Aw, I think it's cute, EW, that you want to think of her as "Sarah Plain and Tall", but really, she's no different from any other politician. I don't fault her any more than anyone else since so many of them do it, but it certainly plays against any kind of label of "maverick", "reformer" and god knows, "fiscal conservative".

The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel.
