2:26 pmYeah, right, people will look for "interesting and newsworthy" emails. Yeah, and Dems are following Obamas plea for civility.
More like the Hatefest begins Fri afternoon, so Dems come early and come often, so our readers can feel better about themselves, after the Weiner debacle.
We will even give credit to the most snarky, snide, sarcastic person...so don't be shy. We have a terrible President and even worse economy, so we need to divide and distract immediately.

2:27 pmDid the Ttimes do this or ask that all of Obama's emails be released while he was a state Senator? What about Biden? Pilosi? Did they show the emails to the public and ask for help uncovering the "newsworth e-mails"?

2:27 pmWhy didn't you invite people to help read the health care bill before it took effect, so we could know what was in it, instead of having to wait until it was passed as Nancy Pelosi wanted? I am amazed the New York Times is asking its readers to help it find dirt to dig up on someone who is not even in public office anymore. What is your obsession with Sarah Palin?

2:28 pmAstonishing to see how low the lamestream (aka state run) media have sunk. This is nothing more than juvenile junior high clique style gossip and defamation of character. It is hilarious to watch you all jump out of your skin when Sarah says, "BOO!"
No honor or pride left in the journalism business, eh? The professionalism went a long time ago.

2:28 pmThe Times needs to enlist free labor to dig up dirt on Palin? How about volunteers to actually report what the clowns in the White House are doing, especially I'n their off the record coffee shop meetings? Volunteers might actually report some news.

What a bunch of frauds, phonies and hypocrites.

Is she that attractive and interesting that they cannot stop themselves from obsessing over her??. Whatever the case it seems silly and sad that the NYT (The Grey Lady) and the Washington Post are reaching out to hire like minded left of center folks with apparently not much else happening in thier lives to sit in the newsroom and read emails of someone that is no longer an elected official, really????? Is there a point to this ?? Did the NYT and the Washingon Post hire people to come into the newsroom to read the President's 2,300 page health care bill as well??????

Assembling an army of readers under the pseudo banner of "fair" journalistic investigation to find -- and blow out of proportion -- innocent misspellings, misstatements or simply goofy thoughts ? How about Joe Biden's emails? Al Gore's emails? Obama's? Never -- because they are in "the club." SHAME ON YOU!

Anyone who would take them up on this sleezy offer would be in the same gutter as the Times and the Washington Post are for proposing it. But iam reasonably sure, there are at least 100 democrats who would love nothing better than to nose around in someone else's email traffic. Way to America!! Make us proud!!

Where was the Times' offer when El Presidente released the White House Vistors' logs? While you are at it, could you hire readers to find the 2 million jobs the White House has claimed its policies have created? That search might yield more fruitful results of interest.

Recommend Recommended by 5 Readers .56.RicoNYCJune 9th, 20114:37 pmYou know, the NYT probably doesn't think there is much chance of anything explosive turning up in this little exercise in cyber dumpster diving. And they are practically in bankruptcy, so they got to watch them pennies. So, somebody gets a brilliant idea at the weekly staff meeting. Hey, I know! Let's enroll a bunch of rabid leftist volunteers to do the work for free. You know what great joiners those aging baby boomers are. And the beauty is, if they don't find anything, we aren't out a penny. But if they should scrounge up something worthwhile, then we can milk all the credit for it AND can give Palin the kneecapping she deserves just for existing.
