I know-many of you can't stand hearing her name- but I can't help it.

We know Palin owes taxes for per diem (IE 18,000 for eating at home)
She didn't know she couldn't just drive government car for all personal use- it doesn't take a Governor to know that!!! (Bet many here know that!)
Charged for flights for her children.

Now her staff is "defending" her by saying- well- she did those things but... She didn't learn until recently about the car use. As for charging to eat at home, in her defense she cut costs by getting rid of the cook at the governors mansion.
Now Palin is paying back Alaska for children's flights. She's also willing to pay back taxes according to whatever the IRS says she owes. However the agreement states she does not admit to any blame or wrongdoing.

No decency in such behavior- it's shameful.
I'd be ashamed if my mom, sister or daughter behaved in such a manner.
(So no it's not some political shot at some innocent victim. Oh, let's add whines about how the media and McCain treated her to that list of shameful behavior.)

Alaska is a beautiful state- but you can't see Palin's Integrity from there!

It was on the Nightly News that she has paid the money already. Your spreading old information. Its not like she had a big tax lien or something.

Anybody with a High School diploma knows they are not supposed to use their employers (government or company) car for personal use.

Maybe they do it, but they know they'll get in trouble if they get caught.

My post was not only about the money she's reimbursing within the next 120 days or the back taxes she'll be paying when the IRS gets back to her with regards to the total overdue amount owed- it's also about now having her staff trying to defend her actions with some of the most lame excuses.
It's shameful!

Why are you worried about Palin? Not a Palin fan here but I would think you'd be more concerned with the cabinet members that Obama picked; you know the ones who owed back taxes, geez they forgot to pay them..yeah right. Unless you live in AK., I don't understand your infatuation with her. And if you do live in AK. you should know people are tired of hearing about her. One good thing is that she doesn't have a "sheep" following that thinks everything she does is great!

She paid it once it had to be looked into and proved, on the taxpayers' dime, and she was cornered.
