Awesome, another hit-piece on Palin that's based entirely on unnamed sources is going around. This would be the one whose pull-quote source is a waitress that remains anonymous for fear of political reprisals. Uh-huh.

If you're tempted to spread this, drop that shit right now and back off. There are so many better routes to the same end, and you're helping to make our side look foolish.

Sometimes I wonder if these easily-debunked fake emails are deliberately initiated by Rove or the RNC as a sort of inoculation. That way, any real emails about Sarah Palin's very real problems can be instantly dismissed as being as false as the Rove-created emails.

Snopes confirmed one of them -- or at least confirmed that the person in question actually wrote it. Didn't confirm how true/false the contents were.

But why should they have all the fun?

I don't forward emails of any sort, and I've got enough verifiable stuff about Palin to make me twitch without reading them, but come on... The republican side may have looked foolish 8 then 4 years ago, but they also won both of those elections with unnamed sources and verifiably false statements. And they are getting their base all "fired up" the same way this year.

Not one of those hit pieces is going to make someone who would vote for Obama change their mind, or make someone who didn't like McCain come out and vote for him because of how dumb his liberal niece who forwarded that silly Palin email was. And since morons get to vote too, they might as well split their vote this time.

(moderately sick of the High Road today, it makes my ears pop too much....)
