E-mails between Todd Palin, Gov's aides among hundreds kept secret

Dozens of e-mails exchanged among several government employees and Todd Palin, the husband of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin who has no formal role in her administration, are not being turned over in response to an open records request in the state.

The e-mails are being kept secret ostensibly because they deal with policy deliberations between the governor and her staff, the contents of which do not have to be disclosed to the public. However, Todd Palin's presence in the e-mail chains seems to belie concerns that their contents need to remain strictly in the domain of the state government.

Another possible reason for the withholding is the political damage that could accompany disclosure of the e-mails. According to subject lines of the e-mails, they seem to deal with a public sector union representing Alaska state troopers that the Palins have been feuding with for years as well as one of the governor's main political opponents.

WFT?

"The e-mails are being kept secret ostensibly because they deal with policy deliberations between the governor and her staff."

What, do they have David Addington on this, too?

Even he'd find it hard to justify her husband's role in this whole thing, though, I'm thinkin'.

But who cares about any of this stuff; have you heard about how popular her glasses are????? Now that's news!
