There are 57 comments total but not a single one until:



I smell a rat, but lets let this story develop further before we make judgments.

And to reiterate, these are statements from someone besides Palin. Let's see what others dig up.
The Mat-Su Frontiersman is a local Alaska paper in Wasilla. This is the article is has on its site at issue:

: Knowles signs sexual assault bill

- Frontiersman

Here's the main page of the website where the article appears:

Therefore, it's not coming from a mischievous blog but the actual website of an established longtime newspaper that wrote the article itself and now carries it on its website along with others.

It's become very common for newspapers today to scan and put all their past articles online now from long before the Internet took place. Heck, I do it all the time for historical research and I love it. This site allows comments for any article by design. Nothing appears until now insofar as commentary because most likely nobody had any interest going back to old articles like that in that local paper except maybe some local AK person doing a school paper on rape in AK or whatnot.
