The Washington Post responds to my offer to help look through Palin's e-mails. Update!

I just now received this in my e-mail account.

Hello from the Washington Post newsroom,

We have had a strong response to our initial call-out on the Palin e-mails. And as a result, we've decided to ask you and everyone else who responded to our initial call-out to post comments, questions, and information related to the e-mails directly to comment threads on The Fix: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix

Starting this afternoon, we’ll be posting digital versions of the Palin emails here:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/palinemails

So, once they begin to appear, we invite you to:

1. Browse the emails.
2. Read what other users have posted about them in the comments of The Fix blog. Take note of what has already has been pointed out.
3. If you find something new, interesting, and noteworthy, post a comment on The Fix blog under the embedded documents. Include specifics in your comment: page numbers, direct excerpts, etc.
4. Discuss what others have found by replying to their comments.

Our producers and reporters will have an eye on the comment streams as they read and report the emails alongside you. We may contact you for further details, by way of your registered e-mail with The Post (not necessarily the address this e-mail is being sent to). If you would not like to be contacted using your registered e-mail address, please specify that with your comments.

Of course this is not news to all of us who were reading the Post yesterday, but I figured I would share with you their official response, which I am sure everybody who volunteered received as well.

So folks it looks like we have a busy day ahead of us, and in anticipation I have cleared my calendar, fired up my Mr. Coffee, and prepared to spend the day sorting through this massive, and way overdue, e-mail dump.

Personally I will be checking in with the Washington Post throughout the day as well as doing my own searches over at Crivella West, and putting together my own posts based on what I come up with.

Your help in the comments section is, of course, more than welcome.

If you DO find something blogworthy, PLEASE make sure to send the link.

Hmm, I wonder HOW Sarah Palin will be spending her day today?

Pouting?

Throwing cans at her  new Arizona refrigerator?

Getting ready to have a Facebook post written for her portraying her as the victim of her own e-mails?

Well though I may not know exactly what she will be doing, I am fairly certain what the expression on her face will be all day.



Oh yeah!  No doubt about it.

Update: While we are waiting here is a PDF, courtesy of MSNBC, of the documents that list all of the redacted emails and the reason they were redacted.

Update2: Here is the first of the e-mails that are NOT completely redacted in a Washington Post PDF. Currently they only go to February 20, 2007.
