Palin's office receives powder-filled envelope
Well, we haven't heard about her today with all the Blago stories...

http://www.adn.com/palin/story/617465.html

A letter containing white powder was sent to Gov. Sarah Palin. It was not immediately known if the incident was connected to letters received by governors in seven other states Monday. Palin spokeswoman Sharon Leighow said the letter was sent to Palin's office in Juneau and was received Tuesday. But Eric Gonzalez, an FBI spokesman in Anchorage, said they are investigating since the cases are so similar.

Gonzalez said the powder will be submitted to a lab but did not immediately know if it had undergone field testing at the state Capitol.

7. Don't say that.
That's the exact same shit the freepers said when one of theirs sent Keith Olbermann white powder. Lots of jokes about how he must've sent it to himself because he's such a drama queen and attention hog--or he snorted it up because he thought it was from his supplier.

We can do better.

4. I doubt Palin was the target
It's pretty common knowledge that she's never in Juneau.

11. Our Governor received a package too
and it also contained a white, powdery substance. According to this article, "similar incidents were reported in or near state Capitol buildings in Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, Rhode Island and Montana."

14. gov palin's envelope
was tested for anthrax or baby powder, but it turned out to contain merely the ashen remnants of her political career.

In unrelated news, it was a particularly lightweight package.
