Poor, Pitiful Palin

[SamIam]

PALIN: Says she made frugality a point when traveling on state business as Alaska governor, asking "only" for reasonably priced rooms and not "often" going for the "high-end, robe-and-slippers" hotels.
THE FACTS: Although travel records indicate she usually opted for less-pricey hotels while governor, Palin and daughter Bristol stayed five days and four nights at the $707.29-per-night Essex House luxury hotel (robes and slippers come standard) overlooking New York City's Central Park for a five-hour women's leadership conference in October 2007. With air fare, the cost to Alaska was well over $3,000. Event organizers said Palin asked if she could bring her daughter. The governor billed her state more than $20,000 for her children's travel, including to events where they had not been invited, and in some cases later amended expense reports to specify that they had been on official business.

Palin’s book appears to be attempting to re-write history. Yet even the dumbest high school kid knows that history is written by the winners, not by the losers. It gets even worse when you are a loser who is writing self-aggrandizing propaganda and expecting us all to swallow it whole. Anyone around here have some antacid?
