Now we learn the Republican National Committee spent $150,000 on Governor Palin’s wardrobe, hair and makeup shortly after John McCain named her to be his running mate. This included a 75-thousand dollar shopping spree in Minneapolis and more than $4,000 on hair and make-up in September alone.
But here’s the topper. The Associated Press reports Sarah Palin charged the state of Alaska for some of her children’s travel expenses since she became governor. More than $21,000 worth of airfares and hotels all on the Alaska taxpayers’ dime. The AP reports Palin altered the expense reports to indicate her children were on “official business.”
The kids weren’t even invited to some of these events they were flown too.
How do you present yourself as any kind of candidate of reform when the sleazy practices you employ put you in the same category as every other sleazy, opportunistic politician that has preceded you?
The hour's question:
Should Sarah Palin reimburse Alaska taxpayers for her kids’ travel and entertainment expenses?
