Unflippinbelievable: Highlights From The Palin’s Email Trove Are More Sweet Than Sour

Now that the Sarah Palin emails have been out for about three days, many poor souls (interns) have banded together to try and make it through all 24,199 pages. No one has finished them quite yet, but MotherJones has quite a comprehensive summary of everything they’ve worked their way through so far.

We’ll do our best to keep you abreast of any developments, but so far the emails haven’t revealed much besides the fact that Palin was running a functioning office, which was definitely a blow to some. However, there are some gems buried beneath the trove of emails and we have cobbled together some highlights of the highlights that you may find entertaining:

– Palin really DOES say things like “unflippinbelievable”

– She also has something in common with her Canadian neighbors: she uses “eh”… Frequently

– The media drives her crazy sometimes: she calls the Wall Street Journal‘s coverage of Troopergate (when she was accused of abusing her power in firing a State Trooper) “horrible” and is frustrated when the Associated Press says Piper is 8 instead of 7.

– On September 15, 2008, Palin wrote that “climate change is a top issue”. She would later show a radically different public view on the statement.

– She wrote a letter to her friends and family from the point of view of “Trig’s Creater, Your Heavenly Father” in which she spoke as God, revealed some confusion as to isle/aisle and said :

Trig’s mom and dad don’t want people to focus on the baby’s extra chromosome. They’re human, so they haven’t known how to explain this to people who are so caring and are interested in this new little Alaskan. Sarah and Todd want people to share in the joy of this gift I’m giving to the Palin family, and the greater Alaska family. Many people won’t understand… and I understand that. Some will think Trig should not be allowed to be born because they fear a Downs child won’t be considered “perfect” in your world. (But tell me, what do you earthlings consider “perfect” or even “normal” anyway? Have you peeked down any grocery school isle, or school hallway, or into your office lunchroom lately? Or considered the odd celebrities you celebrate as “perfect” on t.v.? Have you noticed I make ‘em all shapes and sizes? Believe me, there is no “perfect”!)

– After an aide praises her she tells him, “we love the mobster in ya”. While I have absolutely no idea what this means, I can already see the t-shirts heading to the printing press.

– Newt Gingrich emailed her for advice on Alaska’s oil revenue sharing program

– Palin wrote her manager to say, “we would like a tanning bed in our office, please. Or just one of those UV happy lamps. It’s very dark in here.” Disadvantage, Alaska. At least they have that great view of Russia? Palin’s manager responded with detailed options for installing a bed in the Palin house. Although there were never follow up emails on the subject, this finally sheds some light (hee, hee) on Palin’s consistently golden complexion. Tanorexic!

– Bristol Palin is a teenager. The email below reveals all the classic symptoms: insipid writing, extraneous exclamation marks, gratuitous enthusiasm, entitlement, and slacking.

Hello Mother,
Um, I’m sitting in library and I really thing you need to get Piper a cell phone!! Wouldn’t that be so adorable! She could text me while she was in class!! It’s a done deal right?! Perfect! Ok, I will talk to you later and I need some cash flow! Love ya!

Essentially, these highlight the inanity of the emails. While amusing, none have been particularly earth shattering. We’ll keep you updated if this changes.

And I’ll say again: what this exercise really proves is the biased zeal exhibited by some “news” organizations to try to find something; anything to try and to tarnish her with. And, as karma would have it, what the emails really show is that she was discharging the duties as governor of a state. Wow…what a concept.

Poor MSNBC, NY Times, MoveOn, Mother Jones, etc. They must be shattered that this whole sordid affair they took part in has actually resulted in RAISING her stature, vs. diminish it.

The media just helped the conservative cause write so many political ads for 2012 and beyond that I welcome it. :)

You mean she wasn’t spending time in a government gym taking lewd pix of herself? Darn. Well then, that just proves she wasn’t as hard-working as the Weeniemeister. Shame on her.

Everyone understands the behavior of drug addicts who don’t get their drug fix – they become uncontrollably violent, resort to insane acts that destroy property and kill and injure innocent people and do whatever they can to get money for their next dose.

Remember that while thinking about the fact that the massively PDS (Palin Derangement Syndrome) – inflicted lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists, whose hatred for one of America’s most effective and accomplished political leaders knows no bounds, have totally, utterly and completely FAILED in their latest effort to find the slightest bit of dirt on the distinguished former governor after pouring through thousands and thousands of her e-mails. They wound up with Zilch, Zero, Nada, Nothing, Zip – and they didn’t get their drug FIX !!!!!

