Like Karl Rove and the rest of the Bush/Cheney gang before her, Sarah Palin has been evading public oversight and record keeping laws with what it turns out is an ever-expanding network of secret e-mail accounts designed to keep her cordoned off and unaccountable to Alaskans while she conducts official business:

Gov. Sarah Palin maintained a private e-mail account that she used to communicate with a small circle of staff members outside the state government's secure official e-mail system, according to the Wasilla company that established the site.

The account was separate from the Yahoo e-mail address that was abruptly abandoned by the McCain campaign on Sept. 17, the day hackers penetrated the account and posted pages from it on the Internet. Palin had routinely used her Yahoo address for state business.

Quentin Algood, the owner of ITS Alaska, said a discreet e-mail system was created from an old campaign account, with access confined to "a group of people, her closest confidants and co-workers and advisers and the person she sleeps with."

The existence of additional private e-mail accounts may affect two state probes into whether Palin, her husband and her staff attempted to influence the job status of a state trooper who divorced Palin's sister.

"Fresh face," my ass.

Sarah Palin is every bit the sneak and the snake in the grass as the rest of the rotted-out Republican gang.
