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....

After all the media lies about this family nobody gives a sh-t what the media says now
Let’s see, this has been written about how many times since 09/01?
and yet... crickets chirp over Obama investigations, let alone Biden.
steve, you’re sounding like a broken record. Why are you here?
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again...
... and did their diet consist of Iranian caviar and lobster, like Michelle Obama?
Dear Lord, this is silly.
And, isn’t the Palin home 600 miles from the governor’s mansion?
I love your tagline! Brilliant!
Were her expenses approved by the state?
If Gov. Palin didn’t bring the kids along, these “journalists” would have charged her with ignoring them by leaving them to their wits alone at home. The old Pravda would be proud. Interesting how the “investigations” at AP, ABC and the other bozos never seem to find Barack Obama’s drug dealer; the Illinois bank employee who was fired for refusing to revalue the land purchased by their nice neighbors, the Rezkos, and resold to them at cheap prices; just how it was that Obama had so many contacts with Ayers, “who was just some guy who lives in my neighborhood”, but they can find all sorts of minutiae about a governor of Alaska with an 87 percent approval rate.
Yeah, we see where this is coming from.
I guess no one at Newsreek knows about "kids under 18 stay free" clauses either.
Yet, NOT A PEEP about Biden riding Amtrak round-trip, first class, everyday for how many years?
The mainstream media will NEVER recover from this campaign.
So, if Bristol hadn’t stayed in her mother’s room in New York City, how much would the room have cost per night?
Think how much she could have saved the people of Alaska if she just aborted the whole brood.
$21,012?? Big deal...Obama spills more than that on the bar...in one night....during unhappy hours. I wonder how much of that foundation money went astray??...how much campaign money falls between the cracks?? $21k?...not even petty cash!!!
It’s funny. it’s getting to the point where when I see a post like this, I know without looking that it’s “steve”. How predictable.
The only other time I have experienced this in the last couple of years was when I would read an article in my local fishwrap (Miami Herald) and it was very anti-military, constantly talking down our troops and predicting failure in Iraq. I knew right away that it was a “journalist” named Tom Lassiter.
Just as predictable.
My company once invited my family to a fairly nice going away party (I was moving to a better job) even though it was unprecedented in company history. Their reasoning: my family was more important to me than another watch, which was their usual parting gift.
I was really insulted about not getting the watch. < / sarcasm >
