		<description>Isn&#039;t changing the &quot;three day vacation&quot; into state business like changing the descriptions on the reports for the kids&#039; travel to events they weren&#039;t invited to into state business?  I wish she could just tell the truth from the get-go, stick with it, and stop trying to bilk her constituents for personal expenses.</description>

For a second there I thought I was reading a Palin Deceptions thread:
&quot;It’s not the reason for the Trip that’s a problem, it’s the timing of the Trip&quot;

		<description>I sent an e-mail to the Governor and got this great postcard in the mail in response:

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with my office.  Active citizens are the hear of a democracy, and we appreciate hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Sarah Palin

So lets keep reminding her what the &quot;active citizens&quot; really think.  Sure, she just loves hearing from us. lol</description>

		<description>So this is an &#039;opinion&#039; that the legislature has to vote in the open on replacement senators.  It would have to go to court to become law.  There is a thing called&quot;precedent&quot;  which would probably rule here.  Palin let previous replacement appointments get voted on in private- so those were precedents and there you go!  There is no case here.  She would loose.  She allowed this to go by before, and didn&#039;t mind it then. 
I also would be afraid of crossing her for my constituents sake and other retributions she might dole out. She has proven to be one vindictive b****!</description>

Hold up—back up—-Didn’t Meg Stapleton say emphatically that Palin was going on a ‘THREE DAY VACATION?” Yup, Yup she did…so now we have a report about seeing Canadian oil people in Chicago…for a whole 90 minutes? Well, we now know the state of Alaska will be sucked into paying her the per diem payments for being on “official” business. Why does no one call her on this stuff she constantly does? It’s sickening. She should have been here, period.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not to mention her little &quot;tour guide speech&quot; at the beginning of a &quot;PRO-choice&quot; dinner! I thought that was to guarantee a per diem and I posted a link on the other (new) thread...tourism is way down in Alaska, doncha know....?
(Wonder why???) I would love to visit, but won&#039;t until that wolf killin&#039;, polar bear killin&#039;, earth killin&#039;  B*tch is OUT!!! Then I will go visit and enjoy Alaska...!</description>

Levi Johnston&#039;s family said on Larry King Live that they are hiring a lawyer to force the Palins to let Levi see his baby son, Trigg.

comments:
Wait, Trig is not Levi and Bristol&#039;s son. Trig is Sarah Palin&#039;s autistic baby (&quot;named for the math he will never be able to do,&quot; I remember Gawker mentioning). Tripp is Bristol&#039;s son.

Just FYI, but I love that even media professionals get tripped up over that ridiculous family&#039;s naming habits. Oh and sorry about the pun.

Why don&#039;t the Palin&#039;s just go away.....
I love how Palin or I should say the Republican party speaks of taking away a woman&#039;s right to an abortion, a woman&#039;s right to Plan B and not teaching sex ed....this is what you get instead, the father looking for publicity while the 17,18 year old daughter is home with the baby. I hope and have to admit she seems to have family who&#039;ll support her for instance if she wants to attend college someone will watch Tripp but what about those women who don&#039;t have the choice? Ignorance can only get you so far.

Bristol is completing her education. Some at Wasilla HS. She sure picked a winner. I hope she&#039;s learned from it - sadly there are a lot of teen moms in Alaska - with not a baby daddy in sight. But the grandmas are only in their mid to late 30&#039;s.
