Sarah Palin Pork! Her Children Traveled 76 Times on State Tab

Apparently Sarah Palin hates pork except when it is for her, or her children...in the barely 18 months that she has been Governor of the state of Alaska, she has billed the state for her children's airline travel SEVENTY SIX TIMES! 64 one way tickets, and 12 round trip tickets. She basically forces her children onto guests lists (rather than hire a baby sitter), and then BILLS THE STATE For their airfare, meals and lodging! Oddly, she has charged the state more for her children traveling with her, than Todd...is he not GOOD ENOUGH to baby sit, or worse, does Sarah Palin not trust her children home alone with Todd Palin?

AP INVESTIGATION: Palin charged state for children's travel, later amended expense reports

The Associated Press

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.

The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel.

In all, Palin has charged the state $21,012 for her three daughters' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights since she took office in December 2006. In some other cases, she has charged the state for hotel rooms for the girls.

Alaska law does not specifically address expenses for a governor's children. The law allows for payment of expenses for anyone conducting official state business.

Have You Seen This Video...Palin Caught in Monehan LIE

Troopergate takes ANOTHER ODD TWIST...why isn't the National Media covering this. We all saw the news, saw that the Troopergate Investigation found Sarah Palin was guilty of Abuse of Power in trying to get her former brother-in-law fired, but had done nothing wrong in firing her Commissioner. End of story right? WRONG. Sarah Palen is lying, and there is VIDEO PROOF OF IT right on You Tube! Commissioner Monehan was partially vendicated in yesterday's ruling, but not completely, and he deserves to be. This video needs to virally RACE AROUND the internet. If you read this post, watch this video and agree, I ask you to twitter it, Digg it, link to it, even post it in your own blog. This is Sarah Palin in her own words in front of a TV camera lying on the whole entire affair.

Too Understand Sarah Palin Verdict, Divide The Whole Into Its Component Parts

I am a CRIMINAL, I have VIOLATED the ETHICS RULES OF THE STATE OF ALASKA.

OK, have read the verdict/report on Sarah Palin, as it has been bothering me ALL NIGHT to a point I have stayed up figuring it all out. How can someone violate ethics laws of the State of Alaske, yet not be guilty in the firing of a state employee...then it hit me. We have two separate issues here that have come to light because of the firing!

Part One-Trying to get Trooper fired.

Part Two-Firing of said Trooper's superior.

It was at this point that the light bulb went on in my brain. Sarah Palin is GUILTY of violating the state of Alaska's statutes as relates to ethics, she was and is guilty of an Abuse of Power which is an impeachable offense! She is guilty of this, because she used her position of power in a wrongful attempt to get the trooper fired.

Now, separate issue is the firing of the troopers superior. This man as it were, served at the pleasure of the Governor. State law gives her the right to terminate the employment of said employee, or transfer them to a different or lesser job at any time she so chooses without a reason!

When you separate the two, as you must, it all MAKE SENSE, and you realize that Sarah Palin has in deed committed a VERY GRAVE AND SERIOUS offense. Is any of this making sense to any one reading it? Even if she had never fired her TOP COP, she would have been guilty of Abuse of Power for her actions/or lack thereof in regards to her former brother in law, her and Todd's vendetta against him, using her position in an attempt TO HAVE HIM FIRED. So now the big question...is this Attorney General or the Alaskan State Legislature going to BRING CHARGES AGAINST HER?

Sarah Palin Talking With Her Foot in Her Mouth

Someone in my comments area steered me to this You Tube video...it is worth sharing with the rest of my readers.

Todd Palin NOT FIRST DUDE! He Was ALWAYS First GENTLEMAN!

In reading the investigative report that finds Sarah Palin GUILTY of Abuse of Power caused me to do some sniffing around. If you read the report, you find out that Sarah Palin and her staff DID NOT refer to Todd Palin as FIRST DUDD, but instead referred to him as first gentleman. Could it be that Sarah Palin's PR CREW came up with FIRST DUDE as a means to make him SEEM COOLER, her MORE HIP, a ruse to appeal to the younger voters? Having read the, "First Gentleman" reference I went to the state of Alaska OFFICIAL Governor's web page to get verification, and lo and behold, Todd Palin is the First Gentleman, NOT THE FIRST DUDE.

First, is Todd Palin's OWN WEB PAGE on the offical government web page:

About the First Gentleman Todd Palin Todd Palin has worked for nearly 20 years as a production operator in the oil fields on Alaska’s North Slope and is a life-long commercial fisherman in Bristol Bay. Since becoming Alaska’s First Gentleman on December 4, 2006, he has been a strong advocate for improving workforce development and vocational training in the state. Mr. Palin was born in the western Alaska town of Dillingham. His Yup'ik grandmother helped create an appreciation for Alaska’s cultural heritage and traditions, which Mr. Palin has passed down to his family.

