Palin Falsified Expense Reports?

From the AP:

Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business.

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.

So, she brought her kids along on trips that they weren't officially invited to attend, then later went back and amended the expense reports to make it look otherwise? Is that not the same as falsification? All told, Gov. Palin has bilked the state of Alaska for a total of $21,012 for her daughters' air travel since she was elected in 2006. That doesn't include hotel rooms, either.

We know that Palin may owe back taxes on her per diem expenses. We know that she violated state ethics laws in the "Troopergate" matter. We know that the RNC has shelled out $150,000 for Palin's wardrobe in this campaign. Is it really any wonder that she has brought the Republican ticket crashing down? In fact, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, she's even a bigger liability now for McCain than George W. Bush. And that's saying something.
