While it sucks that one of her emails was hacked by "the good anonymous", the article also notes that the government was also investigating a separate email account which she uses. That's the account that she is under investigation for the abuse of power, etc.
Karl Rove, yes the same guy that got President Bush into the White House, was on Fox News last night crying about how it's already bad that companies "listen in on cell phone conversations, but this is the government reading your emails. It's obsurd."
Wait, what?
Isn't this what democrats have been saying all along while the Republicans praised the Patriot Act and that the government has to have the power to look into personal phone and email accounts?
Palin's other Yahoo! account (gov.sarah@yahoo.com) had already been hacked, so to speak, by federal authorities who are investigating her role in the firing of Walt Monegan, Alaska's public safety commissioner. Critics charge that Palin fired Monegan for refusing to dismiss her former brother-in-law from his job as a state trooper. (The scandal has already earned a -gate suffix.) After Tuesday's hacks were made public, both private accounts were deleted — an act that could technically constitute destruction of evidence.
The Alaska governor could also face charges for conducting official state business using her personal, unarchived e-mail account (a crime); some critics accuse her of skirting freedom-of-information laws in doing so. An Alaska Republican activist is trying to force Palin to release more than 1,100 e-mails she withheld from a public-records request, the Washington Post reported last week.
And why did Palin agree to comply fully with the investigation a few weeks ago, only to come out this week and say that she will not comply at all with the investigation?
As Chris Matthews said last night:
"I have never in my life seen a party that runs from it's own record like the Republicans have"
He also said that President Bush is "pulling one of those Katrina's" again because we are all worried over the state of our economy and he's nowhere to be found.
In this interview, Congressman Wexler, who came up with Obama's economic plan, goes through the SPECIFICS of the proposed program, while the republican Congressman runs around frantically like a chicken with it's head cut off to try to come up with some kind of answer.
Watch the interview here:
Dems and Republicans weigh in on economy
I found it funny when the Republican Congressman was asked if The Republican Party takes responsibility of the Economic plan that Bush's administration has set in the past 8 years, he answered by saying John McCain has more experience than Barack Obama.
huh?
