In a turn of events surprising to absolutely no one, the recently released Sarah Palin Emails have turned up no dirt, no new controversies, and have been a colossal waste of time. Furthermore they have illustrated how sycophantic the liberal left is regarding Sarah Palin in their voyeuristic pursuit to destroy her. Last week I said:

“What do they expect to find? Who is really going to be scouring these emails for dirt? My prediction is this is much ado about nothing. They will most likely find nothing interesting and will be forced to make something up by twisting her words or creating a fake controversy that no one cares about except for the libs.”

So far I’ve been half right. They have in fact found nothing. However they haven’t thus yet banded together on some nonsense faux-controversy. Mother Jones has tried, making the Sarah Palin Emails the lead story since they were released on Friday. But what most media outlets are finding is Sarah Palin’s public persona is a genuine reflection of her private persona. That she works hard, has a loving family, is a staunch conservative, and practices what she preaches.

The Telegraph brought up some excellent points, essentially declaring this Sarah Palin email fiasco a colossal failure for mainstream media and a victory for Sarah Palin:

“The trove of more than 13,000 emails detailing almost every aspect of Sarah Palin’s governorship of Alaska, released late on Friday, paints a picture of her as an idealistic, conscientious, humorous and humane woman slightly bemused by the world of politics…

“…If anything, Mrs Palin seems likely to emerge from the scrutiny of the 24,000 pages, contained in six boxes and weighing 275 pounds, with her reputation considerably enhanced. As a blogger at Powerline noted, the whole saga might come to be viewed as ‘an embarrassment for legacy media’.”

David Gewirtz write an article acknowledging essentially the same thing:

“I’ve often talked about the difference in tone and style between email and traditional forms of written communication. Email tends to be more casual, so when we read an email archive from someone’s administration, we tend to get a much better feel for that person’s personality than we might from reading a printed correspondence archive from a political leader in times past.

“And so it has been with the Palin data dump. Whether you like her or not is up to you, but the one big surprise coming out of an examination of 24,000 email messages is that there really is no surprise, no shocking inside story.”

Just on an interesting side note, the parade of ignorance surrounding Trig purported by hucksters like Brad Scharlott (who responded in my blog post when I denounced him in April) is put to rest:

“The emails will finally confirm – in all but the darkest recesses of the world of Left-wing conspiracy theories – that Mrs Palin is, in fact, the mother of her youngest son Trig, who has Down’s Syndrome.

“After relentless promotion by Andrew Sullivan, the British blogger who now works for Daily Beast/Newsweek, of the proposition that the mother was in fact Mrs Palin’s daughter Bristol, a teenager at the time, the subject had become part of mainstream debate.”

So the Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome continues. I suspect it will only get worse. The lamestream media simply cannot help themselves.
