Sunlight Foundation Announces 'Sarah's Inbox'

Posted by timothy on from the so-very-much-unveiling dept.

Eponymous Hero writes "In a sequel to elenasinbox.com, the publicly released emails of Supreme Court justice Elena Kagan, Sunlight Foundation has unveiled sarahsinbox.com to offer you easy access and search to Sarah Palin's recently released emails. If that doesn't flip your bits, have a gander at some of the tools Sunlight Foundation offers relating to government watchdogging, like Poligraft, or Inbox Influencer."

    Keep our attention off of what is really happening that could make a difference in our lives. Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain!

      Indeed. Call me when we have a similar facility for people on this list.

    Being convinced and being educated are two totally different things. I'm not saying i want to read through all her mumblings, but if you really have a theory about her, prove it.

    Can we please stop paying attention to this nitwit? Wasn't her 15 minutes up a LONG time ago?

      Speak for yourself.

      As someone living up here in the Northeast, when you come up here to lecture us about history (there are 391 years of it here), you'd better know your shit.

      But no, she came up here, didn't know, tried to make some sort of point that I'm still trying to figure out, and is arrogant about it. And that's just recent history. Just trying to parse her word salad on a day to day basis must make any political aide or reporter go insane.

      Yet she has aspirations to be President some day.

      Stupid isn't bad, if you're not bull-headed. Arrogant isn't bad if you know your stuff. Stupid *and* arrogant? You really want that?

      The hatred is not irrational.

      I would like to introduce you to Joe Biden, Vice President and first in line to become POTUS. . . . . You were saying?

    This sort of email sifting is more about drumming up negative publicity for one's political enemies than watching out for government abuse.

    If you really want to find government abuse all you need is thomas.loc.gov. Most if it is documented there.

    Public servants do not have an expectation of privacy on their official e-mail accounts. In fact, public access and scrutiny is essential to validate that they are behaving as the public wishes in their official capacity. Your concern is invalid.
