...then you know it can be proven that she's saying a lie, saying a lie. Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah saying a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeee....
( Apologies to whoever wrote "Staying Alive")
Sooo, Sarah Palin, the maverick reformer and opponent of earmarks and the fabled Bridge to Nowhere, she who opposes government waste:
Washington Post: Governor Palin billed the state of Alaska for 317 nights travel and lodging expense...to stay in her own home. Travel expense, possibly ethical, possibly legal. Lodging expense for staying in your own damned house??? Probably neither. Jeez, did she declare that as rental income?
She also charged the state for a trip to a church, where she told the congregation to pray for an Alaskan pipeline. To Canada. Drill baby drill, so we can send the oil to countries other than the US.
AP is reporting that Sarah Palin and John McCain criticized Obama's earmarks to Illinois, yet Alaska citizens got 10 times as much per capita under Palin, as did citizens of Wasilla after she hired a lobbyist.
She "stopped the Bridge to Nowhere" according to McCain ads. But she demonstrably supported it only until it was clear Congress wasn't paying for it. Then she withdrew support.
And kept all those US taxpayer dollars ( $298 million) and used them for projects around the state. She didn't save taxpayers a dime, except perhaps Alaskan state taxpayers.
The only Straight Talk in the McCain/Palin campaign is, they lie straight to your face.
Off to 3 days of manager training. Don't know how much I'll be able to write. Jobs are pesky things, at times.
