Since I didn't say it was a blog I'm not sure what your point is.

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.

But to directly address your point, where is the original pdf of that article? If they scan their newspaper to pdf, then where is it? See my point?
Nothing you say invalidates my point that in a hyperpartisan election cycle you have to be careful. The article may in fact be the genuine thing from 8 years ago but since Palin herself isn't quoted in it we can't draw any conclusions one way or the other, so it being a genuine article is still not really relevent.
I did a search of their archives for all of 2000 with "Palin" as the search term. Six hits total and nothing of relevence to this issue. Also, just to totally beat a dead horse, the article you linked in your OP has a number of errors a newspaper wouldn't allow. At least not while maintaining any professional credibility.
