An aide to Sarah Palin is disclosing as gifts more than $13,000 in airfare and lodging from the John McCain campaign, logged while helping the Alaska governor with state business during her bid as the Republican vice presidential candidate.

Posting this, Palin ping on the way :D.

Who cares?

>>Who cares?<<

Not me.

I know, this keeps being reported with headlines that make it look sketchy. I don’t get what the big deal is. Am I missing something?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

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.

You're not missing anything. That's exactly how they want it to sound.

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

[Toki]

Sorry, I just thought it was intersting and I didn’t see it posted. I guess I posted it wrong. I think it’s just another sign of media bias, and something they might to use against her. I

[lonestar]

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

[devane617]

I agree. Why are they after her even after the election is over. She is like showing a cross to a vampire. The msm is going nuts, as well as libs.

/blushes
Yeah I guess I should have read over it better.

[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>>>>

[redk]

I keep thinking it has to die down. However, when they aren't bankrupting the country the Obama’s are the most boring first couple ever. So we may see this for a while.

[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?
