stealing from the alaskan taxpayer

Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business.

The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel.

In all, Palin has charged the state $21,012 for her three daughters' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights since she took office in December 2006. In some other cases, she has charged the state for hotel rooms for the girls.

1. Jesus, those children ARE props.

[billyoc]

2. But when I call her on it, I'll be attacking the sanctity of motherhood.

Fucking frontier tart.

5. No, don't question that she took her children with her. Instead

we should question the change in documents. She's making up lies to cover up why she took them on the trips.

She would have been better off just playing the motherhood card and would probably have gotten away with it, for the very reason you mentioned.

But once she started trying to manipulate the facts, then she crossed the line.IMO

17. Falsifying Expense Reports Is Usually a Serious Matter

6. Fucking pigmcmoose!

[spindrifter]

7. So what about the kids' schooling?

Who is teaching them? If the Gov. is homeschooling them, I wonder whether she is really a part-time governor who should not be claiming all that time as "executive experience."

[spag68]

15. She is schooling them!

I'm sorry, it seems to me that she would need a new teacher for second grade.

8. Do These Kids Attend School?

besides the two eldest?

[sad sally]

13. No they don't

the American Hockey Mom's booted her out of their club because she took her kids out of school to go on the campaign trail - no sports, no classroom, no nothing...

we don't need no education; we don't need no thought control...

9. What a gal.

[speedoo]

10. Is Sarah regretting saying "yes" to MLiar?

Is she thinking none of this stuff would have been uncovered had she just said no and been content to stay in Alaska?

Is she thinking she could have easily survived troopergate, just by saying she was sorry?

You betcha! :rofl:

[jazzjunkysue]

11. Have these kids ever gone to school?

I'd like to see their attendance records. The report cards are just a pretense, but the attendance is a matter of law.

[mtnsnake]

14. Wow, it's one thing to be corrupt like she is, but its another to attempt a lame coverup

What a blatant asshole she is.

[elkston]

19. I bet she wishes she NEVER accepted this VP run

Would there ever have been so much scrutiny into her records otherwise?

She could have served her term in obscurity, but her inflated assesement of her "abilties" got the best of her.
