I am sorry, I thought we were talking about Cindy here, I see we are going back and forth on both...one a wife of a nominee and the other a nominee, who is a woman.
Hard to keep who is who and doing what with who and spending what where... I am following now, seems to me that is Alaska's problem and maybe they should have addressed it at the time?
In MA...when the Governor went out and leased himself a brand new car, people stood up and screamed, he toned it down real fast.
It went something like this...
"Governor Deval Patrick for the first time publicly expressed regret yesterday for spending thousands of dollars on new office decor and a luxury car lease , but stood behind his wife’s need for a $72,000 aide and the effort to make his corner office suitable for visitors.
“Oh, yeah, we screwed up,” Patrick told a horde of reporters, a day after promising to repay the state for office furnishings and a portion of the lease for his official car. “I am so sorry that we all have spent the kind of time we have on what we have spent time on, and I am sorry to have been responsible for that.”
The new governor’s public mea culpa came after a week of spiraling reports about his spending of taxpayer money, including $1,166 each month on a Cadillac DTS and $12,306 on new draperies in his office."
So maybe Alaska needed to speak up and question when it was happening....I would think it was inappropriate spending myself.
LOL explain anyone?
Amen!
), but blatant hypocrisy can always make me cringe. But then again, this was the same crowd that APPLAUDED that Todd Palin is an Ironworker.

Giving up on the process is basically handing the country over to the wing-nuts. A week from Tuesday, you can bet we'll have our home-made "VOTE NO" signs posted right next to the slick mass-produced "VOTE YES" signs at the 75' perimeter at our local polling places. I expect we'll be subjected to some additional level of ridicule but if we can change just one mind, and then another one, and another one, it will all be worthwhile.
