Trouble Sleeping? Read Sarah Palin's Email

Take 24,199 pages of these and call me in the morning.

Never mind for a moment that this suddenly eager media that is tripping and falling all over itself to investigate Sarah Palin's email (without a single credible allegation of wrongdoing, filing 600+ open records requests to sift through it the moment they heard her name three years ago) is the same media that REFUSED to investigate Barack Obama's relationship with admitted communist and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Never mind that this is the same media that ROLLED THEIR EYES at any questions raised about Obama's antisemitic, America-hating preacher of many years, Jeremiah Wright. Never mind even that this Palin-hunting media is the same one that just days ago INSISTED on shooting the messenger when someone else (Andrew Breitbart) did their job and investigated Anthony Weiner's inappropriate PUBLIC tweet (and subsequent false claims of hacking).

Never mind that the media's sudden interest in investigative journalism only applies to squeaky-clean, former conservative politicians that MIGHT run for office some day rather than those liberal ones that are obviously suspect and are actually in or seeking office. The only thing more unbelievable than the enthusiasm with which the liberal, mainstream media has dived into more than 13,000 of Sarah Palin's emails (24,199 pages-worth) is the fact that they're actually writing stories about the incredibly boring and uneventful contents of the emails (click here for a painfully comical example). I've never read more about less contained in more boxes of paper in my life.

Among the more riveting revelations: She did NOT pay for her daughters' tanning bed with state funds (shockingly to crooked liberals everywhere, she paid for it herself). She REMOVED alcohol from the governor's mansion at prom/graduation season rather than risk the temptation for the minors that may be in and out of her residence (rather than tweeting pictures of herself to them...cough cough).

Basically, countless media outlets are scouring 24,199 pages of Sara Palin's email, desperately seeking scandal, misappropriation of funds, and any remotely sharply-worded sentence in an effort to destroy her. Unfortunately for them, they have found absolutely nothing inappropriate to this point. Much to their frustration, they are only exposing that she consistently went an extra ten miles to be above reproach. Yet, they continue to write never-ending stories reporting non-scandals (though the length of the stories and coverage itself would seem to imply scandal, wouldn't it?). Oh yeah...and she appears to be a little suspicious of the media. Go figure.

Make no mistake: the story here is NOT the contents of the emails themselves. The story here IS the media frenzy to devour any and every word ever sent or received by a FORMER governor of Alaska--all with zero hint or suggestion that she has done anything wrong. Hey...at least they're finally investigating someone, right?

The media frenzy that took the nation by storm yesterday began with over 600 records requests from media outlets almost three years ago. Why?

Were explicit pictures sent out publicly from her Twitter account? No. And if such a thing ever happened, we now know with absolute "certitude" that the media would positively crucify any thug that dared investigate such a potential story (see Breitbart, Andrew).

Did she associate with known terrorists, kicking off campaigns in their living rooms? No. But we also know that such behavior raises nary an eyebrow from The New York Times, The Washington Post, MSNBC, CNN, or any of the major networks' news outfits. In fact, befriending violent socialists would apparently make her better suited for the office they are terrified she will pursue.

Did Sarah Palin spend two decades in a church with a racist, hate-mongering, socialist preacher? No. But if she did, there would certainly be no story there either. "Nothing to see here," they'd say. "And why are you being so nosey, Mr. Breitbart?"

No, Sarah Palin's crime was far worse than any social media scandal or questionable associations. Her crime was that she was selected as the Republican Vice Presidential candidate. Worse, she is a smart, successful, CONSERVATIVE woman. In the liberal world view, women are not supposed to be conservative (so much for diversity). And if they are, they are dismissed as dumb (so much for tolerance).

So, it stands to reason that a woman daring to be smart, conservative, AND a Vice Presidential candidate demands 24,199 times the scrutiny applied to the inappropriate relationships and lies of a Democrat congressman or the racist, socialist, and violent terrorist associates of the Democrat candidate for President of the United States.

The audacity of that woman...doesn't she know her place?
