about politics will understand the necessity for secrecy around a President’s emails until he has left office. But then, Palin fans are more Twilight-esque with a twist of violent, demented fan rage most akin to “leave Britney alone!’ wails followed by violent threats backed up by various psalms that prove she is being persecuted by us because we hate the “message of Christ”. I kid you not. I know Christ was all for lying to the people in his name, they just left that part out of the bible. If you don’t believe me, check his Wiki page which has been conveniently updated by rabid Palin fans to revise the bible and Christ himself to fit in with their leader’s notions of how he rang that bell of secrecy to warn the anti-Christ.
As for the claim that her emails are none of our business, these emails were requested two and a half years ago when she was running for Vice President. She ran for office as Governor under the mantle of “open and transparent” government but then used Yahoo accounts to conduct government business off of the government servers to get around the state’s public records law. Her emails were our business two and a half years ago as she told us she was ready to lead this country. It’s not our fault that she delayed this process for over two and a half years.
http://www.politicususa.com/en/kkk-sarah-palin
The fact that the e-mails are so heavily redacted means that she had A LOT to hide. These are GOVERNMENT e-mails. They said they redacted things that were personal. What was so personal in a GOVERNMENT e-mail that resulted in a blank page?
ReplyDeleteThis whole thing is a farce. The fact that they had three years to redact and that her attorneys were able to review them says plenty. My only hope is that since Sarah is so secretive, she left out information that the attorneys would never look for and that we know will be a smoking gun that will get her into big trouble. Like what happened around the time of babygate. No way did that lazy ass look through the e-mails herself.
Did Bill come out commenting about how much information was actually withheld and what it was since he has the actual e-mails.
Off topic but the Globe on the news stands now has a story about a secret divorce deal between Sarah and Todd with custody and property agreements already reached. According to the story in return Todd has agreed to appear at public appearances (evidently short events) and to not make the agreement public until the 2012 election.
ReplyDeleteBest of all, Sarah's not so lovely face graces the cover!
They were searching (TA) "Travel Authorizations" in August 08 because they had to go way back in order to "change" the wording to minimize the charges she was facing for family travel at the states expense.

On Aug. 2, 2008, she wrote to a government official that the day her fifth son, Trig, was born, should count as a work day.
“How is it reflected in my TAS the couple of days I was ‘off duty’ when I had Trig?” she wrote. “April 18, the day he was born, I signed a bill into law and conducted a few State actions (and that should be recorded for the record).”
The Palins were lambasted during the 2008 campaign for spending big Republican Party money on clothes and other items for their family. But the family was tapping into the party long before she was asked to be on the ticket. On April 15, 2008, Todd Palin emailed an official at the Republican Governors Association, with a request:
ReplyDeleteChristi, any chance we can hook up with Dallas Mavericks' bball tickets for their game here tomorrow night? Just checking... Thanks! Todd Palin, Alaska
The Mavericks, according to their 2008 schedule, were playing the New Orleans Hornets that night
So she wants to claim per diem for the day Trig was born, but she didn't take FMLA leave after the birth?
ReplyDeleteCome on Sarah, we aren't that stoopid. Knowing everything we know about this woman, had she really given birth, she would have taken six months off and squeezed every nickel she could have from the state.