Like the drug addicts they so resemble, the PDS lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists are now likely to explode into even further uncontrollable fits of anger and violence against NORMAL, SANE, PATRIOTIC American citizens. They will make their follow lunatics, the GOONS and THUGS of public-sector unions, look like tame pets in comparison. The burning of Greece by their fellow socialists will probably serve as a guide to the actions of the d-cRAT socialists.

Please prepare to protect yourself and your family from the predictable behavior of these out-of-control d-cRAT socialist extremists and their stooges in the lamestream socialist fake-news media.

My most favorite email is the one from God before the birth of Trig. If Lizzie Manning really wants to be objective, she should publish it in its entirety, don’t just lift few lines to focus on isle/aisle. Yes!, we get it, you can’t help your bias; but can you at least try to seem neutral.
The letter from God is the most touching email, perhaps even the liberals might like it. She explain why name Trig is chosen. You can feel the struggle, pain and happiness, and true to her conservative principles.
If you don’t want to publish it, perhaps your readers can click on the following link.

Imagine every MSM outlet having interns go through 24,199 pages of e-mail for a half term Alasken Gov. And people still think the hard left, liberal and MSM are NOT out to get her by any means necessary. The proof is in their actions.

Want a good laugh at a clear demonstration of absurdity?

Washington Post puts out call for people to sign up to sift through her emails, creates a twitter account to post the smearing… http://twitter.com/#!/PalinEmails

Then dares to cover the absurdity of the “press” for their obsession with the emails: http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/media-frenzy-over-palin-e-mail-release-was-unusual-even-for-her/2011/06/11/AGTgEUQH_story.html

Wow that is riveting stuff! Definitely worth 3 days!

And, for those who will call me a Palin supporter who is just mad about the way the press treats her, I am not now, nor have I ever been, in support of her running for President.

It just amuses me how rampant the PalinDerangementSyndrome is.
Harry Flashman

This is fun.

Watching the press taking this beating is entertainment you can’t pay for. They had so convinced themselves of their own narative about her, of their own caricature of her, that they just KNEW they’d find e-mails to ridicule her and even put her in jail as soon as they opened those boxes. They found just the opposite, and now they’re flabbergasted.

Did you see the pictures of them grabbing their boxes? Thay looked like people in a third world country swarming a truck filled with bags of rice.

I wonder how many times the main stream media will have to put its hand on that stove before they figure out that it’s hot?

lillyluminatus

For the life of me, I cannot understand why Palin fought so hard against the release of these emails.

In addition to the obvious objection–seriously, don’t try to run a state if you can’t imagine abiding by it’s well-known open records laws–she comes off so much better than in anything she’s done in the past 3 years. It’s almost as though she didn’t want anyone to know that she was once a competent, reasonable, grounded individual.
TfT

What a snark article by Lizzie, no surprises there, she is a Palin hater, as are most here at mediaite. I notice that Lizzie doesn’t bother to reveal any of the substance of the emails, because then it would be clear to all that Palin was a functioning Governor who knows her shit and did a good job. oh noes, we have to hear about “isle/aisle”. Nothing about the content of that note about Trig, not a blessed word from mediaite staff.

Libearl hate Palin for bringing Trig into this world and not aborting him.

What a sad article Lizzie, not funny, not cute, not even newsworthy. Just demonstrative on the hate, the witch hunt, and the extreme PDS that y’all lefties suffer from.

I feel bad for you.
Liberty_Hound

Help me here… Does this routinely happen to former Governors? I mean I know the e-mails fail under the property of the state or the people of Alaska so I have no real problem with citizens to be able to go through them. But I do not remember any release of official e-mail from any current of former politician unless maybe they were died or under some sort of investigation. Why haven’t we been able to search through, for example, former Illinois State Senator and former US Senator Obama? Are his past official e-mails protested? Is this practice only for the digging of dirt on conservatives? Just asking…
http://constitutionallibertarian.co.cc DavidKramer

Sarah Palin, the most vetted person in the history of the US of A. Compared to Obama, the least vetted person to ever hold office anywhere in the US of A.

Heck, I know the county dog catcher was more vetted than Obama.

So, what do you have left to attack her liberals? She was cleared of ALL ethics charges. You went thru EVERY email of her’s while governor.

What else do you have?

Hoisted upon your own petard, pass the popcorn.

The half-term nit wit does a fine job of that without any help all. She is very skilled at making herself look like an idiot and does seem to have problems with gotcha questions, i.e., any incoherent random stringing together of words, which makes em all gotcha questions.

