Sarah Palin: Political Grifter?
A report this evening on Palin’s questionable travel expenses (and other creative accounting) won’t play well in “real America”. Even the hardest of hardcore social conservatives have to be starting to see Sarah Palin as a fortunate huckster; a grifter in a league with the worst of the tongue speaking, collection-plate-passing tent revival preachers.

5. Yup - between those trips, her 150K RNC wardrobe, that's not change ANYONE can believe in!
Plus she thinks that she will get in and be queen of the Senate.

Is it clear to her supporters yet that she is a complete, utter idiot (and a crooked one at that)?

14. Perfect description. Sara & Todd are lookin out for Sarah & Todd.

Remember, their heart is really with the AIP.
No big deal to her if she doesn't win the GOP VP nom.

McCain who??She's makin a name for herself that takes her out of faraway Alaska & she'll be showing up elsewhere on the world stage after this stint.
Grifting off someone else.

You've described the AIP Palins to a T.

No, their loyalty is to whoever can get them a house on the cheap, a fine wardrobe, vacations in Maui, etc.
