Weinergate Development Takes a Back Seat to Palin Emails

(By Michael Alan)

As the mainstream media descends upon Juneau to do opposition research on someone who hasn’t been governor for almost two years, a crucial development in the Weinergate story–about a sitting Congressman that may very well have pursued underage girls–is being completely ignored.

Any one wanna take bet when outlets like the New York Times or Washington Post will start doing their jobs and covering this?

Police [in Delaware] are investigating direct online communications between New York Rep. Anthony Weiner and a 17-year-old girl and are looking for any other young women who may be involved, though the nature of the communications wasn’t immediately clear.

While the MSM has been playing “investigative journalist” with the Palin emails, conservative blogger Patterico has been picking up on the amazing work of Andrew Breitbart’s team and actually investigating even further. While it’s unclear what information Delaware authorities are acting on, Patterico has compiled a disturbing set of evidence that seems to validate their suspicions, which can be found in a series of posts on his blog (Part I, II, III).

Update: The Times will be covering the story in tomorrow’s paper . . . a full six pages behind their complete coverage of the Palin email exposé.
