Palin Always Looking Out for the Tax Payers

Here's a somewhat surprising statistic, given that we're talking about "maverick" Sarah Palin here. She charged the state of Alaska over $43,000 during her term as governor for travel, and billed the taxpayers $17,000 for per diem expenses, while traveling away.

The catch? Most of the money was for traveling to her home. Apparently, instead of staying in the governor's mansion, Sarah and Todd Palin spent 312 nights in her own home, in Wasilla, 600 miles away. And they charged the state for travel and food expenses.

I bet it would've been a lot cheaper if she hasn't sold that private jet.
