AP INVESTIGATION: Palin children traveled on state

[RedEarth]

Source: AP

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - 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.

........

In October 2007, Palin brought daughter Bristol along on a trip to New York for a women's leadership conference. Plane tickets from Anchorage to La Guardia Airport for $1,385.11 were billed to the state, records show, and mother and daughter shared a room for four nights at the $707.29-per-night Essex House hotel, which overlooks Central Park.

1. Yay, Associated Press! Only a month or so late on THAT story!

Any day now, they should start covering the Alaska Independence Party.

[RedEarth]

2. It's better than not covering it all...

I like the fact it will get more exposure.

[NewJeffCT]

29. It's a headliner on Yahoo News -

that makes it pretty big story now... and, with it out there now, it can dominate the news for a day in the last 2 weeks of an election!

[pnwmom]

41. Good timing, IMO. Let the bad news keep flying at them. n/t

[Turn CO Blue]

62. Reading liberal blogs & forums is like getting the paper 3 wks early

[heliarc]

75. Damn Straight. n/t

[HEyHEY]

103. except they don't have proof and aren't accountable

[EFerrari]

114. Sometimes "proof" is just critical thinking, though, like when DU figured out

that Bruce Ivins couldn't be in his hometown AND in Princeton at the same time -- days before the Washington Post did.

[bulloney]

69. Any day now, they should start covering the AIP. Probably Nov. 5 after Obama wins and

the AIP news is less relevant.

[bulloney]

70. WWJD: What Would Joe (the plumber) Do?

[Liberal_in_LA]

88. lol

[D23MIURG23]

74. On the contrary - what better time than 2 weeks before an election?

[HEyHEY]

102. It's not easy to just get that kind of information solidly

[speedoo]

3. That can't be right.

Palin would never spend one night, much less four, in an anti Amerikun place like NYC.







:sarcasm:

[cosmicone]

14. She was trying hard to make NY pro-American. n/t

[jhrobbins]

56. That's part of her 'foreign policy' education

[llmart]

4. What a piece of work she is.....

why would anyone in Alaska vote for her?

[stoge18]

9. Perhaps they won't.

She's up for re-election in two years, right? Maybe the people of Alaska will have had enough by then.

[SemperEadem]

22. $3500/person from palin's windfall profits tax

easy money; they didn't have to work for it--probably don't get taxed on it, either. Who wouldn't love that and want more of it?

[Virginia Dare]

26. THAT'S socialism...n/t

[SemperEadem]

65. yup--the socialism that the unwashed masses love!!!!

[roguevalley]

36. she has NOTHING TO DO with the permanent fund. ANYONE could

be governor and that would not be something they can do ANYTHING ABOUT! For godsake, if you are going to ramble on about twit shit, do it about something you know about. I hate her for a MILLION other things. The fund has NOTHING TO DO with her.

[SemperEadem]

66. yeah, anyone could be governor--however, she's governor NOW

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x380927

Welcome to the People's Republic of Alaska, where every resident this year will get a $3,200 payout, thanks in no small measure to the efforts of Sarah Palin, the state's Republican governor. That's $22,400 for a family of seven, like Palin's. Since 1982, the Alaska Permanent Fund, which invests oil revenues from state lands, has paid out a dividend on invested oil loot to everyone who has been in the state for a year. But Palin upped the ante by joining with Democrats and some recalcitrant Republican state legislators to share in oil company windfall profits, further fattening state tax revenue and permitting an additional payout in tax funds to residents.

[roguevalley]

94. she pandered with a heating supplement that came out about the

time the rural areas were telling how horrendous it was to stay warm and when the rural areas were exiting from the villages into the cities, which is a huge problem especially at the start of the cold season.

The Permanent fund is a thing that was set up nearly three decades ago to share the investment revenue of the fund with the people of the state. ANY GODDAMNED STATE could do that if they gave a damn but they didn't. We did. We have the permanent fund as a hedge against the future. SARAH Palin and every other governor has ZIP influence over it. Her heating add on was a political ploy, pure and simple.