The fact is, these pinheads can’t imagine that there is really someone out there who IS a genuine person, with no skeletons in their closet, who doesn’t swear a lot, and basically lives a good, clean life. That’s what ticks them off the most – they would LOVE to have a life and family like hers. HA… joke’s on them.

Not just mis-spellings, but completely wrong words, incorrect syntax and verb conjugation, just to name a few. I think I will start “editing” Lizzie’s articles for her. Should be fun!

Guys, this doesn’t have to devolve into a Sarah Palin good vs. evil debate. I actually agree with you– I think Palin comes across very admirably in these emails and if anything they will help to boost her reputation. I never said that this was the complete and final word on the Palin emails, I used the expression “highlights of the highlights”. Check out any of the pages I linked to in the article for more complete coverage and links to all of the emails.

Oh man, good article. Just fantastic. Hilarious, too. Isn’t Sarah Palin just the WORST? How dare she not act like a stupid, hateful bitch in private-but-eventually-public correspondence???
ModerateMan

I’m just curious. Highlighting and publishing the email portions that are the least flattering, even if they are minor, seems to be unfair. How about showing the reader some of the examples where she is discussing complex issues and standing up to powerful interests? It seems the media (like the writer of this article) thinks they are doing her a favor by admitting the most damaging things they found are minor, but it doesn’t dawn on them they are still providing a biased and negative view of her.

“I’m amazed you guys here are having a party when the real juicy emails have been heavily redacted and tell the real truth.”

Of COUUUURSE they have. And you base this on …. ??? A bunch of bullcr** “stories” that flooded the “news” in the two weeks after she was nominated that all turned out to be false? Nasty skits on TV? Opinion columnists who call her playground names and make fun of the way she talks?

Ya got nuthin’ and it’s drivin’ ya nuts, ain’t it?

I think what this shows is that Palin is exactly who she says she is. Which is pretty refreshing, frankly.

Two things. First, these emails were requested almost 3 years ago, 8 days after Palin (a relative unknown at that point) had been chosen as VP nominee. They were only released now that she is a former Governor because she, and the state of Alaska, spent years fighting their release. Second, from what I understand, the emails were released under Alaska open records laws. This is why this seems to be a rare case–most states have different laws.

If only the media had done their job in 08, maybe Obama would be an asterisk in history. Though not a great Clinton lover, I believe she would have done a better job than the man in thw White Hizzy now.
TfT

Just think if the media would have made the LATimes relaese that video of Obama praisiing Al Kahalidi, instead of hiding it and spiking it. Just think if Lizzie had the guts to call the LATimes out on their decisions to hide the truth about hehimself from the american people. Just think if anyone on mediaite, ANYONE, would have filed a FOIA for ANY Obama records like they did for Palins….

Just think what it might be like if we had a real news media in this country, rather than a one-sided propaganda machine for the DNC.

just think what a little smidgen of fairness would bring to the American people; freedom of thepress is a valued thing, too bad today’s press has taken that value and made it completely, totally, unvaluable. They are nothing anymore…no honesty, no integrity, no decency, no shame.

Disgraceful.
Patrick

Can you imagine the nerve of Palin? How dare she not fill her e-mail correspondence with casual racial slurs, nor provide evidence of all those coded messages she sent to Jared Loughner before he shot all those people. Next we’re gonna find out that she never disclosed the fact that Trig is in fact the son of Willow and Fred Phelps. What a bitch!
Keep digging lefties, you’re bound to find something that justifies you’re not at all batshit pathology regarding a former vice presidential candidate on a Republican ticket that got its ass kicked 3 years ago and who last held elective office in July 2009. Heed the words of the world’s first autodidactic obstetrician, “Do not under-estimate the appeal of a beautiful, big breasted, divinely chosen warrior-mother as a military leader in a global religious war.” And hell, if all else fails you can always make fun of her Down’s Syndrome-afflicted toddler again. That always seems to cheer you guys up.

Sorry Lizzie – you blew it with this anti-Palin piece. You didn’t think out of the box, you didn’t break away from the libearl mind meld. you wrote a snark piece about Palin because that is what you lefties do.

not a chance did you read them for substance, nor would you or your kind ever produce anything of substance regarding this good, smart, Christian woman, who led her state in a fabualous manner. Nope, you just snark about the baby because she didn’t kill him when she learned he would be disaled. That is beyond the pale for lefties. there is no such thingas pro-choice inyour minds, it is pro-abort and be done with it.

