Todd Palin has exerted unusual influence on his wife's Alaska government. In Washington, their methods would do Bush and Cheney proud.

    Il Duce de Wasilla 2

    "Palin's office redacted most of what they turned over, and refused to turn over more than 1,000 messages, citing executive privilege."

    This chick is something else! I mean, talk about fascist. As governor of one of the smallest states, she's ALREADY claiming executive privilege in an investigation.

    However, I wasn't aware that spouses of the office holder also had executive privilege, otherwise why would Todd Palin have access to the emails, but not a concerned citizen.
