Don't forget the $17K in per diem payments she billed the state for nights she spent in her own home. AP says they're still trying to figure out what the hell that was. Oof.

And if it were anyone else, you phony-balonies would be lamenting how the state should recognize the needs of kids and moms.

Considering the fact that she has turned the state investigative panel's finding of "guilty of ethics violations" into

"I’m very, very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing … any hint of any kind of unethical activity there. Very pleased to be cleared of any of that."

I'm going to guess that she'll do exactly the same thing if ever confronted about this "scandal" and either pretend that it didn't happen or portray it as an attempt to victimize her and her family.

Bailo,

Funny you should mention phoney baloney.

As a small-government fiscal conservative -- seriously -- I find it all the more egregious when an ostensibly conservative politician dips into those sacred taxpayer dollars to do a little wealth redistribution of their very own.

Shouldn't you?

The real scandal is that, according to the dimwit currently holding the office, Palin earned about $70k to do nothing but sign checks and hold weekly meetings while mayor of Wasilla.

EXACTLY. You want the kids along, you pay their way.