You couldn’t step away from the PDS for even one article…nope, it wouldn’t be right to break away from the liberal hatred of Palin to admit that all these years th eliberal media has been completely wrong about Sarah and that the lies and slander spread by the so-called US media is now proving that you folks are indeed useless to the people; reporting truth and fact is beyond your ability.

And I use the word Your as to be all invlusive of theliberal left media nincompoops who spread the hate and lies about Sarah because you fear her so much.

Seriously, just when you think the journalists in this nation cannot expose their wanton biases to any greater extent they stoop lower. What is so revealing is while they are obsessed with this woman who holds no office a scandal breaks concerning a standing politician and for a time they actually lectured that we should pay no attention.

Weiner lied, was found to be a serial sexist, and he tried to sell a hacking scandal to mask his self-obessession. Many in the press chastised Americans for caring about it, and for not focusing on the wars and the economy. Meanwhile these same scolds are chasing Palin on an unspecified tour, carping about her refusal to capitulate with them on her itinerary, bitching about her use of the American flag on her bus, mocking her account of Paul Revere, and scouring thousands of pages of her emails with the faint hope they can FINALLY get some kind of dirt on her to use in screaming headlines.

The press has become like that drunken collegian you see in a bar late at night. At first you feel bad for them; but then when you approach and try to prevent some damage they become louder and more obnoxious to the point that you just sit back and watch with satisfaction as they become utterly self-destructive.

Bunch of BS…..If it was found out that some convicted felon made a shady house deal with Palin or that she spent 20 years in a racist anti-America church for 20 yrs and had that hateful preacher of that said Church baptize her children……you, Lizzie, would be having a field day along with all your Liberal minions.

I can’t imagine what the lame stream media would do if it was discovered that Palin used to hang out with a self admitted terrorist, some who say Obama started his political career in his living room, who actually set off bombs at US Government buildings!!

That liberal double standard crap doesn’t work anymore…..at least to the masses who have an ounce of common sense!!!
btw, the liberal racist card has also been over played and no longer holds the meaning it once used to! That is sad!!!

I’m quite confused by the attacks on the author of this article. This stuff may not be newsworthy, but the ENTIRE point of the article is that, contrary to the expectations of Palin’s critics (myself included), the emails reveal very little that paints Sarah Palin in a bad light.

How is “liberal critics wrong, Sarah right” a dig at Sarah?
LOGICandREASON

The bad blood coming from this futile witch-haunt will obviously comeback to haunt the Liberals/Democrats/Progressives.

When the conservative media/bloggers and investigative journalists begin to file for release of records of Democrats who have left office or currently serving, I hope people will remember that it was the Liberals/Democrats/Progressives and their cronies in the media who started the witch-haunt in a pathetic manner.

Reality_Check

Another humiliating embarrassment for mainstream media. Sarah Palin has been subjected to an unbelievable and idiotic media colonoscopy by left-wing news organizations on a sad and shameful mission to destroy. History will show that the pathetic Palin email frenzy backfired on her meat-headed media antagonists. Exposed once more as nothing more than elitist idiots. And it couldn’t happen to a more brain-dead, politically blindly-loyal, banal, brainwashed bunch.
Nature Freak

Michael Palin, one of England’s best comedy talents in recent British history, weeps over the fact that he has the same last name as Sarah.

Ironically I think Michael did one of his travel specials in Alaska about 10 years ago.

Coincidence?

I was surprised how many in the media had never seen the letter to Trig before. All these people who *despise* her have never even read her book.

She talks about the letter in her book, and it’s a very sweet story.

Not surprising at all. Progressives live in an echo chamber…It’s the only place they are comfortable. In the market place of Ideas Progressives have a habit of sticking their fingers in their ears and reading the signs held up by their tour guides. This mental isolation, for the Progressive mind is Freedom; the Freedom of surety without critical examination. Freedom to not have their rather limited world view sullied by the messiness of debate.

Everything the Progressive left knows about Palin they were spoon fed by the professional haters and paid media hacks. That to a Progressive is the way politics works. Just wait, these same Progressive media tools will with a few days turn reality on its head once again, and find a way to cast the mundane nature of these email as ‘Proof’ of something else to disparage her.

Implicitly, the Manning submission is an example of the libtards being “hoist by their own petard,” as those Greenwich Village bombers were in 1970, as a pertinent example. “Essentially, these highlight the inanity of the emails…..” should be amended to say, “the inanity of the libtard mindset that believes that combing years-old data dumps is anything but a distraction from Obama’s malfeasance in office, his inability to do anything except talk, talk, talk…while spending borrowed money like a drunken sailor. When interest rates shoot skyward at the end of June after QE2 ends, Obama is toast, and he already knows it.

