The Mad Rants of an Unconventional Soccer Mom

Another in the line of drip-drip mini-scandals that, framed correctly by the Democrats, should completely destroy the Wolf Slayer's claims of being a different kind of Republican and a Reformer:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has billed taxpayers for 312 nights spent in her own home during her first 19 months in office, charging a "per diem" allowance intended to cover meals and incidental expenses while traveling on state business.

The governor also has charged the state for travel expenses to take her children on official out-of-town missions. And her husband, Todd, has billed the state for expenses and a daily allowance for trips he makes on official business for his wife.

So not only is she an incompetent, fact-avoiding, zealot, but she is personally corrupt as well.

She wrote some form of "Lodging -- own residence" or "Lodging -- Wasilla residence" more than 30 times at the same time she took a per diem, according to the reports. In two dozen undated amendments to the reports, the governor deleted the reference to staying in her home but still charged the per diem.

This woman is a diva. She fires people who look at her wrong -- literally. She feels entitled to being reimbursed for own home. She charged tax payers 707 dollars a night to take her daughter to NY. She just another Republican robbing the tax payers, just like Frank Murkowski, who she replaced. How does this make her any different than Murkowski? I guess it's the lipstick.
