Peggy Noonan was not impressed with Barack Obama’s acceptance speech saying at least it wasn’t the usual democratic fare about two-headed children going without healthcare.

Palin’s new communciations director, Bill McAllister, gave a surprising answer when pressed about how the public could get access to those e-mails, when they concern state business and aren’t otherwise exempt from public disclosure.<\/p>\n

Listen to what McAllister had to say about open and transparent government.<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
