Alaska Must Release Palin E-mails By May

Posted by Soulskill on from the hitting-fwd-is-complicated dept.

An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from msnbc.com: "The state of Alaska has until May 31 to release about 25,000 pages of e-mails from former Gov. Sarah Palin and senior members of her administration, the state attorney general declared Wednesday. ... the delays in dealing with public records from the Palin administration will have stretched out longer than the Palin administration itself. She was governor for 966 days. By May 31, the request from msnbc.com for the official records will be 986 days old. State regulations usually require records to be made available within 10 days, but state officials said they were overwhelmed by the volume of the e-mails."

    This must be news on Slashdot. If it was for a predominant democrat. it would be less newsworthy. As probably just some crazy propaganda from Fox News.

    If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.

      Actually I'm surprised Sarah used a public e-mail account while the Gov of Alaska...I would have thought she would have subscribed to the George W. Bush school of...wait did Bush go to school?

      We need the emails because Sarah Palin instigates the same morbid fascination that a train wreck does. We need to know why she's so damn stupid.

      The only person stupider than her is Michele Bachmann, who isn't even bright enough to look into the network cameras and thinks that John Quincy Adams "worked tirelessly until slavery was ended"

      I think Republicans in general are cool and "don't afraid of anything" but the Teabagger Base (use your fundament, baby) is odious, despicable, and one misfired suicide bomber from being American Taliban.

      "Spiritual Warriors" - pfui.

      P.S. Palin/Bachmann 2012 - to immanentize the Eschaton.

      Do you really think someone who gets to be Governor of one of the states in the US and become the de facto leader of a multi-million person movement is "a total idiot"?

      Yeah, pretty much. Plenty of stupid people vote you know. Half the populace has an IQ less then 100.
      I'm sorry if that sounds elitist, but anyone that would willingly want to put her in a place of political power is a bigger idiot then she is.

      And WHY have I decided that she's an idiot?
      Well, from every instance I've seen of her on television, most of her political decisions, and from a judgment of the crowd that supports her, both the general populace and individuals I've met and chatted with.

    If they redact everything embarrassing to Palin... that's pretty much everything she's ever said, isn't it?

    I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.

    The sheer quantity of people like Sarah is small... Right now it's a very limited group, and I don't lose sleep over it because they are marginalized. But if they ever come to power.....

    Like Obama. He's exactly what you claim to be afraid of, a plutocrat (sure a slightly different flavor of an oligarch than a plutocrat) populist with an ideological agenda. And he has profited financially quite well by his political deeds.
