Sarah Palin's promise of a transparent administration has drawn the curtains and locked the doors.

A campaign spokesman says Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin won't speak with an investigator hired by lawmakers to look into the firing of her public safety commissioner.

So the administration is "open" only until somebody uncovers something that requires an explanation? Perhaps somebody should buy Palin a dictionary so that she can look up the word "transparent", I am just not convinced she knows what it means. Oh and she might take a moment to look up the word "honesty" as well.

But it is comforting to know that the oil company lawyers the McCain campaign sent up here are earning their money.
