A media event was held in Juneau Alaska last week, not a place too easy to get to, and the left wing media scrummed to get their hands on 25,000 pages of e-mails sent by Gov. Sarah Palin to look for a smoking gun on a potential, but undeclared, presidential candidate.

So far they have failed to find the dirt they were looking for, in fact, they couldn’t even find some dust to make the trip worthwhile.

Nevertheless, the bastion of left wing journalism and the mouthpiece of the Democratic Party, the New York Times,assigned its own staff to research the e-mails and enlisted its readers to also review them and to provide notes to the Times on what they found interesting.

Here’s the Times’ list of the innocuous subjects so far:

“Selling the state jet on eBay;Palin on transparency in government;Palin game to meet with Pete Rouse;Denying using improper use of power;Concern about transformers;Palin assures Ted Stevens she isn’t running for Senate;Rumors of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy;Concern over a TV news report;Palin on family gossip, ‘I hate this part of the job’;Seeking a correction;Reaction to an Obama speech;A warning to avoid a reporter;Plans for 2008 Republican convention;Palin asks for help identifying media mistakes;A prime time speech at the convention; She can charm the socks off America;Offer to donate a wedding dress to Bristol;Turning down a Wikipedian’s request;A puppy in the Capitol;Wooten and the Moose hunt; A plan for a natural gas pipeline.”

The Times encouraged readers to ‘keep on looking and we will update this list as we add more notes.’

This is but one example of the liberals attack dog, bullying, gotcha, hatred mentality, when they want to destroy the message and the person delivering it if it fails to conform to polices of big government, big spending, redistribution of wealth and a private sector driven economy.

I find the star power that Sarah Palin has generated since her entry as a VP candidate on the national scene interesting and intriguing, and at the same time befuddling as to why liberals perceive her as such a threat, they go out of their way to destroy her personally.

Yet when one of their own self-destructs, e.g., Anthony Weiner, they hesitate to get rid of him until the pressure builds to a boiling point.

Palin has star-drawing crowd pleasing power when it comes to political events and speaking engagements.

I don’t think she will run for the presidential nomination, nor do I think she should.

She is young enough to do this at another time; however, I must admit, from a media perspective, she sure would make such a run more interesting than it might be without her.

Palin can play a more significant role with her plain home grown talk by shaping the messages and policies in this campaign and perhaps leading the Tea Party in a more organized direction.
