Gov. Palin's Site Back Up, Sotto Voce
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s official gubernatorial Web site is back up — to show off a two-paragraph statement about her thankfulness at being chosen to be Ariz. Sen. John McCain’s running mate on the GOP presidential ticket.
Better a day late, than two. Here’s a summary of her technical savviness. We’ll forgive and forget the shock to her site yesterday, that whatever servers she is using could not handle.
But we may not forget that no one associated with the would-be vice president — who has made transparency her supposed signature issue — has ever gotten back with Between The Lines to talk about or explain why the site went down. The demand on the site could, you could easily argue, have been predicted.
