The Washington Post has sunk to DailyKos level with a post from Paul Kane:
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee who revealed Monday that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, earlier this year used her line-item veto to slash funding for a state program benefiting teen mothers in need of a place to live.After the legislature passed a spending bill in April, Palin went through the measure reducing and eliminating funds for programs she opposed. Inking her initials on the legislation -- "SP" -- Palin reduced funding for Covenant House Alaska by more than 20 percent, cutting funds from $5 million to $3.9 million. Covenant House is a mix of programs and shelters for troubled youths, including Passage House, which is a transitional home for teenage mothers.
As it turns out, their total government grants in 2006 were $1,194,788. In other words, even after the "slash[ing]" they got almost four times as much from Alaska alone than they did from all government sources in 2006.

So much truth in that statement it's frightening. For the same reasons, too.
This is why sha has an 80% approval rating in Alaska. She is a good steward of their money.

The daughter of Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of obstructing a police officer outside a Chicago bar.
Ashley Blazer Biden, 21, of Wilmington, Del., was with a group of people on a North Side street where several bars are located when someone else threw a bottle at an officer, police said.
When police tried to arrest another person, Biden blocked the officers path and made intimidating statements, officer JoAnn Taylor said.
Biden was later released and is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 20.
Sen. Bidens spokeswoman, Margaret Aitken, declined to comment, calling it a private, family matter.
Hunter Biden, age 38, may be involved in something criminal and the left-leaning press doesnt care. But when Bristol Palin, age 17, does something that makes her human everyone on the left goes crazy.
‘Looks like Ashley and Hunter were products of a poor upbringing because daddy biden was not home with the kids every day.
Everybody do what we can to get this info out. Send it around. Good job!
Ok. I'll bite. Why do "teen mothers" need a place to live? Don't they already have a place? Or do they use their cars for more than just the horizontal bop?
Heh. Just when you think the Washington Post may be ready to step into the void left by the disgraced New York Times as America’s “paper of record”, the Post goes and again exposes itself as just another duplicitous propaganda agent for the DNC. Ah well...
In the end it makes no difference. The “new media” of talk radio and the internet has already stepped into the void because it is here that the truth is discovered.
This very thread is a perfect case in point.
WaPo likes more taxes and no “slashing”. After all, that’s working out great for states like CA and MI.