The state’s rugged outdoors also plays an influential role in the life of the Palin family. Mr. Palin is a four-time champion of the Iron Dog – at 2,000 miles, the world’s longest, toughest snowmachine race from Wasilla to Nome to Fairbanks – and he has competed in the event each year since 1993. A community volunteer with youth sports, including coaching hockey and basketball, he also enjoys fishing, flying and spending time with his family. Mr. Palin and his wife, Governor Sarah Palin, both graduated from Wasilla High School and married in 1988 after college. The Palins have five children, Track, Willow, Bristol, Piper and Trig. Their son, Track, enlisted in the U.S. Army on Sept. 11, 2007.

I then delved further into the OFFCIAL site, and found further references to Todd Palin as the First Gentleman:

2008 First Ladies Luncheon	2008 First Ladies Luncheon
First Gentleman Todd Palin presents a photographic montage of the Alaskan Governor’s Mansion to Former First Lady Neva Egan at the August 2, 2008 Luncheon in Juneau, Alaska along with Former First Ladies Ermalee Hickel, Bella Hammond, Susan Knowles and Nancy Murkowski.	(front left to right) Former First Ladies Susan Knowles, Ermalee Hickel, Neva Egan, Bella Hammond and Nancy Murkowski stand with current First Gentleman Todd Palin in the Governor’s mansion ballroom on August 2, 2008 after a luncheon.

As you can see by these OFFICIAL photographs on the Official Alaska Governor's web site, Todd Palen was not known as, nor referred to as the FIRST DUDE, but instead as the First Gentleman. On another humorous note...guess these pictures leave little doubt as to who wears the panties in the Palin household. He looks SO CUTE with his other counterparts in the room. (slapping my fingers...SHAME ON ME!)

Sarah Palin's Sister and Father Co-Conspirators In Illegal Moose Kill!

This SUCKS!

The Troopergate Report is CHOCK full of some very interesting, and heretofore unknown tidbits of information that leave NO DOUBT that A) Sarah and Todd Palin were out for revenge against Trooper Wooten, and B) that their own family were willing accomplices in the illegal shooting of a Moose!

One of the things that Todd Palin was hoping could be used against Trooper Wooten, was the fact he had illegally shot a moose...he apparently even had pictures of this illegal harvesting of Alaskan wildlife...I always thought that odd until I read the report. Here is the way it went down.

1. Trooper Wooten was out in the field with his then wife, Sarah Palin's sister.

2. Apparently for whatever reason, Sarah's sister could not or would not take the shot, even though she had a tag, so Trooper Wooten PULLED THE TRIGGER felling the moose.

3. The sister of Sarah Palin's tag was used (with her agreement) to tag the Moose. Said couple, and apparently some friends then dragged the Moose out of the field, loaded it up into their vehicle and departed the area.

4. The Moose was then taken to Sarah Palin's father's house where he (Sarah Palin's father) BUTCHERED SAID MOOSE.

When Todd Palin found out that EVERYONE INVOLVED with this incident would have to be charged with accessories to the crime, he got VERY AGITATED!

This series of incidents regarding the Moose bring up several disturbing realities. First among them, is the fact that Sarah and Todd have not been telling the truth all along. They have been quick to point out Trooper Wooten's illegal shooting of a Moose, but have FAILED to bring up their own family's involvement in the Moose, and their own criminal behaviors in the incident.

Secondly, especially in light of the first fact, there is little doubt that Sarah, Todd and the Palin clan WERE ON A WITCH HUNT, were out to get Trooper Wooten.

Thirdly, this incident and the testimony about it show us that the Palin's do not believe in FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE for all, but instead want to manipulate the law to suit their own purpose, and do not want the law to apply to themselves, their families and friends if enforcing the law finds them guilty of BREAKING IT!

A careful read of the report leaves no doubt that Sarah Palin IS UNFIT TO HOLD POLITICAL OFFICE, LET ALONE RUN FOR VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

State of Alaska Legislative Council Is Going To Bury Most of Palin Report

In breaking news, CAN WE SAY COVER UP? Seems that the Alaskan Legislative Council has suddenly decided to release only a VERY SMALL SEGMENT of their 1000 page report on the Palin Troopergate Investigation. Where is the transparancy? Sarah Palin is running for Vice President, and the America people deserve to have the CLOAK OF SCRECACY removed, deserve to know the truth, good, bad or ugly. Of course, any one want to make bets how long it will be before SOMEONE leaks the entire report out to someone in the press?

