Palin refused to publically release her emails: "executive privilege."

E-mails from the Palin administration are being withheld from the public and the governor is citing executive privilege.

With subject lines like "Fagan," "Andrew Halcro" and even "Alaska Ear," it makes some wonder how those topics could possibly be policy related; especially since those same e-mails were copied to the governor's husband.


Andree McLeod, who tried repeatedly to get a job with the Palin administration, obtained the e-mails through a public records request. The Department of Law says the e-mails are privileged. Officials say the private e-mails within the Palin administration won't be released.

"If this is about executive privilege and confidential information then Todd should not be privy to them," Fagan said. "He's a regular citizen he does not get to be co-governor. We did not slash Todd on the ballot box."

1. And she will resist the subpoena for

her testimony regarding the trooper matter. She does not want to testify in public about the 24 times she and her family and staff contacted the Commissioner trying to get the ex-brother in law fired. And I bet her fundie friends don't want her to be on that hot seat, either.

deserving of wide-spread dissemination.

5. If they were sent to her husband

then doesn't that void the privilege? If they subpoena Todd Palin he can't claim privilege.

6. Since when do governors have executive privilege?

I don't think it exists - especially with all the sunshine laws that have been enacted to ensure transparency in state and local government. Somebody needs to do a Freedom of Information Act request on her ass and see how long her privilege lasts.

7. This is getting spooky now. Just how much like bush *is* this woman?

Has anyone ever seen them together? Maybe one of them is a superhero and the other is the secret identity?

11. Is there any area in which she's not like Dick Cheney?

I've yet to see one.
