Alaska Governor Sarah Palin must save any emails she sent from private accounts regarding state business, a US judge ordered late last week.

The emails must be preserved until a lawsuit requesting that the emails be made public is resolved, Anchorage Superior Court Judge Craig Stowers said. The judge also said emails from private accounts belonging to Palin's staff must be preserved.

Palin and her staff used about a dozen private email accounts for state business, and a Yahoo account belonging to Palin was hacked earlier this year. State officials should work with Yahoo and other email service providers to preserve the emails, including those from accounts that have already been deleted, the judge ordered.

Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, is no longer using private email accounts for state business, assistant attorney-general Mike Mitchell said.

    This woman is mad. Bardot has it right & she's more of a pugilist than a pit-bull. She hasn't got the sense to be a dog. Her understanding of what she is doing is only outweighed by pretty much everything around her. The woman surpasse Bush for being a dimwit & possibly more dangerous as well.