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (CNN) -- Alaska lawmakers huddled behind closed doors Friday to review a report on Gov. Sarah Palin's firing of her public safety commissioner, who says he was sacked for resisting pressure to fire the governor's ex-brother-in-law.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is under investigation for the firing of her public safety commissioner.

The bipartisan Legislative Council went into executive session to discuss the report from former Anchorage prosecutor Stephen Branchflower before its scheduled release. But state Senate President Lyda Green told reporters outside the meeting room, "It's going to be hours."

Only a portion of the report is scheduled to be made public after the executive session, said state Sen. Kim Elton, the Legislative Council's chairman. A second part of the report contains "confidential" information and will be kept under wraps, said Elton, a Democrat who has been under fire from Palin's supporters.

State Rep. Peggy Wilson, a Republican member of the council, said the total report ran about 1,000 pages.

"This is a pretty serious thing, and I don't feel comfortable even talking about it until I've got it all read," she said.

Palin's Upstart Maverick Image Paid For With State Tax Funds!

With every turn of the page, the Palin story gets nastier and nastier. Before she was even minted as Senator McCain's running mate we had Troopergate...we are all waiting anxiously for the REAL REPORT on this mess, while giggling at the McCain Campaign Report that pronounced her innocent of all charges. Next we had the press bombshell that her teenage daughter was pregnant out of wedlock...this would not have raised eyebrows if it were not for Sarah Palin's extremely radical conservatives views and values. Next we have the rest of the Troopergate Story...turns out that Sarah Palin replaced Walt Monegan with one Kenai Police Chief Charles Kopp who's past includes a charge of SEXUAL HARRASSMENT! Talk about a serious question of judgement...John Cyr of the Troopers Union would say, “She didn’t understand how important it is to truly vet anyone who would be in a position of that authority,” This remark takes on some alarming tones when you realize Sarah Palin would be one step away from the Presidency...maybe less, as I would not put it past Palin to take whatever steps were necessary to ascend to the throne.

We all know of Sarah's problems with the media, have had many laughs at her guffaws thanks to Saturday Night Live skits that are becoming a staple of our daily lives in the past month. Let us forget that she can see Russia!...though, that claim has sense been disproved since Sarah Palin never actually visited the one remote location in Alaska from which you can actually see Russia. A small lie, but a lie none the less.

We reported here last night that a second investigation which we have named Per Diem Gate is underway, and that the Palin's may actually OWE back takes on her Per Diem payments. Still having trouble understanding how Alaska can let their governor bill the state $17,000 in Per Diem so that she can STAY AT HOME ALL DAY, rather than driving the one hour each day into work...hell of a deal if you can get it. This Per Diem issues is even odder when you realize the state of Alaska operates and maintains a perfectly beautiful Governor's Mansion for Sarah Palin that she chooses NOT TO STAY IN most of the time.

Sarah Palin must LOVE SHOES, because today another one is dropping. It seems that Sarah Palin's, "UPSTART MAVERICK" Governor image was not really her own, but was carefully crafted and designed by a PR FIRM. Further troubling, state tax dollars were used to pay this PR FIRM to craft Sarah Palin's image! Next question...who was this outside PR Firm, and were there SPECIAL FAVORS paid because said firm had special ties to the Palin family/clan.

PR consultant helped Palin grab spotlight

Expert pitched 'upstart governor' as a crusader against Big Oil

By Kimberly Kindy

updated 1:13 a.m. ET, Fri., Oct. 10, 2008

During her first months in office, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin kept a relatively light schedule on her workdays in Juneau, making ceremonial appearances at sports events and funerals, meeting with state lawmakers, and conducting interviews with Alaska magazines, radio stations and newspapers.

But this spring, Palin's official calendar chronicles an extraordinary rise to national prominence. A fresh face in Republican politics, she was discovered by the national news media at least in part because of a determined effort by a state agency to position her as an oil and gas expert who could tout Alaska's determined effort to construct a natural gas pipeline.

An outside public relations expert hired under a $31,000 contract with the state Department of Natural Resources pitched the "upstart governor" as a crusader against Big Oil, a story line that Palin has adopted in her campaign as Sen. John McCain's running mate. The contract was the only time the Palin administration hired an outside consultant to set up media interviews, a function performed in many states by government employees.

