Here's a breakdown.

Still much to be explained I think. Oh, I know. Don't bother to comment. This can't possibly be wrong. Same old song. |
I realize this poster is stressed over this so thought would help out a bit.....instead of presenting it out of context I thought maybe we should see the story in context.....following is a quote from the article and then the link to read (it is short)...
"Many of the trips (graphic) were to ferry her children and husband from their hometown of Wasilla to the state capital of Juneau, which is 600 miles away, The Post reported.
Palin's spokeswoman, Sharon Leighow, said the expenses are not unusual, noting that each of Palin's five children could have claimed a per diem expense and that Palin often did not seek out reimbursement for meals.
Palin has spent far less on travel than her predecessor, former Gov. Frank Murkowski, who spent $463,000 on travel in 2006. Palin spent $93,000 last year, records show."

AMAZING when you read it in context !!!
Same basic subject, the link below is an article concerning both Gov Palin and Sen Biden's financial situation. It is neither pro or con anyone...simply showing that either of them would be the poorest VP ever !