BTW, wouldn’t it be less a completely hypocritical exercise if Columbia U was forced to reveal this affirmative slacker’s GPA & his “disappeared” senior thesis on nuke exchanges & disarmament? Or his state senate campaign funding sources, which also mysteriously vanished? But the libtards are stupid, hypocritical and nothing will ever change their standard bearer, the lamestream MSM in all its lyin’ cheatin’ BS.

Michael Palin, one of England’s best comedy talents in recent British history, weeps over the fact that he has the same last name as Sarah. Ironically I think Michael did one of his travel specials in Alaska about 10 years ago. Coincidence?

Media bias has been an issue for years now. With of course the liberals claiming that there is none. What’s happening rite now is in your face proof that there is, yet they will say that there isn’t or not say anything at all.

It’s actually quite amazing that so much can be made of Palins emails. What exactly is the problem with her? People who hate her the most couldn’t tell you. She’s dumb? She’s flubbed some question or pronounciation? So what? She’s not running. Not even in politics. Yet we just went out of our way to read through 24,000 emails? If this doesn’t justify the term “PDS” then water isn’t wet.

But back on topic: Bias? Only the literaly brain dead or deadpan face liers would claim there is not. We had information on Obama that was truly assailable but no one cared. On Palin we have nothing but she is stupid and evil. Only a liberal would take this stance proudly or try to deny it.

Unflippingbelievable.

Fact: I thank God everyday that I was not born a bumbling idiot liberal. Yes it is part of being a Christian to have morals. When God gave out morals the liberals thought he said more holes and spent more tax money on stimulus building them and borrowing money from China too. Now all of the economy as a whole is so screwed that the tax payers can dig their way out of there debt.

Whoa. In a sea of dumb remarks, that is a very, very, dumb remark.

Would you care to acquaint us with whatever it is that you use as a substitute for the thought process that would get you from 1) “That’s not funny!” to 2) “I bet it’s funny to liberals” to 3) “It’s sad that liberals would find that funny.”

This sort of fantasy circle-jerk (aka tautological self-abuse) is all too common among many of the rightwing posters on this site (among rightwingers worldwide, actually).

And because in the absence of some sort of thinking, the most charitable assumption I can come up with is that your hands have been taken over by typing demons and they’re quickly getting to your brain.

And I’m profoundly grateful (not to any mythical sky-guy, of course), that I wasn’t born . . . you.

Life is complicated enough without that impediment.

1, Obviously, he thinks it’s not funny. 2, He thinks liberals would find it funny. (Because your stupid) And 3, He finds it “sad,” that liberals could be so stupid and find that funny.

Whats so hard to understand about that?

Alaska is the ‘Saudi Arabia’ of Natural gas. Given that, I find it hard to believe that the emails would not reveal a governor who’s dealing with very strategic energy issues and with many hard-hitting stories. These highlights seem a bit absurd.

Her trig story was beautiful, so thanks for including it. My friend’s brother is autistic, and his parents take him everywhere because they have to. Creates an amazing and blessed bond that few parents have with their kids who of course eventually live their own very separate lives.

Gee, should have read the comments first. Way too many attacks on the author here. Sorry to be part of it…

Palin has been vendicated. There can no longer be any criticism of her.

You’re right “Fox” doesn’t take to the highway. They call her in, give her the questions and answers, “edit “and send her home! God bless the “tea” media!

I would add she didn’t need vindication. The thought that she did is just an example of a liberal victory.

Nothing about palin, yes. They revealed how insanely petty and silly the MSM is. Newsjunkies knew this, but it confirmed the insanity for casual viewers. There are good journalists, just not the majority….

I get it:

1) I think crows aren’t black
2) I bet Zoroastrians think crows *are* black
3) How sad they think that

“There can no longer be any criticism of her.”

Except for her being mean, intellectually lazy, thin-skinned, vindictive, petty, inarticulate, unfunny, erratic, and self-righteous (and about 20 attributes I haven’t listed), yes, you’re right, she can no longer be criticized.

want to compare? One is in office the other not so much (although you sure act as though she is). One has a say over you and yours and is representing us around the world – the other lives in your brain 24/7.

want to go tit for tat? lol (didn’t think so)

All this effort looking for scandal or dirt. In the end they’re going to reveal that she’s a moral person, a good mother and wife, clearly conservative and Republican, but just dumb as a bag of hammers.