Ghost-writing letter to editor
ReplyDeleteFrom Kyle Hopkins in Anchroage, 11:35 a.m. --
In another example Palin’s effort to counter-punch criticism in the media, she ghost-wrote a letter to the editor – quoting herself – that would reply to a complaint that Palin had failed to appear at the 2008 Miss Alaska pageant.
In the July 26th, 2008 note to Frank Bailey, Kris Perry and Rosanne Hughes, Palin drafted a letter to the paper and asks her aides to find someone to send it to the Daily News under his or her name:
Palin writes:
“I’m looking for someone to correct the letter writer’s goofy comments, but don’t want the letter to ADN in response to come from me.”
Palin then provides her aides a draft of the letter:
“Dear Editor: To address Judi Spry’s Anchorage Daily News letter-to the editor on July 26 asking where the governor was during this year’s Miss Alaska Pageant:
First, when I asked Gov. Palin if she was ever Miss Alaska (as Ms. Spry stated), our Governor replied, “Nope, a mere “Miss Congeniality”, one of the runner-up sashes, and much-needed college scholarships were my wins as a participant in that scholarship program, about 100 years ago it seems now.’”
Palin tells her staff she wants the letter to argue that she didn’t blow off the pageant because of a “lack of support” for the event, but in order to keep a commitment to travel to Fairbanks to meet with U.S. Congressmen who were touring ANWR.
Palin aide Ivy Fry replied to the e-mail later that day, suggesting Palin friend Kristan Cole could send the letter.
“Kristan Cole would be perfect as she knows the pageant world but also she knows how busy you and Todd are. I’ll touch base w her today, and Frank too to make sure we’re sending variations and not duplicates of this letter,” Fry wrote.
“Also, we’re rallying the troops re: letters for dps and agia. Phil Schneider’s should run this wkend,” Fry added.

Re the email of Tuesday, August 05, 2008 12:40 AM
ReplyDelete"WOW! why would she need to check trig's birth for INaccuracies? this is pretty damning evidence right here."
Because there were people in that office who knew Trig had been born earlier, and also some who were not in the loop and still believed the "April 18th" lie. Palin was obviously nervous that Trig's real birthdate would go out by mistake.
Sometimes what's not there is just as revealing as what is there:
ReplyDeleteGo to the page showing the redactions, both partial and all withheld--http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/Sections/NEWS/palin_withheld_emails.pdf
Now, scan through them. You'll notice that emails to and from Sarah have lots of people listed as both cc'ed and in the "to" column. HOWEVER, on Jan 23-25, 2008 (see for example pages 140, 136, 146, 144--they're all muddled up) there are dozens and dozens of emails only between Sarah and Parnell, or from Sarah to Parnell, Kristina Perry, Frank Bailey, and Ivy Frye, with occasional additions of Sharon Leigh and Tom Irwin.
This is so different from her administration's usual pattern of cc'ing everyone, that it stands out like a sore thumb. The usual reason given for the redaction? "Privacy."
So SOMETHING happened around January 23-26, and we now have the names of the people "in the know."
Gryphen, could you post all of the pdf files of the emails, like you did for the first ones (Update #2)? I don't like the cloud reader at the Washington Post, and the Crivella West site posts each email seperately, which is painstaking.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you posted them.
Is anybody sued to get the rest of them?

ReplyDeleteThis is WEIRD...
It's sent to all the Palins, kids included...all the "main players"...and the email itself is only one line, pointing out Sarah's "incompetence". Only they spelled it wrong.
Very odd. AND...the state redacts things we have a RIGHT to know yet leaves the private email addresses of the Palin kids/family out in the open?
This is a freaking farce, just like everything else Palin related.
I am not looking these over as you all are, but it appears from some of your posts that people's names are quite often redacted, no?
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.
On Aug. 2, 2008, she wrote to a government official that the day her fifth son, Trig, was born, should count as a work day.
ReplyDelete“How is it reflected in my TAS the couple of days I was ‘off duty’ when I had Trig?” she wrote. “April 18, the day he was born, I signed a bill into law and conducted a few State actions (and that should be recorded for the record).”
----------
So let me see if I've got Sarah's lies straight. She had spent almost the entire previous day in airports or on airplanes; was allegedly traveling while 7-1/2 months pregnant; had "given birth" in the wee hours of the morning; yet STILL DID STATE BUSINESS later that day, on 18 April, within 24 hours after her INDUCTION "delivery" of a "preemie?????"
Can every woman who has ever traveled for a full day while more than 7 months pregnant join me in a chorus of "BULLSHIT?"
Sarah. Palin. Was. NOT. Pregnant. In. 2008.

