Interesting profile of Anne Kilkenny, who knows Sarah Palin incredibly well, and how an email Anne sent originally to friends got passed along to others and went viral across the Web; because this email contained personal, original insights into Sarah Palin's character, its massive re-posting has made her a pseudo celebrity. Solid reporting on who Kilkenny is, her background and connection to Palin, which is incredibly important in framing this email. The reporter keeps his/her distance from the original email a bit, and objectively critiques what is and isn't verifiable within it, offering additional context.
