Haha Palin and taxes..hehe

Gov. Sarah Palin must pay income taxes on thousands of dollars in expense money she received while living at her Wasilla home, under a new determination by state officials.

The governor's office wouldn't say this week how much she owes in back taxes for meal money, or whether she intends to continue to receive the per diem allowance. As of December, she was still charging the state for meals and incidentals.

"The amount of taxes owed is a private matter," Sharon Leighow, Palin's spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. "If the governor collects future per diem, those documents would be a matter of public record."

The revelation about Palin comes as U.S. senators, including Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, are under scrutiny over back taxes. A survey by the political newspaper and Web site Politico (www.politico.com) found that Begich was one of seven senators who acknowledged owing back taxes.

Some other state employees also owe back income taxes for travel payments and will be getting revised tax forms, Annette Kreitzer, state administration commissioner, said in an e-mail.

She wouldn't say which, or how many, employees will be receiving the notifications

1. Palin has jumped the shark.

She did it some time ago. I'd like to see a poll here on when exactly she jumped the shark. Was it the Couric interview? Charley? The turkey incident? I wouldn't know because as far as I was concerned, she jumped the shark from day one.

3. Palin was the shark that the rethugs jumped

she was NEVER a 'real' contender, IMO, nothing but a moose killin'* muckraker.




* All moose were killed from a safe distance and Palin probably wouldn't actually be able to stalk prey to save her vapid life.
