1. Let's see.....

..... the Government can look at all our emails, but no one can see the blesséd Sarah's! What happened to the "If you got nothin' to hide...." argument?

And her husband gets copies of her official correspondence as well as sitting in of government meetings? She's such a maverick!...is that OK for her to say Todd?

2. Palin was reportedly called "the Saracuda" in high school

and the reasons are becoming obvious.

As one reader of the local newspaper in Wasilla summed her up in a comment to a reporter, “she is a kook.”

Everything from “Troopergate” to “Babygate” is in play when she accepted the nomination as McCain’s VP. Palin could have declined the invitation, but she did not. She could have shielded her family from public scrutiny and spared them the overt embarrassment of her hypocritical stances and statements, but she opted to stand in the national spotlight and allow her disastrous conservative values to be illuminated. And for that reason alone, America has the right and the responsibility to vet this woman, leave no stone unturned, for in politics, as it has been said, is a contact sport.

5. This scandal is huge really because it highlights more of the same like no other.

6. Clearly bogus claim of executive privilege

This apple isn't falling far from the Cheney tree. She just needs to work on her sneer. The good thing about this is the first appeal goes right back to the governor's office. The ball is right back in her court. Time to make noise and ask her again and again why these e-mails can't be released. She clearly has the power. Any explanation that does not lead to the timely release of the e-mails will look like a cover-up.