[Tansy_Gold]

81. But the permanent fund is socialism, isn't it?

It's public ownership of public lands and public sharing of the wealth generated by that public ownership.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Just think if we all got to share in all the wealth generated by corporations feeding off our public lands: off shore oil, logging in national forests, strip mining, even cattle grazing on BLM land.

but then, there are those of us who have no problem with socialism, and one of us is



Tansy Gold

[roguevalley]

93. My grandpa was a socialist and I have ZERO problem with it.

However, I have a huge problem with people who think she can reach into the Permanent fund and throw cash at us.

[llmart]

115. Wow!

My grandpa was a socialist also. Longstanding member of the Socialist Labor Party and very active in it in the Cleveland, Ohio area. I learned an awful lot from him even though as a youngster I used to roll my eyes at his "sermons" about capitalism.

[klyon]

117. I don't see it as socialism, but as getting paid for selling your stuff.

I think we sell our natural resources much too cheap. Time to raise the rates.

[Virginia Dare]

119. Then we should all get paid, because it belongs to all of us..

not just Alaska.

[saigon68]

73. SHE is a PIG swilling at the Public Trough

The sheep who voted for her are brain dead

[clixtox]

80. They were voting for a fairy tale! Bamboozled again...

It wasn't until AFTER she was chosen that her life/story was really scrutinized.

Fortunately!!!!!

What a disaster, in every way, she has turned out to be for the fascists.

[roguevalley]

95. you had to understand the HATRED for Murkowski and how she

handled his ethical stuff.

[road2000]

5. Jawdropping.

"The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race..."

Why should the state pay for Sister Sarah's transportation, much less the daughters'?

[zelta gaisma]

49. sara palin = paris hilton ?

does anyone else get that feeling? the world is Sara's oyster and we (the tax payers) live to serve her and her family...

[stoge18]

6. How can they defend this?

Is this gotcha journalism? Is it mean-spirited character assassination? Really, how can she explain this??? Quite honestly, I don't even care anymore. I just want her to go away.

[nickgutierrez]

21. She won't.

She'll just accuse liberals of attacking her family. As long as she has a boogeyman she can blame her problems on, she never has to take the blame for any of them.

[roguevalley]

38. this is going to sink her in Alaska. The luxury of her behavior is

identical to Murkowski and it will sink her.

[tclambert]

67. Congratulations, you have successfully mastered republican logic,

Herr Doktor Merkwürdigliebe. You can be accused of attacking anything you mention in your criticism of one of them. Thus, if you criticize Palin, about something she did with her family, you are attacking her family. You are also attacking the airline industry, and the hotel she stayed at. And the taxpayers of Alaska, since they paid for the trips. How dare you badmouth the Alaskan taxpayers! If you criticize George Bush regarding the conduct of a war, say in some oil-producing desert country, then you are attacking the troops. Or America. Where is your patriotism?

Oh, yes, and "criticism" is defined as "telling the truth."

[machI]

122. The Republicans aren't afraid of being exposed, they will just spin it into a campaign issue

When Obama gets elected, the will be a fundamental change in the way the public views these lying Republicans. When we send a few more of them to join Duke Cunningham in jail, they will knock this crap off.

8. She's off her rocker! n/t

[louis-t]

10. They are millionaires and charge the taxpayer for this.

Sarah the Welfare Queen.

[Jackpine Radical]

82. Millionaires are always cheap. That's one of the ways they get to be millionaires.

Lookit all the stuff Cheney billed the gov't for.

[Cass]

11. A reformer, my ass. She's a walking breach of ethics.

Why should the state of Alaska have to pay for this? If she wants to bring her kids along, fine, but it's her responsibility to pay for them.

She claims to be a fiscal conservative but she sure as hell isn't fiscally conservative with public money when it's being spent on behalf of her family. Alaska ought to open an investigation into this.

