Alaska funded Palin kids’ travel

Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business.

The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel.

It seems ‘ethics’ is optional with the caribou barbi package…

  1. McCain advisors like Charlie Black have already tested the controversy and it comes out a plus for Sarah Palin. Perhaps the biggest issue is how did she get such a cheap rate at the Ritz Carlton for her daughters? McCain strategist Martin Eisenstadt raised that issue:
