Timberwolf, I was thinking the same thing. No one seems to notice that the Alaskan State House and the Alaskan Republican Party seem to share an email address. That is actually worse than personal use of email which in my view is no biggie …. you can use your work phone to call home to check on the kiddies now and then, after all. But conducting the business of your personal poetical career using electrons paid for by the all suffering tax payers (mostly not in Alaskan because Alaska is a welfare state) is a bit of a problem. I want my money back.

What’s with the redaction?

Weren’t some Republicans all over the emails of college professors and others to make sure they weren’t using university email services for personal communications? They want it both ways â?¦ and get it.

If it turns out that she was sending strangers photographs of her genitalia, what would that prove? That she is dumb? This is already common knowledge, and it is not a disqualification from holding public office (unfortunately).

Palin had reputation amongst Alaskans for rampant and rabid racism, as bad about social issues as she is about religion.

She was infamous for calling the native Alaskans “arctic arabs”. And her comments about Obama speak for themselves. (Yes, the source of the claim was never verified, but given how Palin behaves and talks, it’s credible.)

Palin was part of Ted Steven’s and the republicans’ rampant corruption in Alaska, like “the bridge to nowhere” and other pork. If you thought George Bu**sh** was an uneducated rube and a stooge puppet, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

comments via #9.. leave me in despair
These people can type (sort of) and thus read and listen, yet they still drive on to a catastrophe.
I fear our children will cower under theocracy instead of flowering in reality.

We all must rail on against the forces of belief.
Belief is evil … If you â??believeâ? something, it means you have ceased thinking about it, you have just filed it away as â??fixedâ?.
Science is not â??Fixedâ? / by definition it cannot be “fixed” thus is able to wind its way towards truth (as an asymptote).

So far, it looks like it’s helping her.

Even if she emailed naked pictures of herself, Rep. Weiner isn’t resigning and his political career hasn’t ended. So, why should hers?

You, sir, are a dumbass.

Just thought I’d let you know.

Perhaps you can improve.

Nah, her career is not over. Even if something grossly illegal/immoral comes out, her supporters will say something like “it was planted.”

Time for Sarah Palin excuse bingo? Or has that already been done?

Mike.

From the first page of emails, bullets for a discussion with the press were redacted as “privileged or personal material”. Unlikely anything interesting is left after the state and palin lawyers got finished with thier black pens.

Governor Palin,
Here are some bullets that might be useful in your discussion with the press following your first
day of meetings with the corporations & organizations with an interest in the gas pipeline
project.
Privileged or Personal Material Redacted
Pat Galvin, Kurtis Gibson and I collaborated on these comments. I hope these are useful.