[progressivebydesign]

12. That's called CHEATING!!! You get fired for doctoring the expense reports.. not to mention the IRS.

How many ways can the media show that this woman is corrupt?? You cannot cheat your way through your job.. Isn't this what that whole Murkowski and now Stevens thing is all about?

[nichomachus]

71. That's called FRAUD! n/t

[Citizen Number 9]

108. Doctoring expense reports?

You must be talking about where Palin finds out that the media has requested her expense reports, so she goes and retroactively changes them to be "more clear" (quotes mine) that her kids were accompanying her on official business.

That sort of stuff is special. :evilgrin:

[Nambe]

13. Put a fork in her. Big grounds for dismissal.

[MasonJar]

15. The AP must be worried by all the business it is losing thanks to its

new DC head.

[LynneSin]

16. Wow, I'm so glad Alaskans got a governor who was ready to clean up the corruption....

:sarcasm:

Frank Markowski is probably looking pretty good by now

[roguevalley]

39. she's frank's bastard child.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

84. Silly liberals. She meant "clean up ON corruption."

[fudge stripe cookays]

17. $707 a night?

If you're going to bilk taxpayers, might as well make it count!

What a lying, deceiving bitch.

[NewJeffCT]

30. That's not outrageous for NYC

even a middle of the road hotel is going to run you $300+ per night...

[pnorman]

pnorman

[howmad1]

89. I wouldn't be too sure.......

.....it was her daughter.

[MagicKenny]

18. But It Won't Matter Unless The Network News Channels Pick This Story Up...

...seriously. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS - if they don't grab the ball and run with it, it'll go the way Palin's connection with the AIP went...blip, blip, blip, gone.

PLEASE - get this story across the airwaves and around the country.

[tpsbmam]

19. After you lose the election, you stupid skank,

Alaskans are going to recall your ass after all that's come out about your conduct. Now THAT would make my day!

[bobd0]

20. She illegally charges AK for her kids transportation and room expenses and doesn't even claim it as

income even as the McCain/Palin administration would tax middle class workers' medical benefits.

Can these people stoop any lower?

Yes, as hard as it is to believe, I believe they can.

[Kalifornia.Kid]

23. Palin can't plead innocence in that she was the first Governor with school-aged children ...

"Tony Knowles, a Democratic former governor of Alaska who lost to Palin in a 2006 bid to reclaim the job, said he never charged the state for his three children's commercial flights or claimed their travel as official state business. Knowles, who was governor from 1994 to 2002, is the only other recent Alaska governor who had school-age children while in office."

Thank you!
:rofl: :blush:


peace~

[jmowreader]

27. You can be vice president if you're in jail for embezzlement, right?

That's Caribou Barbie's next stop. Forget simple recall--she's currently downloading the user's manual for a license plate press so she'll be ready when the time comes.

[tclambert]

76. Constitution says: Prez or Vice-Prez must be at least 35 and a natural born citizen.

And have fourteen years of residence in America. That's it. Convicted felons are not excluded. Mass murderers not excluded. Traitors and foreign spies not excluded. (So long as they are natural born foreign spies.) A person in a coma can be president or vice president. A raving lunatic can be . . .

Well, this could go on.

A corporation, though ruled legally a person, would not be considered "a natural born citizen" and therefore could not serve as President nor Vice President. Whew! I know some of you were worried about that one. (Imagine what a President Exxon Mobil might do! Okay, maybe not much different from a President Bush.)

[2Design]

28. sounds like she fits in McCains DC group great

boy the alaska people are in for a rude awakening about their maverick leader who has hoodwinked them just like washington does to the lower 48 while giving excessive funding to alaska

[specialed]

31. What great vetting by John McCain!

If she doesn't end up in jail there is no justice in this country.

[1Hippiechick]

34. McCain wanted someone who was as big a lowlife as himself. n/t

[Prophet 451]

32. This woman is one walking pile of corruption

Charging the state for sleeping at home; Troopergate, book banning. Now this. She'd be the most corrupt VP since... Actually, since Dick Cheney. I may need to rethink that.

