All I want to know is why the left is so afraid of Sarah Palin?
NYT Asks Readers to Help Dig Up ‘Interesting and Newsworthy’ Palin Emails (AKA Anti-Palin Dirt)
By: Clay WatersJune 09, 2011 15:46 ETEarly Thursday afternoon, Derek Willis posted on the paper’s “Caucus” blog a request surely enticing to the paper’s online liberal readership: “Help Us Investigate the Sarah Palin E-Mail Records.” Ken Shepherd at NewsBusters says enlisting newspaper readers to pore through the email trove ”indirectly amounts to free oppo research for the 2012 Obama campaign.”
On Friday, the State of Alaska will release more than 24,000 of Sarah Palin’s e-mails covering much of her tenure as governor of Alaska. Times reporters will be in Juneau, the state capital, to begin the process of reviewing the e-mails, which we will be posting on nytimes.com starting on Friday afternoon E.D.T.
We’re asking readers to help us identify interesting and newsworthy e-mails, people and events that we may want to highlight. Interested users can fill out a simple form to describe the nature of the e-mail, and provide a name and e-mail address so we’ll know who should get the credit. Join us here on Friday afternoon and into the weekend to participate.
Sounds like a liberal party at the Times this weekend. But where was this crowd-sourcing investigative enthusiasm upon the release of the 2,000-page Obama-care bill, when it could have uncovered all sorts of expensive hidden surprises?
The Times was actually beaten to this game by the Washington Post, who made a similar request (it’s a more formal process than the Times’) just after noon on Thursday.

Don’t you love it. The elitist left are constantly underestimating the citizenry. It is over their heads tha each time they go after Sarah Palin her fan base increases.
If they are so desperate to find dirt, then they should look in their own backyard starting with the dictator in the White House
It is awesome to see the left so lost, they don’t know what hit them, they keep asking what kind of truck was it
