Another Sarah Palin Email Controversy?
Is Alaska Governor Sarah Palin taking I.T. tips from Dick Cheney and Karl Rove?
As Mother Jones first reported, her office, responding to an open records act request, refused to release about 1100 emails involving Palin and her aides, citing what seems to be an iffy claim of executive privilege. And now another email issue has emerged: Palin's use of a private email account for her official duties.
Emails obtained by Andrée McLeod, the independent government watchdog in Alaska who filed that opens records request, indicate that Palin, who is running along side John McCain to replace Cheney, has used a gov.sarah@yahoo.com account--rather than an Alaska state email account--for official business. As McLeod, a registered Republican, points out, this raises at least two potential problems. One is security. Is Palin conducting state business outside of secured Alaska state servers? Another is transparency. Can her emails on this private account be properly maintained and archived? Can they be reviewed in response to, say, an open records act request?
To date, nether Palin nor her spokespeople have had anything to say about the withheld emails or her use of a private email address for state business.





























Please keep it up. These are the type of things we need to know.
They will stall until time runs out so no media can truthfully examine if any laws were broken? She takes good notes from Rove/Bush/Chenney team.
Are you going to look up Obama's emails too-I have not seen anyone trying to dig up anything on Obama- Be fair and look for the dirt on everyone- or don't dig up dirt at all. Your attacks on Palin make it real easy to make a voting decision.
Makes you wonder how Dick Cheney in drag could have ever won a beauty contest.
the real pigs are Micheel and Oprah my opinion. they are racist and evil, no one is perfect but Govenor Palin I feel is a great mother,wife sister, daughter, and a friend to good people, not all republicans are bad & nor all democrats bad. McCain is a good man ,Nobama is an egotist,illusions of Cesar
Sarah is a real person who believes in God..These people are trying to take away the flag, God, and I asure you when the democrats get those judges in office none of us will have rights. People better wake up. So what if she was a Pencostal. The Clinton's had the United Pencostal church sang when He was elected President. What ever Palin's views are, we know she is not going to take our US Flag down, teach our kids same sex marriage and no God. Thats very important!
What's the difference between Palin and Chenney? Answer: Lipstick. What's the difference between a male conservative and female conservation? Answer: Lipstick

Someone here said it! If Obama appoints judges to the Supreme court, we'll lose what little rights we have left. Yes, I know, the Patriot Act, the REAL Id. Phone and email privacy violations I don't like that either, but with Obama
we'll have bloated Government and you know what comes of that. High taxes and CORRUPTION!!!
hey why aren't you guys writing about obama or you are just picking on sarah
Get a life you people! You evidently have too much time on your hands to be reading this type of junk!!!
I do know one thing, it is not very christian of her to be such a blatant liar.
Interview with Palin on CNBC (from YouTube) before she was selected VP nominee in which she was questioned about "troopergate" and states she's open to questions cuz she has nothin' to hide. Then she says she doesn't know what VP does:

Now, McCain's campaign says that she won't be talking to the committee investigating the allegations. If reform is their bread and butter on this campaign, how can they go about stonewalling and claim to be agents of change????
Are you kidding? Have you opened a newspaper, read the TV or logged on to the internet for the past year?
Every single thing about Obama's life (including his elementary school essays) has been dug up, explored, taken apart and posted on Youtube.
The only reason there is so much focus on Palin's details right now is that she JUST entered the race, and is newer to national scrutiny.
P.S. This was addressed to "Julie" and "Herman Avila", above.
P.P.S. Fitzman obviously has plenty of time to reply and respond. This article matters, because she's campaigning as being honest and open, and is sending emails without public records; public records are the basis of open government.
Yeah.. Don't pick on Sarah. Everyone knows she can't defend herself.
Are YOU kidding??? We know NOTHING of oloser! He NEVER states anything of substance! It's all "change", "hop"e, blah, blah, blah!!! We know more of Palin in the last 2 weeks than we've ever know about oloser! All you have to do is read the headlines to see where the media is!!!
Big deal! Get the email police to arrest her!
Wow...it is so sad to see how closed minded and fanatical the conservative movement has become, I am ashamed.
Left wing/right wing, black/white, blue collar/white collar who cares really think about it what is the difference? Really what is the difference? Do you know or you quoting a sound-bite delivered to you via FOX, CNN, CNBC, or some other agency that calls it-self fair and balanced.
Have you really opened your eyes and researched for yourself who a person is? Or have we lost site of how to do research, i.e.; Americans forgot how to do math without a calculator.
Is John McCain good for the country? Or is the Manchurian candidate from Illinois good for the Country? Do your research and stop quoting the media who is probably responsible for a great deal of errors in our history from the beginning to the inevitable future.
Mary Reynolds, Just who has taken YOUR flag down??? With the current economic meltdown in our country, why are you obsessed w/ whether or not two men or two women get married. Get your priorities strait!
I think makes the average look like a setting hen if they think she is top of the heap -- also, when voting on issues why is it that two people (husband & wife) using same email address can't vote. Message comes on screen you have already voted...no no no was James not Helen
