Methinks the Palin-bots are freaking out!

This is an ACTUAL e-mail that one of my readers just forwarded to me.

Subject: Mama Grizzlies In Action for American Values

To: (Name redacted to protect my source. Hah! WE can play that game too!)

Team Sarah
American Values in Action.
A message to all members of Team Sarah
Be A Media Volunteer

Team,

Do you think that the media should be focusing on the issues that our nation is facing (i.e. 9% unemployment, a housing crisis, and gasoline hovering at an average of $3.73 per gallon nationally)? We do too but instead, the media is focusing on the emails of Sarah Palin, a governor that has been out of office for almost two years.

It seems that the Washington Post and the New York Times are both recruiting volunteers to scour through the hundreds of thousands of emails that are due to be released tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. Alaska time. It’s been previously reported that some 2,000 emails will not be released and that many of the released emails will have details redacted by the state lawyers thus making it difficult to fully understand the context of the subject matter at hand. Therefore, we are asking that Team Sarah members go to the following links and volunteer to be a reader/commentator of these emails.


New York Times:

"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."

Washington Post:

"We’ll be posting them here, and are inviting you to comment on the most interesting or most noteworthy sections. Please include page numbers and, where possible, a direct excerpt. We'll share your comments with our reporters and may use facts or related material you suggest to annotate the documents displayed on The Post site. We may contact you for further details, by way of your registered e-mail with the Post, unless you specify otherwise in the comments."

If you are participating in this call to action please join us in the Mama Grizzly Group here and provide any informational updates.

Best,
The Tiny Team Behind the Team

Now I have NO idea if there is really anything of value in these e-mails, but just watching the flying monkeys freak out is already making this e-mail dump one of the BEST things ever!

Still waiting to hear back from the Washington Post, but even if I don't get picked I will be combing through those e-mails on Crivella West with a fine tooth comb. And I imagine that many of you wil lbe right there with me.
