Sarah Palin's former staff asks for delay in releasing official emails for the 15th time
Source: ny daily news

Call it the "Request to Nowhere."

A more than two-year-old request from news organizations for access to Sarah Palin's emails during her time as governor of Alaska has again been swatted back by Palin's former staff.

On Monday evening, Palin's former staff in the Alaska governor's office asked the state's attorney general for their 15th postponement to requests to release nearly 25,000 emails exchanged by the former governor, her husband and her staff, MSNBC reported.

The requests were made by several news organizations, including NBC News, MSNBC.com, The Associated Press, Mother Jones, Pro Publica and the Juneau Empire, in 2008 after Sen. John McCain picked her as his vice-presidential candidate.

State regulations allow the attorney general to approve a delay if information released in public records would hurt the office of the governor, and three different attorneys general have received requests from the office to delay the release of the emails since Palin was in office.

15. With lots of misspelled words and bad grammar, too, I'd expect.
A typical Todd Palin email to someone who has criticized his wife: "fuk u u fukken fagot Ill skullfuck ur mother"

5. They did release her emails from during the VP run.
She tried to avoid disclosure by some kind of stunt, but WL slammed her on it.

Am I dreaming this?

9. I may have 'missed' them then.
If we're not dreaming, I suggest someone sends the NY-daily staff the links to them.

Can't wait! :)

11. Here...
http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/palins-private-e-mail-hacked-posted-net

"The internet activist group 'anonymous', famed for its exposure of unethical behavior by the Scientology cult, has now gone after the Alaskan governor and republican Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

At around midnight last night the group gained access to governor Palin's email account ... and handed over the contents to the government sunshine site Wikileaks.org.

Governor Palin has come under media criticism in the past week for using pseudo-private email accounts to avoid Alaskan freedom of information laws.

The zip archive made available by Wikileaks contains screen shots of Palin's inbox, two example emails, governor Palin's address box and a couple of family photos. While the emails released so far reveal little, the list of correspondence appears to re-enforce the criticism that Palin is mixing governmental and personal affairs."
