Palin used her yahoo account for state business. She did violate state law. I'm not familiar with the others, but the issue isn't so cut and dry.

I forgot which Cabinet post Palin was appointed to, can you refresh my memory?

  It doesn't matter. Moral relativism is the name of the game. It would be interesting if the anti-Palin crowd would spend some time looking into all of the criminality from members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Have a look at this list of the most corrupt politicians in the US; then perhaps we can talk about Palin using yahoo. http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-announces-list-washingtons-ten-most-wanted-corrupt-politicians-2010/ http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judic... The fact is this, Palin matters because she's not a Democrat. Democrats have Stockholm Syndrome. When a Republican is corrupt, much of the time, they resign. When a Democrat is corrupt, they get reelected. Re: Marion Berry, Maxine Waters, Charlie Rangel, Chris Dodd. Tom Delay was another bad one, however he was actually charged with a crime and he resigned. Palin is nothing more than a proxy to rationalize bad behavior. Democrats most definitely don't have a monopoly on corruption; however how Democrat voters deal with the corruption is markedly telling.

    "Tom Delay was another bad one, however he was actually charged with a crime and he resigned." And was then vindicated in the courts. Texas has a weird arrangement where the very Blue Austin area prosecutor has a remit for political corruption in the entire state. The same officer recently indicted (now former) Governor Perry for threatening a veto, a rather unique take on a constitutionally enshrined executive action.

Why exactly would Clinton go to the trouble to set up a mail server? Did state.gov run out of email addresses? Given the Clinton history of obfuscation and secrecy, Clinton's intent was far from innocent. She went out of her way to do this. The question is why? Pointing a finger at Palin is silly. Palin didn't hire some mystery person to hide Cabinet level communicatiins from public scrutiny. Palin wouldn't be smart enough to have that sort of intent. The Clinton apologists are beyond help. Clinton could shoot a puppy on live TV at while at a Papal audience and someone would sputter that Palin once hunted moose. Remember this is the same Hillary Clinton that said she came under sniper fire during a Balkans visit. Brian Williams was crucified for the exact same chicanery and Hillary is being seriously considered as presidential material? The double standard is astounding. Brian Williams can't read the news but Hillary can run the country? Is half of America just brainwashed? Does the entire Democratic party have not a single trustworthy candidate that Clinton is the default? Even Elizabeth Warren lied about her being a Native American. Is there anyone else? I can deal with honest policy disagreements between Republicans and Democrats, but I can't abide politicians like Clinton that have made a career from deception. I am certainly no Obama fan, but I am glad he beat Hillary. She's pathological. America can do much better. We can dump all of the Karl Rove Republicans and the Clintonistas and our government would be a much better place. I have no use for the lot of them.

  Sarah Palin isn't as dumb as you think. She's got more political smarts than you have book smarts.
