Loose change you can believe in reimburse

Wow, the petty thieving is thick in this one:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has billed taxpayers for 312 nights spent in her own home during her first 19 months in office, charging a "per diem" allowance intended to cover meals and incidental expenses while traveling on state business.

She's been Governor for about 570 days, she's been home about 60% of the time and she's still billing the state a per diem? She really is trying out to replace Bush isn't she?

Nice graft if you can get it.
