Palin follies — private e-mail, Stevens connections

You wanna use a generic private Yahoo e-mail account to try to avoid Alaskan open records laws, Gov. Palin? Well, then you deserve it when your e-mail gets hacked.

You’re against earmarks but hire a “city lobbyist” when you’re leading a town of 6,000, Mayor Whazzup? And, he’s got Ted Stevens’ fingerprints all over him. Way to be about the “reform.”

Oh, sidebar about stupid Alaska law. In a sense, I can’t blame Palin for hiring a city manager. In most states, by law, a mayor of a city of 6,000, to use business-world terms, is only chairman of the board and is NOT the town’s CEO. Of course, except for a per diem or similar, a mayor of a town of 6,000 in most states is also an unpaid chairman of the board.
