This is funny, not because it's not true, but because being from Philly (home of the left-leaning Inquirer) the Globe always struck me as right-of-center, politically. Now I find out it's actually the liberal flagship of Boston. Who knew?

And she also flew her kids to political events around the country, and charged their meals, rooms and event tickets to the Alaska governor's office (and hence, the taxpayers). She claimed the kids (aged 13 and 17) were on "official business" which meant in one instance, they drew the winning raffle ticket from a big bingo-mixing ball.
But if elected VP, she promises to clean up Washington of all this wasteful spending, just like she did in Juneau. :wink
