Sarah Palen is the perfect candidate for the GOP...fake image as a reformer; pro: life, guns, killing furry animals...
Turns out she is also practicing the art of making dubious claims or Executive Privilege. If you follow this link you will learn that Palin is claiming "Deliberative Process and Executive Privilege" for seven emails she exchanged with the Lt. Governor of Alaska. On the surface that seems reasonable until you learn that Todd (Private Citizen)Palen was also cc'd on the emails???
Does the husband of a Governor obtain some kind of special decoder ring status that allows him to see documents that later can be denied release under privilege? This pick just gets better and better...
Shadow Governor?

Sorry I thought everyone understood the link above...
Some tidbits from the linked blog...
The stories started last year when Representative Ralph Samuels told me about going into a meeting, he thought would be private, with Governor Sarah Palin. Much to his surprise, Todd Palin was there and proceeded to sit through the entire meeting.
Other lawmakers have shared similar stories and were shocked at how inappropriate Todd's presence was at meetings with the governor. Yesterday on the Dan Fagan Show, Representative Jay Ramras mentioned that Todd was working lawmakers offices during the ACES debate.
The most alarming indication of Todd Palin's reach into state government came just yesterday.
Last month, a group of Alaskans filed a freedom of information act for emails sent from the computers of both Frank Bailey and Ivey Frye. Along with several boxes of documents, they received a cover letter along with 78 pages detailing the emails that were not released due to "Deliberative Process and Executive Privilege".
The serious concern about these emails is that they were prohibited from being released to the public due to executive privilege, even though Todd Palin was copied on these same emails.
Todd Palin is not a member of the executive branch, nor is he even a government employee. Todd Palin is a member of the general public.
I'm nobody...imagine what the MSM and others might learn over the next 60+ days.
