I'm tempted to the think that releasing all of Sara Palin's e-mails, both private and official, have set a new standard for 'transparency in government'. It's just a matter of how soon the Tea Party folks will make the same release of information requests of President Obama's email, or whoever they want to attempt dirt digging on.
This could get interesting as democrats will be subject to the same scrutiny that republicans get from the large press syndicates.

Not a chance. Even if such documents were released, for, say, Jennifer Granholm of Michigan, you wouldn't get anything like the feeding frenzy you've seen on this one.
Ha!
IF a dem's emails were similarly released-- who's going to be enforcing this? The same folks who are enforcing all the other FOI stuff that is being ignored?-- nothing like the same media frenzy.
Good heavens, naked congress pictures by a recently married guy who was tweeting with underaged girls and has a name that lets lewd headlines write themselves didn't get the same buzz. Emails leaked when folks over the pond were going to delete them to avoid their FOI version didn't get the same kind of attention.
Heck, did any news station "crowdsource" the wikileaks stuff, even?
I think it's like a rule. We ought to make an entry on wikipedia for the phenomenon where anytime some political partisan's particular ox is getting gored it isn't because the ox is an idiot, it's because the media is biased. You should hear the liberals moan about media bias over Wiener's wiener on their web sites.
You folks need to get out more.
NPR has been all over Wiener for the last two weeks. I think I heard the Palin emails mentioned the day they were released.
Clearly, NPR are shilling for conservatives.
