What the McCain/Palin theocracy will look like

Oh, that Sarah Palin is a piece of work. No wonder she makes the Republican base so happy, she sees nothing wrong with using state funds to travel to her to her old church in Wasilla to exhort the youth to "make sure God's will be done here":

State records show that Palin submitted a travel authorization for a quick round-trip visit to attend the June 8 graduation of the Master's Commission program at the Wasilla Assembly of God, the church where she was baptized at age 12. The only other item on the agenda for that trip was a "One Lord Sunday" service involving a network of Mat-Su Christian churches earlier that morning at the Wasilla sports complex.

The records show Palin flew from Juneau to Anchorage on Saturday, June 7. She returned to Juneau that Monday afternoon. The plane tickets cost the state $519.50, and she claimed an additional $120 for meals and other expenses.

Palin couldn't be reached for comment Friday as she campaigned for vice president. Her spokeswoman at the McCain campaign said she wouldn't grant an interview.

Of course not. Asking any questions of Sarah Palin is sexist, don'tcha know.
