Snopes deserves a big Thank You.

Actual letter from a woman who knows Sarah Palin personally. Check it out on Snopes http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/kilkenny.asp

It is interesting reading.

1. Snopes is a recommended website
It is dedicated to debunking smears, which nearly 100% of the time are targetted at Democratic leaders, specially Obama.

2. Isn't it nice that this e-mail is true, unlike the so many the RW push out that are lies.

4. Here is an article about Ms. Kilkenny and this letter
in this morning's Anchorage Daily News. http://www.adn.com/politics/story/518490.html

WASILLA -- At 3 a.m. Thursday, Anne Kilkenny unglued herself from her computer and went to bed after spending hours answering an endless string of e-mails from strangers.

By 9:15 the next morning, she had 382 fresh ones in her inbox and her phone was steadily ringing with calls from news media from all around the world.

That's how it's been the past week for the stay-at-home mom turned accidental celebrity. All because of a letter she wrote to friends and family about Sarah Palin.

<snip>

Kilkenny says many of the e-mails she's received want to know if she is for real.

"'Are you you?' they ask," she said.

While most has been positive, a small minority has been critical, she said.

"Wow. Did Palin steel (sic) your man or what?" one wrote to her.

"You have an agenda and you should go to hell," wrote another.

Others have accused her of being a tool for the Democrats. She is a longtime registered Democrat. She said her motivation in writing the letter was simply for people to be informed.

"How's anyone to know if the people who do know don't say anything," she said.

7. "You have an agenda and you should go to hell,"
Wow. Spoken like a true Fascist. I'd love to have HER email address.

Of course, the URW Theocrats have no agenda now, do they?

5. I just wish they'd fix the Condi shoe shopping article...

...since we later find that her office bungled foreign assistance and they seem to make it sound like she had no useful role to fill during Katrina.