The date, April 17th, 2008 at 11:53 AM. Wasn't she supposedly giving a speech while in labor at that time?

It's amazing the bs that is being spewed by Halcro. Whatever he's being fed
to fuel his anti-Agia rants is so off base as to almost be comical.
If he's taken up Meg' s offer to finally meet with us to hear facts, then
let's take him up on it asap. Dr Anthony Scott and the other experts will
share facts so that Halcro can not deny our offer to share factual info with
him.
Halcro does not need to know that we will have a number of folks there or I
anticipate he'll then find a reason to not participate.
Thank you.

Gryph, here's a nugget!
ReplyDeleteSarah, discussing her APOC forms 3/2008-- asking Todd
"Legally, DEB RICHTER's name is OFF the CABIN PROPERTY, right?"
So this land which she declared had no structures on it, she referred to as "THE CABIN PROPERTY".
D'oh...
http://www.crivellawest.net/palinAll/pdf/970.pdf
ReplyDeleteOops, HERE is the Richter/Cabin property link, sorry.
Why did Ms. Henry quit, resign or was fired 2 months after being appointed by Talis Colberg when she suggested changes that needed to be made?
ReplyDeleteSomething stinks in Denmark. This is a woman who was highly spoken of for defending victims of crimes and even had a monument in her honor for it.
what the hell happened that involved Wayne Anthony Ross (WAR), Palin and her AG and this woman? And then Palin attempts to reward WAR latter with an appointment?
http://www.law.state.ak.us/press/releases/2007/011807-HenryBradyAppointment.html
"(ANCHORAGE, AK) – Today Attorney General Talis Colberg officially announced that he appointed Mary Anne Henry as Deputy Attorney General overseeing the Department of Law’s Criminal Division.
"I am pleased that Ms. Henry agreed to serve the Department of Law in this new capacity," said Colberg. "Prosecuting criminal offenders is one of the principal responsibilities for the department. Overseeing the state’s 13 district attorneys’ offices and the Office of Special Prosecutions and Appeals requires experience and a proven ability to prosecute crime. Mary Anne possesses both these essential qualities."

ReplyDeleteTodd Palin asks Ivy Frye why she is "up so late".
I used to joke about Todd & Ivy doing the mat su samba. Not any longer. These are the casual back and forths of two people who are very, very familiar with one another. Just my opinion, of course. But we all know Todd is a pig and Ivy was known to be morally...flexible...when it came to married men, was she not?
I'm amazed to read the wonks saying that this kind of release of info on a politician has never happened before.
ReplyDeleteReally??
If the wonks had half a brain and used it instead of sniffing panties, they would know that it is not uncommon that every candidate when running for President has FOIA requests for their emails to be reviewed and if something is wrong, to be brought to the attention of the public.
The only difference in this case is the fuckers in the government in AK took friggin' 3 years to release them and it was within Palin's first speech upon McCain picking her for VP that we knew she was lying. That she continues to keep herself on the national stage of course makes this a bigger issue as everyone is curious now.
So Palin wonks -- it's the weekend -- go suck it somewhere else as we know who you are.
Afraid or jealous of Palin -- you need to find some new terms in that it never has been or will be that. Never have I been afraid of a media slut. In fact, physically, I could whip that slut's ass in a nano second and personally - enjoy doing it. Beware as you never know when we'll be at your events and your ass will be whipped.
http://www.crivellawest.net/palinAll/pdf/1005.pdf
ReplyDeleteGuessimg Todd never made this 4/18/2008 meeting.
Given that the AK government (and Sarah's lawyers) have spent years now combing and redacting the emails, I suspect there won't be much to find. Add in the msm hype and the result will, I fear, be a huge msm yawn and the conclusion that "gee, she's such a nice lady." I hope that some interesting news will come from the email review but I'm skeptical.
ReplyDeleteThere's an exchange between a former Governor's Mansion House Manager, a Sharon Lane (worked from '87-'90 assisting Michael Cowper, First Lady) and Erika Fagerstrom (Palin's Executive House Manager) about the fact that Todd hosted a luncheon honoring past House Managers on August 2, 2008 - and Ms. Lane was not publicly recognized at the luncheon when others were, apparently?
ReplyDeleteShe writes to ask why this happened, and the response is cagey if nothing else. So funny to see this Palin staff person dance around it, not actually apologizing but expressing regret that the woman felt disappointed. Just kinda wonder if it was an honest oversight or some weird dis/punishment by the Palins.
Cowper was a Democrat, but that probably has nothing to do with it. Minor incident, of course. The fact Todd was in on it rings bells for me though.

