She doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine is, but she certainly models other areas of her administration after the most corrupt President administration in history.Interviews show that Ms. Palin runs an administration that puts a premium on loyalty and secrecy. The governor and her top officials sometimes use personal e-mail accounts for state business; dozens of e-mail messages obtained by The New York Times show that her staff members studied whether that could allow them to circumvent subpoenas seeking public records.
Rick Steiner, a University of Alaska professor, sought the e-mail messages of state scientists who had examined the effect of global warming on polar bears. (Ms. Palin said the scientists had found no ill effects, and she has sued the federal government to block the listing of the bears as endangered.) An administration official told Mr. Steiner that his request would cost $468,784 to process.
When Mr. Steiner finally obtained the e-mail messages — through a federal records request — he discovered that state scientists had in fact agreed that the bears were in danger, records show.

Great post. Is anybody ever going to talk about her education? She attended 5 colleges in 6 years. Finally, she graduated with a BA in Journalism. The typical BA program in Journalism is 3 years full-time (4 if you struggle). She NEVER even worked for a campus newspaper, radio station, or TV station as most Journalism students do. Sarah Palin is a documented moron.
Right on. she almost makes W look educated. Well, maybe not.
One more education thing, and then I'll stop. McCain is proposing 5.4 billion dollars for school vouchers, allegedly helping disadvantaged children. The vouchers will provide 2,000 dollars to parents if their kids attend failing schools. The problem is that the average tuition at a private school is almost 5,000 dollars per year. It's much higher in urban centers where disadvantaged children happen to live. So, rich parents will get 2 grand and have no problem moving their kids to other schools, while the poor get stuck in failing schools. When the rich kids leave, the school's test scores will decline further. Incidentally, research overwhelmingly shows that vouchers have had no impact on improving academic achievement. They have done nothing to close the achievement gap between white children and black children, and they have widened the gap between rich and poor.
This is the same old voucher program that they have been pushing since the 80's. Just another way to separate the classes. It won't work.
