The Gentleman's E-mails

In "Sarah Palin's husband, Todd, was a fixture at governor's office," the Los Angeles Times points out the anxiety involved in preserving the "first gentleman's e-mails," who is technically not a state employee bound by rules of public record-keeping and yet was an influential member of her policy team who attended cabinet sessions closed to the public. It is interesting to note that this gubernatorial spouse also disseminated an Internet posting in which Rush Limbaugh described his wife as a "babe."
