The NY Times and Washington Post deputized Democratic opposition research teams have been sniffing around Alaska for a trail of "dirt."

Errr, do the names Webster Hubbell and Billy Dale ring a bell? You guys are going to have to do better than this.
A good roundup of the NY Times nonsense over at The Right Coast.