I wonder if all of the redacted email addresses are of Todd. There aren't too many emails from/to in the latest batch.
ReplyDeletePlease keep the comments coming! It's great to be able to read these excerpts.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest story is the redactions. Just glancing at the list, I noticed an email about a 2007 news release re the Mat Su dairy. What could be so sensitive about the story behind the governor's news release that it still needs to be confidential four years later? Seriously? Alaskans should be furious and demand a change in executive privilege laws.

ReplyDelete@shushwalshe: The first e mail I took out of the box. A poem sent to a group including the gov of Alaska. #palinemails http://j.mp/jpyPWq
There. nov 11, 2007. The wedding the family attended in Hawaii. Bristol was there. Now please stop with the 07 pregnancy rumors.
ReplyDeleteBtw, that wedding was referenced in the 09 emails.
So far I find them disappointing. I noticed lots o'stuff on Matsu maid on the redacted list...How can there be any credibility here when her lawyer got to go through them first???
ReplyDeleteI like this though, from the HuffPo:
Today 3:28 PM Reporter As Cheerleader
At least one person is bound to be embarrassed by this massive Palin email dump -- local Alaskan reporter Tom Miller. There's a fine line between sucking up to a source and drinking the Kool-Aid. In a Sept. 3, 2008 email sent to Palin and one of her staffers, Miller guzzles the Kool-Aid.
Miller forwards along a missive he wrote to other journalists concerning allegedly inaccurate reporting on the Bridge to Nowhere. But he destroys his credibility by adding this note:
I thought you might like to see this e-mail I sent off to the media big shots this morning. I would send it to her and to the Republican establishment, but have no idea how to do that or how long before anyone might see it.
Good luck in the new job.
Go Palin!
-- Jason Cherk
Oh, I also liked this one -- She was governor and didn't even know what the largest private employer was:
ReplyDeleteoday 3:20 PM Palin's Pop Quiz
Palin's Pop Quiz: What's the biggest private employer in Alaska?
"Safe to say [t]hat fisheries are our largest private-sector employer in the state? (Tourism is second?)" Palin queried staffers and her husband in January 2008.
"I'm sure it's correct but want verification," she added in a later email. Staffer Frank Bailey suggested that it might be construction. "Considering the caneries I believe it's fish," Palin replied.
According to the Alaska Department of Labor, fewer than 10,000 people were in "seafood processing" in April 2011, while nearly twice as many worked in construction. (That figure presumably doesn't include the fishermen and women themselves, or cable staffers who ride along.) Meanwhile, 30,400 worked in "leisure and hospitality." That's more than twice as many as oil and gas.

Why would she and the 'first family'(gag me with a spoon) celebrate Hitler's (4/20/1889) 119th birthday ??
I see that Parnell, the prick, the AG and all the motherfucking AK admin that had their hands in reviewing the emails for release, played by Palin's instructions -- the leave the names, addressed and phone number of citizens who wrote emails to the her about issues that they may not agree with, etc.
ReplyDeleteI'd say the AK admin better hire some fucking security as we've already had some crank calls and I don't imagine I'm the only one thinking like that.
The fact they continue to suck off of Palin's teet means there is going to be a friggin' major storm in the next election and Parnell ain't safe. He best move to fucking AZ with Palin to get his teet fix.
No big surprise...Sos far what I'm getting is a view of a pathetic person OBSESSED with how she is viewed by the media. See the email from 7/7/07. pg. 5 on the washpo's archive.

