Associated Press article: AP: Palin children traveled on state funds - Decision '08 - MSNBC.com

Some excerpts:
A) 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

B) In February 2007, the three girls flew from Juneau to Anchorage on Alaska Airlines. Palin charged the state for the $519.30 round-trip ticket for each girl, and noted on the expense form that the daughters accompanied her to "open the start of the Iron Dog race."
The children and their mother then watched as Todd Palin and other racers started the competition, which Todd won that year. Palin later had the relevant expense forms changed to describe the girls' business as "First Family official starter for the start of the Iron Dog race."

AND others including
- children showing up uninvited (at state expense)
- children often did not participate in state functions (as was needed to claim expenses) - this "participation" claim from Palin is such a joke!!

What an straight-shootin honest person!!

A similar thread was started a few minutes ago - it originated from a CNN story and the above from an MSNC story - both citing AP.

Isn't it amazing, the amount of time, effort and money spent investigating every day from birth to today about Palin and Joe the plumber but nobody can find any information about the Obama missing years. You know, those missing years from when he graduated from high school [6 years missing] to becoming a community organizer. About 6 years that the media is not interested with investigating.

The media only tells you what they want you to hear. Could they be getting kickbacks from "Sir Obama?"

True Erma,
The media forgot to continue with the story about Michele Obama's nice stay at the Waldorf with her children while on the trail with Sir Obama. What was the bill paid with matching campaign funds? Over $8,000.00 for 3 days! Penthouse rooms, caviar, $200.00 champaign?
Funny how fast that came out in the morning and how fast it was swept under the rug.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! You repubs are SOOOOO predictable!!!

You know,when I was a little girl,if my sister would get into trouble,she would make up something that I supposedly did to try to distract my parents from whatever she did to get in trouble. It's the same thing w/ repubs!!!!!!!!!!Whenever one of your people are found to have done something,like these latest shenanigans of that silly shrew,you start
whining,
"Well,SHE did this,HE did that..." Oh how childish. Stick to the sublect!!!
