State of Alaska Prints Out Palin's E-Mails; Online Distribution 'Impractical'

ZipK writes "Three years after numerous citizens and news organizations requested the release of Sarah Palin's gubernatorial e-mails, the State of Alaska is finally making ready to make them available. In print. In Juneau. News organizations must fly or sail to Juneau and pick up the 24,000 page disclosure in person. The state claims it impractical to release the original electronic versions of the e-mails, so the Associated Press, Washington Post, New York Times, Mother Jones, ProPublica and MSNBC each plan to turn some or all of the printouts back into searchable, easily distributed electronic data. Thanks, Alaska." Where's WikiLeaks North?

I am not surprised at this, but I agree it stinks. Palin seems to have some very loyal/scared shitless followers and way too much influence up there (or anywhere else for that matter). I am of course biased but I consider her to be:
A) The stupidest and most ignorant politician I have ever heard speak.
B) A massive threat to the USA. Stupid people will listen to her and vote for her in their ignorance, and there is no shortage of stupid, ignorant people.

From what I have read she has a frightening temper when she thinks she's been wronged and a strong preference towards exacting petty revenge. The article I read on her that the author was almost unable to get any comments about her at all from the people who lived near her, or who had worked for her and it seemed to be induced by fear.

Palin is a dumb bitch who should be slapped.

The Koch brothers are evil dicks who should be kicked in the nuts.

See, I'm both a misogynist and a misandrist!