THat is hysterical! Great find.
Sarah Palin, Todd and her lawyers and minions had over 2 years to redact what they wanted as she still has her devoted bots working in Alaska govt.
ReplyDeleteCritics writing to her had their names, addresses and phone numbers left in the e-mail dump. Now these people have cross-hairs on them by Sarah and the bots will probably go after them. See article on Politicususa.
Sarah and Todd Palin are evil people and they should be in jail.
Palin's hostility toward the use of teleprompters didn't fit within her world back in 2007. When Calgary's "Energy TV" called up looking to interview Palin, Palin communications aide Meg Stapleton wrote to staff:
ReplyDeleteEnergy TV would like an interview with the Governor and I thought this Wednesday might work - the questions are below . What we need to do is simply book the Governor's time, provide the answers to the questions below, use the prompter and have her look to the side and answer the questions for use by the TV station. I just need help on the answers . It needs to be very conversationally written . Needs to be on 3:30pm Governor's feed Wednesday - could record according to Governor 's schedule on Wednesday morning and would need answers by tomorrow. Possible?
Palin recalled that she had a "long cabinet meeting" scheduled for the same time they had allotted to shoot her side of the interview. Stapleton replied:
We're working around that. Joe Balash is crafting the answers right now , Sharon will ask the questions, we will have the answers in a teleprompter, and then send those answers over the satellite tomorrow afternoon . It shouldn't take long , once we have the answers. Expect them tonight.

ReplyDeletePanicked Email Over An Apparent Computer Search
On Aug. 19, 2008, in the midst of Troopergate, Palin sent a distressed email to staffers, apparently under the belief that her computer at the governor's mansion had been searched by authorities, writing: "who, when, etc conducted this search of my bedroom's computer and the other house computer? And what were the reasons given and responses given to whomever must have officially entered the residence on whatever day it was that this occurred?" Palin's scheduler, Janice Mason, checked into the search and discovered that the governor's office itself had copied all staff computer hard drives at the request of the state Department of Law.
The news didn’t please the governor. "it's not comforting at all knowing this took place with no one present…. Who are 'they'? Who went to the bedroom, where else did they go?"

I have a feeling the divorce is not just a rumor. Why is it so hard to find out the truth about this. Someone needs to ask Sarah directly "ARE YOU DIVORCED?" or "DO YOU HAVE A DIVORCE SETTLEMENT?" She might try her "Divorce, have you seen TAAAWD?"
ReplyDeletebut maybe we could see her facial expression. It just seems that if she does run for president as a Republican nominee and lies about this, that is a very serious offense, isn't it? Although no one will catch her at it. She lies about everything and has never been held accountable, even doing many illegal things.
In Dunn's book, he points out all of the outright lies Sarah has made on things she has been found guilty of. How do her fans keep justify this? Are they simply afraid to admit they were wrong? Pretty weak excuse.
I'd like to ask a Palinbot how they would feel if they found out that Sarah had been divorced for months but was pretending she wasn't. Would they care? It is the divorce, it is the LYING. She is a sick sick pathological liar. It isn't funny and this kind of thing can truly screw up a kid. Her kids are going to have serious issues, they already do.

From Gawker re the emails, spotlighting an email from Elan Frank, the Israeli filmmaker:
ReplyDelete"I love her and what she stands for and want to make sure she is shown only In the most positive way."
Elan Frank, an Israeli filmmaker, met Palin randomly long before her ascension to the national stage and spent time filming her. When she was named John McCain's vice presidential nominee, he contacted Palin's spokeswoman to offer congratulations and pledge fealty: "Let me know if I can be of any help with the footage I have. The footage I have and my approach present the governor in a bright and positive light, and can be very helpful. You can direct news agency's to me, I will make sure they get only the very good stuff." Guess who eventually purchased Frank's footage for a documentary about Palin, and hired him as a consultant?