[catawampus]

55. This woman is one walking pile of corruption

It's important to remember that Palin is just Cheney in drag, without the Dick

[OrwellwasRight]

61. But Cheney is smart -- you know in a devious, selfish way

she's Bush in drag. they're both idiots, "morans," shallow thinkers, incapable of complex thought or empathy for people who are nothing like them

[Prophet 451]

113. So was Lex Luthor

Dick Cheney is the embodiment of Lex Luthor, living proof that brains do not equal integrity.

[1Hippiechick]

33. The GIFT is that it is coming DIRECTLY out of ALASKA newspapers - HER state. Who are the repukes

gonna blame for THIS piece of information?!?!?

[happygoluckytoyou]

35. sorry for bringing the kids into it.....but it looks like YOU DID IT FIRST !

[Blaze Diem]

37. Ya, like I said before..Palin will bill the US taxpayers for the nannies,

fine schooling, college, food, clothing, special needs, nurses, world travel, best events, Secret Service for ALL 5 plus the new grandkid & Todd, & Levi, & her parents, her siblings and that includes flights, and talk about
PALIN the WELFARE QUEEN.

As a taxpayer, and based on her past record of billing the state of AK for frivolties for her kids, I don't approve of MY tax dollars spent to raise her brood for her.

Palin's 'Anti American' beliefs have not impressed me enough for that approval.
She should go home & live like the rest of America.

[catgirl]

40. Gee, nothing like fairweather journalism

A little late on this one.

[Sub Atomic]

42. But...but....but....

IT'S EXPENSIVE HAVING TO RAISE 5 KIDS!! I DESERVE GOVERNMENT WELFARE!!

[pinto]

43. I'll say it again. These folks are scammers and thugs.

Good looking scammers and thugs, but all the same it is what it is.

You betcha...

44. The Gift That Keeps On Giving

She's a walking advertisement for government waste, fraud, and abuse.

Bless her larcenous little heart.

[minnesota_liberal]

45. When you're a 'Maverick,' Kids = Official Advisors

You can be sure the MSM will ignore this one.

[bjobotts]

46. Good experience for cleaning up Washington of all the wasteful spending huh.

[Toucano]

47. Corrupt wench! n-t

[Doctor_J]

48. Was this in the Voice's "Real Sarah Palin" thing?

or is this on top of all that corruption?

[happygoluckytoyou]

50. been seeing a LOT more PALIN lawn signs the past week... pointy hat...broom...black cat... moon

[Occulus]

57. DUzy. n/t

[volstork]

51. Wow. She IS

the perfect republican!


:crazy:

[lutefisk]

52. It's actually kind of quaint, what with the multi-billion dollar scams of Bush-Cheney, Inc.

She just didn't have a mentor to show her what was possible.

Think in terms of pallets of hundred dollar bills and no-bid contracts for your associates, Palin. What would Dick do?

[osmium]

53. It looks like all the MSM websites are running this...

Maybe 11PM news?

KO?
Rachel?

"Sarah's errahs" are certainly illuminating.

That's my new nickname for Palin.

Errah Failin.

I betcha she's literally killin' McShame.

[bettyellen]

54. eighty eight airplane tickets? talk about "spreading the wealth!!"

[Raschel]

58. THAT'S UN-AMERICAN!! N/T

[bobd0]

59. Oh, and BTW, "Later amended the reports" = FRAUD

[Citizen Number 9]

109. My personal favorite.

She ain't any different from a lot of other folks who do these kinds of things to save their bacon.


It's just that we're not considering the other folks for one of the highest offices in the land. :dunce:

[muriel_volestrangler]

60. See, this is 'No Child Left Behind", Palin-style (wink)

[Wetzelbill]

63. Palin is the gift that keeps on giving

And you know, I don't care about running up the score, I have no problems with a landslide.

