Posting this, Palin ping on the way :D.

Who cares?

Amazing how the MSM is still going after Palin even though her ticket lost and she's not in any national role.

I can't wait to hear Palin's CPAC speech, she should unleash with both barrels.

Not sure why this is news, but it sounds like this person didnt waste any money. Any word on Biden’s staff expenditures?

[redk]

Oh wait now I get it. Rachel D’Obama wrote this. Figures.

[yongin]

Big deal. The Obamas spent at least $9 million on their Christmas vacation in HI.

[lonestar]

My gosh! You'd think she took a Hawaiian vacation!

[sionnsar]

Yawn. Put this in context with other campaigns and then I MIGHT be concerned.

[ElkGroveDan]

BFD this is so routine. Why is it a story>>>>

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

$13K?? THis is supposed be a big number or something? Am I supposed to be dumbstruck that this is a big deal in a presidential campaign where the opposition spent $600 million? Nevertheless, we’ll unquestionably be hearing alllllll about this huge, astoundingly extravagent number from the GMA crowd as if it’s a crime against humanity.

[SeaHawkFan]

How much did Obama’s 2-3 trips to HI cost?

Hey all, just as an aside... once again this week, there has been a lot of Palin chatter in the news about this Ziegler interview (which I thought was great BTW). I keep wondering if the everyday MSM news about Palin is ever going to die down a bit. Conservatives who are following her actual progress in AK, never, but I am really starting to feel like it is shaping up to be an all out 4 year WAR w/ the MSM regarding Sarah. Even w/ Messiah’s coronation week after next, they still can’t stop talking about and smearing her. In some ways it’s kind of funny to watch idiots like Shuster, but on the other hand I just wish Sarah would be covered when there is REAL news to report on... She seems to be minding her own business and governing, but there has always been something seemingly everyday. This Zeigler interview was no big deal to me, yet it has completely blown up the last few days.

I guess it’s good to keep the irons hot, but 4 years is a long time. I can’t wait to hear her at CPAC and to start throwing gobs of $$ at her PAC when it starts, but hopefully, post inauguration will be the start of the “die down” period. Obama is going to make such a mess of things, but MSM will give him a pass as long as possible, which means as I heard John Gibson put it on Fri, the GW Palin smears will never stop... Sigh...

The media will do anything to disparage her and will do everything to cover up the real corruption of the Left, it’s pretty plain to see.

In the 2000 presidential campaign, then Texas-Gov. George W. Bush turned over his duties to Lt. Gov. Rick Perry when Bush was out of state. In identical circumstances in the 1992 presidential campaign, then Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton turned over his duties to the lieutenant governor, Jim Guy Tucker, as called for in that state's constitution.

Not a fair comparison with Sarah Palin. Both George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were running for President, and were on the campaign trail a LONG time. Sarah Palin was only announced in late August, so was on the campaign trail for no more than 2-1/2 months. Sounds like she handled things well, regardless.

They are really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. Maybe their other reporters are out tracking down the latest scoop, Todd and Sarah Palin are really Gypsies, and they stole all those kids.
