First of all, she's a former governor, which makes it different from John and Jill Minivan. Second, she is threatened on a daily basis, so some security arrangements are proper. Third, this guy has nothing better to do? One of his colleagues is sending lewd & lacivious e-mails & tweets, his president is wasting trillions and we have three wars going on and he spends time on this? And how can he "demand" anything from Gov. Palin?

[Talisker]

Shut up, Earl.

So, I guess he will next be demanding that all politicians, including our idiotic President, pay up for extra expenses occurred during trips, such as holding up traffic for hours costing private businesses revenue and people to miss work and using Air Force 1 and 2 for carting around relatives?

This is your government => sorry, but entering the government's national parks is only by special privilege and appointment.

All the left has is pettiness in their soul. Obama and his group spend millions of taxpayer dollars on vacations and trips but a retired governor is what they complain about.

And yet another example of why the Dem logo is a jackass.

Rep. Earl Blumenauer got himself a serious case of butt hurt, I’d say.

"I respectfully request that you provide a written explanation of the Park Service's policies on the use of taxpayer-funded resources for publicity events, as well as an accounting of Park Service resources that have been utilized by the 'One Nation' tour," he said in the letter to Jarvis.

As a tax payer I would like to know how much extra expense it cost to produce the accounting of Park Services resources requested by Blumenauer in his political based attack on Palin's bus tour.. They are a government agency it could substantial.

On the scale of importance....LOL.

These Red Diaper Doper Babies REALLY have their knickers in a knot now, don’t they?

Go Mama Grizzly!

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) another geek who wears bow ties and rides a bike to work. Wonder about his twitter messages?

This guy gets an attack of morality on the budget when Dems haven’t passed a budget in 750days...

Reporters weren’t forced to follow her, tie up traffic, pee on the roadside; they chose to follow her like dogs in heat...

I would like the Obama’s to reimburse the American people for the photo shoot over NY and for flying their dog on a separate plane to Hawaii.

And while they are at wasting more money on this lame investigation tally up how many extra visitors came as a result of her being there and paid fees for the privilege.

Also, how about figuring out how much the advertising would have cost the Park Service for the publicity it received for free. I said there was a net gain in value for the Park Service for her visit!

[newzjunkey]

I don’t see the problem here. It’s about keeping a celebrity “honest” and accounting for government resources.
