The media is having another Al Capone’s vault moment.
Eager members of the MSM and progressive bloggers have been poring over 24,000 emails from Palin’s time as governor and still, the most shocking thing remains the media’s obsession with a woman they call “irrelevant.”
Irrelevant, really? Nothing says “power” to me than knowing that a bunch of die hard Palin-haters are giving up one of their first summer weekends to learn that Palin thought the media was biased.

Governor, I praise the Lord for you. You / your team are part of an amazing plan that we can’t even imagine. Thanks so much for supporting us,
This is a verse that I received shortly after I agreed to work for you. I have saved it for this day :)
Psalm 28:7 (NIV)
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in song.—

In the Ear: “On a less satisfying note, can it possibly be true that Joe Ralston, the other board member who lost his seat last week, learned he was out by reading it in the newspaper? It seems unlikely, but earmites are saying the new regime is really bad at communicating plans to those affected.”
oops… we need to be more careful in how these folks are informed. I thought Ralston was called.
Lets make sure before any replacements that there’s no annoucement until we make every effort to inform the affected party.
Also, did Greg Wilkenson really transfer to HESS? Who will be DPS spokesman?

Subject: Sunday editorial
In re-reading Sunday’s AGIA editorial, I see where it does say in one spot”…
even the governor admits the tax rate is too high….” That should have said,”…
even the administration admits the tax rate is too high….” It was based on my
interview with Patrick on Thursday, and the error (attributing it to the governor
instead of the administration) came from writing the editorial while sitting in the
Juneau airport for two days last week and phoning in my corrections. We
changed the first reference two paragraphs earlier to “administration” but missed
the second reference (the copy editor on the other side of the phone
misunderstood my dictation of changes to the editorial).
Sorry for the misstated atribution.

Hi IV:
Track and one or two of his friends will be spending their spring break here – March 12-
16.
I’ll hook ’em up with snowboarding and the AK Club… can you hook ’em up with the
Legislative Tour like you did with my parents? That was good.
Track and Britta (and maybe Track’s buddy Jack) would get something out of the
historical/governmental activities here. I think. They could sit in the gallery and watch
sausage being made.
Britta’s parents (Pastor Duane Hanson from Good Shephard in Wasilla) want her to
absorb some of the Legislative process here.
Thanks so much!—
RIDICULOUS AND OFFENSIVE

I looked last night, too. lt’s the same 10 people over and over again, including Ridle. love how they

Shoot. I made the mistake of looking at the ADN blog to find out about today’s “Sarah Palin the
Blogger” I knew I shouldn’t have looked through it!
The first entry I looked at was a slam of you or your answer to the blog issue. The rant sounded
familiar – like someone we may know. It was ridiculous and offensive.
The other entry I looked at was a question about my it said I was trying to get my
“Dad’s best friend the deputy job at (Obviously referring to the Mat-Su guy, Corey
Rossi, whom a lot of game guys were lobbying for – my dad passed on a few conunents from
guys he was hearing from that were favorable to Corey.) I just called my dad, he confirmed that
1.) Corey Rossi is not his best ti-iend 2.) he’s not lobbying for anything for Corey, he was passing
on comments from Alaskans who wanted to make sure I heard their input 3.) he would never try
to sway me to hire anyone 4.) he knows I’m not micromanaging Denby and the choice of
Denby’s teammembers is in Denby’s hands.
It was another offensive blog entry.
And it sure leaves me puzzled as to the rumors that are able to spread like wildfire. Kind of
makes my stomach tum over.
Looking at that blog was also my reminder to NOT waste my time and energy peeking at it to
out what’s on readers’ minds.
Tibbles – where is Denby on putting together his team? Until he gets his deputy(ies) in
there, we’ll keep hearing controversy re: who’s doing what.
