Palin Guarantees Emails Won't Be Released

By using at least one private email account for state business, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has virtually guaranteed that most of the emails she sent as governor--which are subject to the state's Open Records Act--will not be publicly released before Election Day.

After Senator John McCain, the GOP presidential nominee, picked Palin to be his running mate, a number of news organizations, including Mother Jones filed Open Records Act requests for copies of emails Palin had received or sent. (For a comprehensive list of all the requests received by Palin's office, see here.)On September 22, in response to the Mother Jones request, Palin's office replied that it would cost $2,249.46 to conduct a search of her official email account. This did not include copying fees. The fee was later reduced to $590.06. But money was not the issue.

[Sarah Insurance Fraud]

INSURANCE FRAUD IS ILLEGAL;

Trig's real mother has everything to do with judgment, character & trust for the V.p. elect. This ALSO ties to legal issues. It is said that Sarah claimed Bristol's baby for insurance purposes. Bristol was not covered. We all know how much insurance cost...just for a birth. The cost of long term health care of a known down syndrome baby in the womb is astronomical. Thus Sarah's claim for this birth. Insurance Fraud is illegal. I suggest Sara's Health Insurance company check into this. Surely DNA, a birth certificate and tesitmony from the birthing Dr. would be sufficient to bring show Insurance Fraud....or not.

Now how do we bring forth this questionable birth to Sarah's Health Insurance Company?

Who wants to see her emails anyway? My gawd, if someone looked at my emails I sent at work, they would wonder if I was sane since I receive so many.

Oh I'm losing sleep over the secrets that you keep
I lie awake at nights not knowing what they are
You know it don't seem right locking them away from me
Oh those secrets that you keep!

So much for transparency...this (dare I say) woman has an ego the size of Alaska...why?
I have no idea....my 21 year old daughter could do a better job than she...I would't choose Plain to run a 5 year olds birthday party....

Don't matter, a couple of more weeks and it's back to Alaska. It's their problem. We'll just be glad for the sun coming up again over a happier planet.

Whatcha hiding Sarah? Why would you use a private e-mail account for official business?
Obviously, you have lots to hide. Your 15 minutes of fame is just about over.

She forgot to tell everyone she really isn't the governor. Todd is

[wanked]

She seems proud to have something to hide and not releasing it to the public. .... true Rethuglican style.

Why are McCain and Palin attacking OBAMA? To deflect from their much more serious problems!

PALIN is fast approaching "HER OWN DAY OF RECKONING" on "HER MISUSE OF POWER INVESTIGATION" and it will not be "Good!"

The report will be released Friday, Oct 10!

She has finally agreed to testify but that is simply another delay tactic to try and stop the Friday Report!

The only reason she and her "Co-Gov" husband are now willing to talk is the Alaska COURTS told them they have to answer questions! The same goes for the aids that refused to answer subpoenas!

McCain is as Guilty in the cover-up that has been pursued the last month and should be held responsible for the Delayed Cooperation.

McCains's attorneys have twisted the arms of 5 Republicans in Alaska to take the DELAY all the way to the Alaska Supreme Court!

This is a disgraceful interference in a non-partisan investigation!

It again goes to McCain's judgment in selecting a running-mate that was under investigation!

If he knew about the investigation why would he select her? Poor judgement!

If he did not know then it is clear he did not properly Vet her. Poor judgement!

Either way it shows the chaos in his poorly run campaign and his own Poor Judgment!

Transparency?????

[TheRealMacDaddy]

WHAT ARE YOU HIDING 'CUDA???

[Madison10562]

Shouldn't the media question her truthfulness and character based on her unwillingness to allow access to all of her emails?

Will she soon appear with a confederate flag pin on her other lapel?
Will she soon tell us that cheating and fudging on your taxes is patriotic?

Signed,
Really relieved to not be one of them

May I recommend deep throating Palin? No, not that kind.

We need patriots on the inside of Palin's "organization" to begin leaking for their country.

Theofascism wearing lipstick. Be very afraid.

But Sarah, you just said you had nothing to hide. Does this mean you are an outright liar. Yes, I think it does!

[mudbones]

sounds like chenney/Bush to me

[smark]

Exactly!!! And no matter how much the 2 liars try to say they are Mavericks and will change Washington, in the end, they are just MORE OF THE SAME!!!

Where is the transparency and accountability, huh, Moose Queen???
