In my opinion, it is ridiculous.
They spent more time reading her emails then she spent as governor.
The most logical reason they took so long was because they needed to manage her image as she ran for national political office.

Just a link from google, not my blog. I think it's important to provide something resembling a source when I make a factual claim.

Like this one from the Anchorage Daily News.

Not an impartial panel of citizens and lawyers, or folks lacking direct or indirect ties to the authors of the emails or any court. Just insiders.
Especially considering this was a governor that "had violated the ethics law covering state executive employees."

This woman is quite transparent. She clearly wants nothing more than attention, she'll do anything to get it, and when it isn't coming any more, she quits.

Pandering to stupid people has its benefits (they'll believe anything you say), but it isn't foolproof (they have short attention spans).

Here's a little Palin historical revision on Paul Revere:

She is just dim. Plain and simple. Not Presidential material and probably not gubernatorial material for that matter.

Did you see the Jon Stewart bit on this?

When asked about this she complained about "gotcha" questions, and they replayed the clip with the question and it was "What have you seen so far today and what are you going to take away from your visit?"

She's so concerned with presenting some twisted vision of the founding fathers that she just can't help doing stupid crap like this. She is a joke.

60 times!!! You'd think he'd have enough to do with a crumbling economy(double dip recession with Canada begging them to get their spending under control), spending more than all the previous Presidents combined, 2 inherited wars (one doubled down on) and a new war.

He is a horrible, horrible President. No leadership. The French even think he is a wanker(pretty much corned him on Libya), Putin just uses him as a receptacle. And within 2 month has alienated to of the US's strongest allies again.

And Palin is stuuuuuupid?
No leadership indeed. He just willed a healthcare bill that has been on the agenda of every progressive US President since Teddy Roosevelt. Not to mention stopping the world economy from a total freefall which would have caused Great Depression II. Ohh yeah, he made the decision to act on the intelligence to kill OBL. Not bad for a just a community organizer.

She is pretty much just a celebrity.
