"Babygate " conspiracy theorists, this post is for you!

Truthseeker a frequent visitor to this blog, Mudflats, and Palin's Deceptions has taken the travel expense reports and painstakingly compared them to the events that we know were happening around those dates and times and comes up with some fairly startling revelations.

Just put on your tinfoil hats and click the title, I don't believe you will be disappointed.

Now Palin must reimburse the state for ten unnecessary travel expenses for her children instead of nine. Only 132 left to go to achieve justice.

I was going to take this ADN news story, pick it apart, and add a little snark for flavoring, but I have to say that reporter Lisa Demer did such an excellent job of explaining the complexities of this case that it would be a shame to alter it in any way.

I encourage you to click the title and read the news story as written.

The ADN may be a dying newspaper but it does still have a few talented reporters.

However I will add that JUST because the Governor, and the Lt. Governor, "are not considered employees of the state for the purpose of state personnel laws relating to travel allowances", does not excuse them from demonstrating the kind of ethical integrity promised by Sarah Palin when she ran for the office of Governor back in 2006.

Just because there is no consequence for doing something unethical does not mean it is magically transformed into an ethical behavior.
