AP INVESTIGATION: Alaska funded Palin kids' travel
Though we've all (I assume) read about Palin charging the State of Alaska per diem for living in her own house, and reimbursing her travel for her hubby and the kids, this is a new report that states in part:
"On Aug. 6, three weeks before Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain chose Palin his running mate, and after Alaska reporters asked for the records, Palin ordered changes to previously filed expense reports for her daughters' travel."
Which kind of makes her look guilty of something, right??? Go read the whole thing. It really is devastating.
Sarah Palin spent on clothes in one month what the average American family of four spends on clothes in 50 years.
But, as usual, you didn't answer the question.
I'll be 52 on 11/23 and I look pretty good: visually and physically (5'2,
120 lbs); but I'm not running for office. (Also not afraid to show my grey,
which is winning the battle.)
Granted, anyone on TV, or on the stump, needs some help to look visually
better; that's a given. But I do remember the right about 18 months ago
totally eviscerating Edwards for his $400 haircuts. When was the last time a
major party: DNC or RNC spent $150K in one month dressing up their
candidate? Or when was the last time the DNC or RNC spent nearly $9K in one
month making up their candidate?
To treat a female VP candidate differently (DNC or RNC) is wrong.
To say you disagree is to agree for the equal treatment of women, which is
totally against the republican tenent.

Sounds like you're a beautiful woman, except for the politics. You're young enough, you'll eventually see the light.
expense for macasara and Chap Stick. That's the problem. My views are
different from yours, but I'm not the enemy. I'd like to think that we're
working for a common good. Two weeks from now we'll have our answer and I
sincerely hope that we can mend the deep chasm that has divided Americans.
I'd hate to see us all fall into the abyss.
Let's agree to disagree, but also let's agree to conscientously work to heal
our differences and come to a common treaty for the betterment of ALL
Americans.
Theresa
for the healing to begin.
Let me introduce myself, Busboy. I'm Theresa and I'm willing to start. Nice
to meet you.

Of course, she won't need any of it when she goes back to Alaska for good.
It's been pretty quiet, doncha think, not knowing where Condi, cheney or bush is?
yeah right.......
oh yeah.... http://www.fuckjohnmccain.com/
"John McCain, an Unstable Man for Unstable Times."
Oh, and he can go cheney himself.
But I thought Palin was experienced and that's why they picked her. Seriously - if she had the qualifications then why do they have to "sexy" her up so much? Is it just to give people like Rush their daily hardnon? At least that might keep him off the pills...
$150,000 in one month!!
What the hell would the expenses be if she became president?
10K a day?
fiscal responsibility. Amazing. Just look at what happens to our nation's
economy when these sob's are in charge: they run it off a cliff, every time.
It's always better to RIDE the elephant than to have to clean up after it.
*sheesh!*
Even would help if they just spent $5 for a spray bottle of Fabreeze.
Hmmm...maybe.
Note to the RNC, the Republicans in the closet have also their fashion sense way in denial.
I find it ironic that the two best dressed congressmen for many years were David Dreier and Mark Foley. Governor Palin can asked David Dreier at least, perhaps Lindsey Graham.
Also, Tell Governor Palin, no more suede boots....

Forget the clothes, Palin needs some serious help on her shoes... once she gets her shoes down, she will look fabulous...
As you can see I spend too much time and energy thinking on this subject...
How come McCain can shuffle around in $500 loafers, and Palin can cavort about in stuff from Saks & Neiman-Marcus, and nobody calls them out on it?
On WHAT PLANET are these two assclowns supposed to be in touch with the concerns of most U.S. citizens?
a) a price of $3.39/6 pack of Milwaukee's Best;
b) Joe The Plumber (TM) can expect to live another 40 years;
c) Joe The Plumber can drink 18 beers a day every day for the rest of his life on two months of Sarah Palin's fashion budget.
I don't think even Joe The Plumber could do that.
Remind me again, who are the elitists?
i think when she returns to Alaska she is not going to find it so easy to fool the people with her "down home act"

Learn to spell. The word is spelled "bilking". Sheeze! Schools these days can't even teach spelling.
get informed.

if you're someone else, do yourself a favor and turn off Fox, Limbaugh, Hannity, et al... and do a bit of reading...
If you're being paid by the McCain campaign to post here, demand more money... they clearly have money to waste...
If you're volunteering for the McCain campaign to post here you're an idiot.