Demand Release Of Troopergate Report

Just in from the BBC...seems that those who have been investigating Sarah Palin's Troopergate scandal are mulling over MAYBE releasing the findings of the report. We need to DEMAND full transparancy. Contact Alaskan elected officials and demand access to this report. The American people deserve the truth, good, bad or ugly. Sarah Palin and her actions are now no longer JUST AN ALASKAN ISSUE.

Palin report may be made public

The Palins say Mr Wooten threatened and abused their family Alaska legislators are to decide whether to make public an investigation into allegations Sarah Palin abused her power as governor of Alaska. Mrs Palin stands accused of firing a safety official for refusing to sack a state trooper who had been involved in an acrimonious divorce from her sister. Mrs Palin, who is John McCain's running mate, denies any improper behaviour. But the row - now widely referred to as "Troopergate" - has cast a pall over the Republican presidential campaign. The probe into the affair began before Mr McCain selected Mrs Palin last month. Critics say Mrs Palin was using her power as governor to settle a personal feud. But several Republican politicians had attempted to have the probe stopped on the grounds that it was politically motivated. However, the Supreme Court in Alaska on Thursday dismissed a legal attempt to stop the investigation.

A Second Palin Investigation Underway!

Seems there is a second Palin investigation underway now that she has released her tax records to the public. Now the first thing that strikes the average American as ODD, is how Sarah Palin, or for that matter any politician, is entitled to $17,000 in Per Diem for staying IN HER OWN HOUSE! That's right, $17,000 for staying in her own house instead of driving the ONE HOUR into Juneau to go to work! WOW, I want that kind of a GIG. Let's put this in perspective. My mortgage on my home costs me about $1300 per month. So, if I were Governor, and worked from home instead of going into the office, I could actually PAY MY ENTIRE MORTGAGE with my Per Diem!

Now, if I owned a gas guzzling vehicle that got say 20 miles per the gallon, and I had to drive 120 miles round trip a day for the 312 days that Sarah STAYED HOME, I would have spent $7,488 in gasoline costs at $4 a gallon. What am I missing here? Sarah Palin has been Governor for basically 2 years. In that time, SHE STAYED HOME in Wasilla with her kids 312 days, or well in excess of 50 percent of the time. She then BILLED THE STATE $17,000 dollars in Per Diem, and according to this newest investigation, probably should HAVE PAID TAXES on that total. Further, it is not like she CLOSED DOWN THE GOVERNORS MANSION to save the state money. Wouldn't Alaska's taxpayers have been BETTER SERVED if Sarah Palin had MOVED HER FAMILY into the Governor's Mansion, and driving back home weekends when she was not billing the state?

Palin's per diem under review

$17,000: State will look to see if she should pay taxes on money she gets for staying in her Wasilla home.

Gov. Sarah Palin's practice of charging the state when she stays in her home must be reviewed to determine if she should pay taxes on the payments, state Finance Director Kim Garnero said Tuesday.

Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, released two years' worth of tax returns last week that did not list the per diem payments she received since becoming Alaska governor in December 2006. She collected nearly $17,000 during that period for 312 nights spent in her Wasilla home about an hour's drive from Anchorage, according to state travel records.

Palin listed 157 days spent in Anchorage during 2007 on her travel forms. Garnero said Palin's work place as governor is considered to be Juneau, so she filed for the per diem payments when she stayed at her home in Wasilla.

AP Get's Todd Palin Affidavit...Why Not Release It?

YEAH, TAKE THAT...GOTCHA AFFIDAVIT'S...

In an attempt to grab the spin wheel first, seems that the Palin attorney's have given the AP a copy of Todd Palin's affidavit in the Troopergate Investigation. Call me crazy, but if you are going to release his affidavit, why not give it to EVERYONE...unless of course, you attached strings to it when you provided it to the AP? Which might explain the jaundiced one sided slant to the AP's story on this.

Let Alaskan Government Employees Know There is Better Choice Than McSame/Palin Ticket

Drop some of Sarah Palin’s fellow Alaskan Government Employees an email, let them know that we have a far better choice for America than the McCain/Palin ticket. Let them know you oppose another four more years of the Bush doctrine, that we do not want a McSame White House. For those wanting them, I have a LOT MORE of these email addresses. For the folks in the Secret Service and FBI that might want to accuse someone of HACKING Sarah Palin’s state web site, these email addresses are easily accessible by an anal retentive chimp tripping on LSD by visiting this public access and information link: http://www.state.ak.us/cgi-bin/whitepage.cgi As a side note…if you, the citizens are SO IN LOVE with Governor Sarah (Troopergate) Palin, most of America are more than willing to send her back sooner rather than later.
