No need to be sorry Mike. Unlike you, I do not have a personal interest in this. Palin does not represent my idealology so I could care a less if she is proven to be corrupt and pay the price. My sole interest in this is your continued inability to be objective in anything related to Palin. I've attempted to point out the errors in your argument but you prefer to look the other way. That is fine. One can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. If you prefer to continue to delude yourself, have at it. But if you're really interested in what's truly going on you might want to start being a bit more open minded and honest. All JMHO.
I'm sure you disagree, so I would ask you to break down, as I have done, what was said and explain how it is in fact an admission of using a private email account FOR government business, and not just of using a private email account (which is fully legal).