[usregimechange]

64. Doesn't sound legal either...

[Piewhacket]

72. Theft of government funds by fraud... oh, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah...

what WERE you thinking? :silly:

so, what's next on the list? armed robbery?
watchin ya, ewwwww betcha.
:popcorn:

[nichomachus]

77. One word: IOKYAR n/t

[The Night Owl]

78. I wonder what the conference Palin attended in NY was about. I bet it was a religious conference.

[scarface2004]

79. thanks but no thanks....i ll charge the state for all my

personal expenses!!

[Patriought]

83. Of all the disgusting things about Palin...

This is the absolute worst.

These are not her kids...They are props in the Sarah Palin show.

Maybe her church back home should be praying for them.

[GDAEx2]

85. How Mavricky! n/t

[iconicgnom]

86. oh well -- I think that's small stuff and, in a way, acceptable.

A non-issue, compared to the real and substantive issues voters have with the McCain/Palin ticket.

So... she wanted to be with her kids. I for one can give her that much. What I take issue with is her ignorance, and her impenetrable fundamentalist belief system, and her proven vindictive nature (troopergate) that fits Bush/Cheney like a glove, and doesn't represent change.

[mchill]

116. I'm a federal employee and my ass would be fried if I did this - sorry, but

"wants to be with her children" does not go down well with someone with 30 years of service and spent many days on the road away from mine because I couldn't afford the extra plane fare, etc.

[iconicgnom]

126. Sorry for being late to reply. I see your point.

I wonder, though, whether it's about time that we reconsider needs in a global village, where indeed so many essential jobs require extended travel. These jobs are essential, so their worth should be given recompense accordingly, and how better to do this than in payment that recognizes the worth of the worker, so helps the worker build a healthy family? I'm not against such "perks", when they correspond with the job requirement, when within reason.

Of course, I see the opposing point: these "perks" should be negotiated and contracted to, they shouldn't just be taken by some politicians. And it's especially irksome when some politician who just "takes" such perks happens to also be the self-same closed minded, meanspirited type who makes sure that rape victims pay up front for the rape kits required for evidence. To prove her bona fides as a fiscal conservative "cost cutter", no less. In fact, I find that a bit creepy.

[Liberal_in_LA]

87. BREAKING: the McCain Campaign submitted proof of one invite for the daughters.

Anderson Cooper just reported --- he reported as if the issue was now dead.

[mr1956]

105. Not so fast

The McCain campaign produced an email saying Bristol had been invited, but the people running things said they hadn't sent that email. So now it sounds like another lie to cover-up the first lie. I hope the people of Alaska are taking all this in.

[Citizen Number 9]

110. Good thing Anderson Cooper isn't a "Decider"

I think it really will take more than three weeks for this one to go away.

91. Will Alaskan get a refund?

They deserve it.

[a la izquierda]

92. Two Words: Gift Horse.

Oh, I love it.

[lanlady]

96. DO THESE CHILDREN EVER GO TO SCHOOL?

Why is the media not asking this obvious question? How does 16-yr-old Bristol spend a week in NYC in October without missing school? I don't get it.

[crazy homeless guy]

97. This is a dumb area to try...

and prove your point that she is abusing her power. Bringing the kids into it will result in backlash from every family out there, espicially if they are drug into it by the media or obama campaign.

[recovering democrat]

123. Thanks for bringing up the obvious

Oldest two kids high school drop outs along with future husband of pregnant daughter just dropped out. Doesn't seem to set a very high standard for education in this family, and shamefully, apparently both of her parents are/were teachers?

Of course, I do understand. The term family values is totally appropriated by the conservative right wing and we have no business questioning this.

Still irritating.

[blue sky at night]

98. gee....if I stole something that was valued at over a hundred bucks.........

I would be a felon, what is going to happen to the crazy psycho sarah??? applause and wild cheering when the say OBama is going to redistribute the "wealth"??? This is an outrage, a disgrace, a crime.



CHange, HOpe, OBama......!

