Folks, the lies and tall tales told by Alaska Governor and GOP VP Candidate Sarah Palin have grown bigger and bigger. But this one's huge. And I mean to the tune of nearly one billion dollars.
According to the Associated Press, Palin has requested $750 million in earmarks during her short terms as Alaska's Governor. For just 670,000 people in that state, that comes to $1,119 for each Alaska Resident.
Earlier, I looked at this from a "per-day" perspective and came to the number of $853,623 per day. But that was with just $576 million in requests. This AP-estimate brings that number to $1,875,000 per day.
That's almost $2 million per day.
In addition to this news, the Washington Post charges that Palin used state money simply for nights spent at home. I suspect that money went to the care and feeding of her four kids and I don't write that to be funny at all. The question is, is a $125,000 salary enough for a family of that size? Remember, her husband does not work, so Palin's money is the only one coming in to the house.
That's crazy. The only question is will Fox News report this fact?
