BREAKING NEWS: PALIN EMAIL SHOCKER!!

Hang onto your hats, LSM...the Palin emails are--brace yourselves--about as innocuous as you could possibly get!!!  Not that we told you so or anything.

One in particular is mentioned in Going Rogue...the email concerning little Trig's imminent birth.  It's reposted at ProteinWisdom (welcome to my blogroll, PW) HERE, with commentary that you all need to read now.  (Warning:  An F-bomb or two.)

– This is the Sarah Palin that is revealed here — far from the scheming, manipulative bitch willing to squeeze a slack-jawed political prop from her cooter (or pretend to do so, so that she can cover up that the child is not hers but rather is the illicit love child of her daughter and husband), what resolves here is a portrait of a hard-working, politically savvy governor who is vindicated in nearly every instance from the libels created to diminish her.

It is profoundly saddening to me to reflect on what the media — and many on our own side — have tried to do to this woman, who clearly embodies the very principles conservatives and classical liberals claim to embrace and fight for, and who is clearly (in my mind) qualified to lead this country back from the brink of socialist hell, so comfortable and committed is she to constitutional authority, and so battle-tested is she after having had to endure a 3-year pop-cultural attempt to destroy her and her family.

I hope in their most private moments, Kathy Griffin or Andrew Sullivan or Janeane Garafalo or Jen Rubin — and a host of others I can name — feel wash over them the sudden rush of shame and embarrassment they so richly deserve.

RTWT, and don't neglect the comments.  And, as for the PDS-afflicted morons who wasted enormous amounts of time and effort looking for a "gotcha moment," let me attempt to explain your abject failure.  Most of you likely won't understand any of this, but maybe one or two of you will.

You can't "get" anything on Governor Palin because there's nothing to "get."  Those of you who've spent your lives in a world with no rules or principles, where nothing is what it seems and everyone is hiding some dark secret, simply cannot comprehend that there are good, decent, honest, forthright people in the world.  That not everyone is hiding a swamp of evil behind an insincere smile.  That there are people who mean what they say, and who answer to a higher authority than man's.  You will never be able to comprehend people like Sarah Palin until you look past your oh-so-cool world-weary cynicism and understand that, sometimes, it really is that simple.

I can say this because I used to have the same attitude you all do:  that everything and everybody's corrupt, that standing up for what's right only happens in the movies, that no one is motivated by anything other than fear and greed.  I know better now.  So can you, but you have to learn to look beyond the hurts you've suffered, and the bitterness you carry.  What has your mistrust and cynicism ever brought you except misery?  Why do you wish to destroy a person who's done no harm to anyone?  Why have you rendered yourselves incapable of recognizing Good when it's staring you in the face?  Deep down, you know there are such things as Good and Evil...and at least some small part of you knows the difference.

The first step is to listen to that part.
