Uhh, John, you can't even decently remodel a "hovel" here in "fly-over-country" for 50 grand...

Maybe she got some remodeling advice from Stevens.

Obviously, if the house actually needed remodeling, there should have been money allocated for it by the legislature. But 50K is a pittance when it comes to remodeling. We were looking into adding a small deck with a hot tub, and the budget for that would be 30K.

But there really is no need for a a gubernatorial mansion to have a tanning bed.

Palin's Frenemy Lyda Green gets more digs in . . .

She was probably adding on a private chapel so she can worship Jebus without being distracted.

Just think what it will cost to remodel the White House when she takes over! $20,000 just to bleach the Clinton stains out of the Streisand sheets in the 'Lincoln' bedroom....

Laura already bleached out Condi's

$50k (in alaska dollars) for a "mansion" she doesn't even live in - meanwhile charging the state for her nights at "home"

At least Todd didn't have to cough it up........

Ok, I can understand the necessity of the purchase of the blinds for the mansion windows.

If Caribou Barbie can see Russia from the front porch, that means that Putin the Air Space Invader can see Barbie. While she's on the tanning bed.

Can't have a hot, horny Russian peekin' through the windows, 'cause that always leads to invasion.

Or something like that.

Didn't another Alaskan Politician get in trouble for fixing up his house?
Hummm??

Who ran the 527 for Stevens?

Hmm, a non issue to me. The 20 grand for flying around her daughters and the 150 grand are issues. The only thing about the remodel issue is the lady likes to spend money, especially when it is not hers.

I wonder if she used " Joe The Plumber".

Bush_Bites · 1 year ago

That's a lot, considering she rarely stays in the Governor's Mansion anyway.

That 50 K included a rewiring job to install a tanning bed. Gotta keep up that beautiful brown body, you know, at govt. expense.

What is Elizabitch going to say about the $50K remodeling job?
Oh yeah, that we are "sexist".

The republiCON days are numbered.
Living it and loving it!

Palin is the gift that keeps on giving. Like manna from heaven.

It's like the Art Buchwald column where he contemplated buying a Rolex watch for the (then-unheard-of) price of $1000. He concluded that if he bought the Rolex, he'd have to buy new clothes, a better car, and eventually a new house in a nicer neighborhood just to keep up with the standard set by the watch.

I agree. A moderate-sized kitchen can cost $30-40K to remodel. She doesn't need the tanning bed, though.

TXfemmom · 1 year ago

Well, why remodel and get blinds, when she didn't even stay in the Governor's mansion and charged per diems to live at her own house?

I've read a couple of news stories lately which report that Palin is *very* ambitious, to the point that even a couple of McCain's own campaign staffers have been coming forward and saying that she's out for herself more than anything else. This story as well as the others which have of late been surfacing about her -- her reported decision to extend a one-day official visit into a week-long vacation at taxpayer expense, the $150K shopping spree at Sak's and Nieman-Marcus with money that also technically isn't hers -- only serve to prove these allegations true rather than call them into dispute. The very *last* thing this country needs is to have someone like this one heartbeat away from the Presidency. We've already had to endure eight years of this with George W. Bush and Dick Cheney -- this country not only literally can't afford another four years of this, I'm not confident that we could even survive it.
