I guess some people don't care that the country is in a recession.

In addition to the bendable straw and Learjet that Palin required, the contract also stipulated that she be picked up at the airport by SUV or black towncar; that her name be registered at (an upscale) hotel under an alias; that autographs not be allowed; that all photographs be taken by a professional photographer; and that personal cameras, cell-phone cameras and any other recording devices are to be turned off wherever she is.

But it was how some details of Palin"s contract with the Cal State Stanislaus Foundation came to light that had Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, outraged Tuesday. A pair of Cal State Stanislaus students said they recovered from a Dumpster parts of the very contract that Yee had sought in a public records request, along with bags of other shredded documents.

"When we have individuals that are deceiving people and obfuscating, we are in deep trouble.

She must have found out about Pelosi's demands. Except Pelosi has us taxpayers footing the bill.

Or the black female congresswoman who had a GSAimo pick her up everyday fro home and take her to Capitol Hill. (which is against the law)

The issue is not about Sarah Palin, no matter how hard the bottom-suckers on the left try to make it into one. This is about the operations of a privately funded foundation and its ties to a publically funded university.

Fail.

Junk issue, just something for Jerry Brown to use to start getting his support group excited.

Wasn't funded with public money, was a privately funded foundation.

Just another angle for Brown and the liberals to try and develop some phony outrage.

Thats the issue. Nice Response. Palin is not spending our money.

Agree with her or not she is making money with appearences and books and speaches. Not robbing taxpayers.

I always find it interesting when folks add the race of an individual when it has absolutely nothing to do with the issue.

Now Clean, if I do a search of the forum please tell me that I won't find a post of yours chiming in on Al Gore's use of private planes, or conversely the absence of your criticism of posters for doing so.

al gore using a private plane is a hypocracy to what he preaches, palin has never said "don't waste your own money paying for jets nice hotels and swanky cars" she HAS said "don't waste our tax payers money on paying for jets nice hotels and swanky cars" big difference.
