Sarah Palin Superfeminist
While much is being written about Sarah Palin's extreme religion (her churches speak in tongues and fight demons, so does she?), little is being written about Palin's equally extreme feminism.
In separate filings, the state was billed about $25,000 for Palin's daughters' expenses and $19,000 for her husband's.
Flights topped the list for the most expensive items, and the daughter whose bill was the highest was Piper, 7, whose flights cost nearly $11,000, while Willow, 14, claimed about $6,000 and Bristol, 17, accounted for about $3,400.
One event was in New York City in October 2007, when Bristol accompanied the governor to Newsweek's third annual Women and Leadership Conference, toured the New York Stock Exchange and met local officials and business executives. The state paid for three nights in a $707-a-day hotel room.
Those numbers are incredible. And they reveal Sarah Palin is such a feminist that she believes every day is Fly Your Daughter to Work Day!
Update 1: Marcy Wheeler gets snarky:
Think about it! If women everywhere just billed their employers for lugging their kids on business trips, it would strengthen families and make it easier for women to sustain vibrant careers. And I'm sure the corporations picking up the tab won't mind about the cost, given the way it would strengthen families ...
Nah, they wouldn't mind at all!
