24,199 Pages Of Sarah Palin’s Emails To Be Released To Public

» 53 comments

Just in case you hadn’t gotten enough Sarah Palin in the past few weeks, MSNBC, Mother Jones and ProPublica are set to release upwards of 24,000 pages of emails from Palin’s days as governor of Alaska.

This all began in 2008 when Mother JonesDavid Corn filed a request to have Palin’s gubernatorial emails made public. Many other members of the media followed his lead and, because Alaska has open records laws, the emails will be available to the public within the next week.

The state of Alaska initially told Corn that they had located 26,552 pages of emails, but are redacting 2,353 pages for unspecified reasons. Along these same lines, Palin apparently also used a personal email address for some of her official correspondence, and while the Alaskan government recovered some of these by looking through the official inboxes of some top officials, it’s possible that some communication was done from Palin’s personal account and the personal accounts of other State officials.

So these records are probably not totally complete, but if you’re still thirsting for more Palin after getting through 24,199 pages of emails, chances are someone will have excavated the additional, personal emails by then.

Says Corn:

Yet any reader who wants to sit in a cozy chair with an iPad or laptop and spend hours upon hours absorbing Palin’s e-correspondence – looking for missed nuggets or merely seeking further insight into Palin’s governorship – will be able to do so, courtesy of those of us who spent the past two-and-a-half years pushing these records into the open. Here comes some real summer reading.

Will you be reading Palin’s emails? Perhaps someone will make them Nook/Kindle friendly and Palin will dominate the bestseller list for summer 2011…

    How about showing us the Whitehouse visitor logs? The complete list.

    Next up, how about lawsuits to make her junior high diaries public?

    If this in any way excites you, it’s time to take a serious look at your life activities.

    24,000 pages of emails?! Wow, who is going to sit there and read all that?

    24K pages of the emails of an irrelevant, disgraced chillbilly quitter of a non-entity reality show nitwit. Yeah, that sounds like a great summer you’ve got planned there, Dave.

    They. Just. Can’t. Quit. Sarah. Palin.

    People who know she’s a stupid quitter. Funny, ain’t it?

    The left who hate her. They will do anything, including reading 24,000 emails, to destroy her.

  • WCinWI

    Liberals – We care about the planet, except when it comes to harming trees in the process of destroying Palin.

    This is too rich. I knew about this days ago. A lot of it will be redacted. I laughed when I knew that each box was going to be 55 lbs and there were a bunch of boxes to be shipped out. All the outlets that had sought the FOIA request were liberal institutions.

  • eingriff

    Is her prose too prolix?

  • Just4thefax

    Fact: It’s going to show us all the great work she did for Alaska.

    I wish the campaign donors to Obama were made public. How much of his money came from overseas???????

    So, we still know next to nothing about our president, but at least the dirt on Palin (a woman who holds no office at all).

    So what? Gov. Sarah Palin’s honesty, integrity, & veracity are unassailable. She has nothing to hide.

    Yep. But she ‘quit’ her job….That’s the ONLY thing the libturds say. Other than that, they’d LOVE her…HAHAHAHA

  • BatBoy

    Corn is just giddy over getting these e-mails.

    Now he and Tingles will have some new material.

    With so much to talk about, how are they going to have time to bash Fox?

    I foresee many threats and thugish activity in the “Wasilla Snowbilly Snookie’s” thin skinned emails.

  • armand

    I’m sure the Leftist will have dozens of people going through these emails looking for anything that they can misinterpret and spin against her. It’s what they do and have been doing it since 2008.

    MSNBC, Media Matters, Huffy post, and Mother Jones. You know, all those unbiased people who do that sort of thing.

    The more busy work we can give the Libs the better it is for the rest of us. Heck…send ‘em another 100k pages…this might just be a good summer…LOL

    Ya but the brothel was run out of Barney Frank’s house. It was also a drug house. Barney said “I um ,I er, I mmm, I had no idea. I didn’t see anything.” I was too busy with my lover over at Fannie and Freddie.

    Mother Jones- enough said.

    I loved how they raked Huckabee over the coals, yes Huckabee! for destroying a hard drive before his presidential run and yet couldn’t muster enough energy to demand to see any of Obama’s records, transcripts, calendar, travel itinerary, visitors…. from his 143 days as a senator.

    The FIRST order of business that Obama took ONE DAY after becoming president was to seal his presidential records, FIRST EXECUTIVE ORDER, 13489. A desperate measure, by a desperate man.

    I doubt there will be anything worthwhile but we can count on MJ, MSNBC and SNL to make it up if they don’t find what they are looking for. If they had spent this much time “investigating” Obama he would not be sitting in the WH.

  • Phocus2

    A lot of lefties with little dicks will scour the emails looking for something that will make their fear of strong women like Palin justified in their own minds. Boring.

  • WillP

    We will learn nothing more than what a good, true American Sarah Palin is. I hear the growl of the Mamma Grizzly!!!!!

  • JJ Vachon

    24,000 pages of boring misery? No thanks! I’d rather read the collected minutes from the US House before I read that!

  • Nature Freak

    The tea party is brewing some strong Kool Aid, straight from Guyana. The self destruction I see in the future for the baggers will be epic.

    I am sure the tree huggers will blame her for the pulp sacrificed to bring her emails to print. I hope it is on recycled paper.

  • Barack Must Go

    Why is Barack Obama so deathly afraid of this woman that he sent his regime’s citizen army in the MSM ( MSNBC ) after her internal E-mails from her time as Alaska’s governer?

    Besides the fact doing so just proves just how big a neurotic pussy Barack is.

  • lucky5

    It will be interesting to see how she ran the government of Alaska.

  • JasonMays

    BUT SHE’S STUPID AND MEANINGLESS AND.. AND… AND CROSSHAIRS!!!! DEATH PANELS!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Up where?

  • bumsrush

    I assume the e-mails will reveal the true depth and breadth of Palin’s ignorance, not only about Paul Revere’s ride, but about whatever subject matter is at hand.
