AP Exclusive: Former Palin aide pens tell-all - Yahoo! News
If he's lying, the e-mails will tell. If he's not then he can produce any e-mails that back up his claims. What an interesting situation, a former Palin aide is writing about what everybody already knew was true. Palin didn't quit because of politics in Alaska. She quit for the same reason anybody else would quit: to make more money.
"Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of Our Tumultuous Years" is due out Tuesday and based on tens of thousands of emails that Bailey said he kept during his time with Palin. It began with working on her 2006 gubernatorial campaign and continued through her failed run for vice president in 2008 and her brief stint as governor.
The Alaska attorney general's office has said it's investigating Bailey's use of the emails. Executive ethics laws bar former public officials from using information acquired during their work for personal gain if the information hasn't been publicly disseminated.
The state has yet to release thousands of emails that Palin sent and received during her 2 1/2 years as governor. Bailey's attorney has said Bailey took "great care" to ensure his writings were consistent with legal requirements.
