FYI the news story reports that the state of Palin has billed the state of Alaska for her kids travel as state business and her own travel to watch her husband compete in dog sled races.

I don't really care about this.  I imagine it's pretty common.  We all get work to pay for things when we can.

I think the $150k the RNC spent on clothes for Palin is worse.

Neither is anything that really gets my goat.

Her suits are awesome, though. I would be in it just for the clothes.

It is theft, just on a smaller scale. Remember the outrage at AIG? There is little different with this other than the amount of money spent. It doesn't really get my goat either, I am just making a point.

I would've creamed my pants. I LOVE Clinton. I want to sit with him and drink wine. He'd tell me dirty jokes and just be completely raunchy.  Good times would be had by all.

Not that I have some sort of "Hanging out with Clinton" fantasy.

I so want to marry Jon Stewart.

Maybe these guys were on to something?

Its getting work to pay for stuff, except work = goverment and pay = tax dollars.

Not the best use of funds when McCain's entire platform is built upon the need to cut useless government spending

Regarding this non-issue stuff: Palin's family travel, Palin's wardrobe

I don't think it matters much to people's votes, but it probably matters because it eats up a few days of the news cycle, that McCain needs to catch up.

See, but I don't think its a non-issue. 

If she spends $150,000 of campaign money on a new wardrobe, what's she gonna do when she has access to public money?  This is an indication.  Is that where you want YOUR tax dollars spent?

Her wardrobes aren't her choice, I don't think.  It's the decision of the GOP.  That money is to get their team elected, and if dressing her like a rock-star helps them achieve that, then it's money well spent.

It does undercut their message of her being a regular mom.  Again, it's also a distraction.  We're talking about clothes instead of policy.

Personally I think Palin should wear tight jeans and see through white tank tops with no bra.

But that is just me.

The RNC purchased her wardrobe and it's being donated to charity after the election.  THis was predecided.

BTW ... I'm in if she wants to wear Maine's suggested wardrobe as well but I'm really nto that Wonder Woman thing she has going on!!

The $150k the RNC spent violates federal election law.