"THE source who told us last week about Michelle Obama getting lobster and caviar delivered to her room at the Waldorf-Astoria must have been under the influence of a mind-altering drug. She was not even staying at the Waldorf. We regret the mistake, and our former source is going to regret it, too. Bread and water would be too good for such disinformation. "
Speaking of Middle Class - when will McCain mention us?
You know the difference between Palin and her free clothes and an uptown hocker?
Nothing.
Sweetie, I actually shop these stores with my own funds, when intown. Palin reminds me of the girls I see with much older men....buying stupidly while chewing their cud. Now, tell me the difference.
Let's talk about McCain spending14 Grand on his make-up….
“Tifanie White, who reportedly has done makeup for the shows "So You Think You Can Dance" and "American Idol," was paid a total of $8,672.55 in September by the McCain-Palin campaign, according to the campaign's latest monthly financial report filed this week with the Federal Election Commission. She was paid $5,583.43 the previous month, records show.”

For months Obama has been making records in small donations from your average American Joe's - you know, the real plumbers. McCain didn't complain then but now he's got nothing. Not plans just attacks on his opponent so he burns down his own legacy by stirring up the pot of racism and hatred calls millions upon millions of Americans “un American” as his ship sinks to the bottom.
Do you think all these donations are being sent to the Obama campaign office in unmarked bills and all in separate envelope of $86.00 each? Have records numbers of overseas envelopes with boo scary stamps and places arrived? Where is the list of all of McCain’s donations under $200.00? Maybe he didn’t want to embarrass himself further.
Maybe if McCain didn't spend thousands of dollars playing dress up with Palin he could have more cash on hand.
But when Obama wins, please know that any of your small donations to McCain was a welfare donation to dress the Palin Children and the First Dude of AK.
Enjoy.
Look, I loathe Palin. But if I were plucked from out of nowhere (aka Alaska) and were middle class (which she is) I would not have the budget for the type of wardrobe and makeup needed for a national office female candidate. If she spent $3,000 for each outfit (including underwear, shoes, suites/blouses/coats) it would not be unreasonable, and she would end up with 50 outfits. OK, I wouldn't go to Needless Markup (Nieman Marcus) myself, but I guess Cindy must have an account there, eh? Plus she probably needed to figure in clothes for Toddie and the kids. (Did you notice how ugly her kid's clothes are? Its like they have to dress ugly so Sarah can look good.) Anyway, I don't think we should pick on her for this. There's lots of other things that we can go after.
For me, it isn't just the clothes. Palin seems to have cornered the market on getting someone else to pick up her tab. There is her cutting the Wasilla budget so she outfit her new office and buy an SUV .There is her charging the state for living in her own house. NOW the state of Alaska is questioning her expense accounts for flying the kids, mostly the girls, to events that were not Family events. Event planners have no recollection of inviting the family to these events. One was an event in New York and the girls were ensconced in the Essex House which is $700 + a night.
Mrs. Palin has experience, experience in how to live the good life without paying.
Um...Sarah Palin is middle class. By who's definition, love?!! Its my understanding that woman is worth over $1 mill!!

Now if that is considered middle class these days then both myself and my paycheck missed the memo and so I need to see a few more zero's at the end of the year!
I should say this, that Pat doesn't have a mink coat. But she does have a respectable Republican cloth coat, and I always tell her she would look good in anything.
One other thing I probably should tell you, because if I don't they will probably be saying this about me, too. We did get something, a gift, after the election.
A man down in Texas heard Pat on the radio mention the fact that our two youngsters would like to have a dog, and, believe it or not, the day before we left on this campaign trip we got a message from Union Station in Baltimore, saying they had a package for us. We went down to get it. You know what it was?
It was a little cocker spaniel dog, in a crate that he had sent all the way from Texas, black and white, spotted, and our little girl Tricia, the six year old, named it Checkers.
And you know, the kids, like all kids, loved the dog, and I just want to say this, right now, that regardless of what they say about it, we are going to keep it. ~ Richard M. Nixon - "Checker's Speech"