99. Sarah Palin: The Reform Candidate

:eyes:

I'll be surprised if she's re-elected in AK.

[ChoralScholar]

101. Welp....

she just lost my vote....

oh wait... nevermind.

[Third Doctor]

104. I don't know

Why would anyone vote for her in Alaska? Ted Stevens still has a lot of support so I guess being crooked is acceptible to a lot of voters up there.

[chatnoir]

106. I ran across the following online earlier

And didn't know what to make of it. Makes it sounds like there are a boatload of skeletons more in this political grifter's closet.

All of the following material is taken from a confidential DoJ report sitting on my desk as I write.

The Republican’s unvetted choice was born Sarah Louise Heath on February 11, 1964 at Sandpoint, Idaho. Her father, Charles Heath was a science teacher and her mother, Sally Sheeran Heath was listed as a housewife. Sarah attended a number of schools and finally received a BA in journalism from the University of Idaho. Her current husband, Todd, is a Native American Yup'ik Eskimo and works for BP at one of their Alaskan oil fields and does part-time work as a fisherman.

They have five children. Their eldest son, Track, 19, is in the U.S. army and their three daughters, Bristol, 18, Willow, 14 and Piper, 7. In 2008 (April 18, 2008), a son, Trig was born. This child suffers from Mongoloidism. Their second unmarried daughter Willow, is now pregnant.

The Palin family lives in Wasilla, about 40 miles north of Anchorage.

Aside from a number of thoroughly unpleasant episodes concerning family members, overcharging the state, heavy involvement with corrupt local politicians, attempts to foster her personal religious beliefs (Palin is a very active and aggressive Evangelical) there is the question of family matters she has attempted to conceal to advance her political career. Governor Palin “proudly displays” an Israeli flag in her gubernatorial office and for a very good reason.

Her maternal grandfather, Schmuel Sheigam, was a Lithuanian Jew, born in 1912 in Vilkaviskis, Lithuania, 91.2 miles west of Vilnius. The Sheigam family immigrated to America, via Hamburg, Germany in 1915 because of WWI.

At Ellis Island Immigration Centre, the name was entered as Sheeran, a standard practice of the time when immigration officers were unable to understand the pronunciation of non-English speaking immigrants. Sheeran is a common Irish name but members of the Sheigam family are buried in the Jewish cemetery at Budezeriai near Vilkaviskis:in Lithuania

Further information on Governor Palin’s ancestors can easily be found in the vital records in the Lithuanian State Historical Archives in Vilnius. The Archives holds birth, marriage, divorce, and death records for the Lithuanian Jewish community from 1851 until 1915 when the Jews were required to leave the country because of World War I. They are in 18th Century Cyrillic script and Yiddish Many of these records include the mother's maiden name and town of registration.

Edited: Seems this site has been discredited?

[Piewhacket]

111. That explains a few things. Shes an Idaho. (pause) OK lets pretend I didn't say that.

[chatnoir]

112. And I'll pretend I didn't LOL

[AllyCat]

107. CNN talking about this too.

Have any of the M$M talked about the Republicans voter fraud that has been caused by...the Republicans? I haven't heard a thing. Anything that truly "sways" this election to McCain won't be discussed.

Palin is an idiot. She was smart enough to know she had to go back to change the records, but did it stupidly.

[Doodler71]

118. Would this qualify as "pork barrel" spending?

You know unnecessary things covered by tax payer dollars?

Just wondering. :sarcasm:

[earth mom]

120. How much clearer can it be that Palin is corrupt?!

:puke:

[greeneyedboy]

121. $707 per night? even for NY that's pretty expensive.

[happygoluckytoyou]

124. "sarah please adopt me"

[tclambert]

125. On a brighter, lighter side, she's now bilking the McCain campaign out of $150,000 for her wardrobe

One lady said to me, "I haven't spent that much on clothes in my entire life. And all her clothes look alike!" Clearly, Sarah's not getting her money's worth. Nor is McCain.
