Sketchy Sexy Sarah, you're a sneaky one!

It's come to light that the Alaskan Governor has been charging the state for her children's travel and accommodations to events - some of which they were not invited to - and later altered the wording in her expense reports to suit the rules.

Great!!!!

Since taking office in December 2006, Palin has charged in total $21,012 for her three daughters' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights, along with an occasional separate hotel room for the girls.

Alaskan law justifies footing the bill for anyone conducting "official" state business. Palin claims on expense reports that her daughters were specifically invited to events that required travel and accommodations.

And that's where things get a little shady!

Some organizers say Sarah sort of sprung Bristol, 17, Willow, 14, and Piper, 7 on them and others say that the Governor requested their presence in addition to her invitation. Still others say that the girls attended but didn't really do much of anything.

Sexy Sarah, ever the "hockey mom," says she likes to keep the kids close so she can spend more time with them. To which we ask, So where are the boys then, huh? 19-year-old Track and baby Trig? It's just a mite suspicious that she only brings her girls with her, don't you think?

So here's a rundown:

-Last year, Palin asked organizers of the New York Women's Leadership Conference if she could bring Bristol with her, and then charged $1385.11 in airfare and four nights at $707.29 a pop at the Essex House hotel overlooking Central Park…to Alaska, of course. What a nice state-supplied little vacation.

-In January, charged travel expenses for herself, Willow, and Piper to a the Alaska Symphony of Seafood Buffet in Anchorage to - we kid you not - "draw two separate raffle tickets." Very serious state business.

-In July Sexy Sarah dragged Bristol and Piper to Philadelphia for a National Governors Association meeting to the tune pf $2741.26, and then put them up in their own room at the Ritz-Carlton for five nights at $215.46 a night. She cited their purpose as "NGA Governor's Youth Programs and family activities." NGA spokeswoman Jodi Omear says the "Programs" are intended as, essentially, daycare.

-In February Palin requested an invitation for Piper to an American Heart Association luncheon in Fairbanks and then surprised organizers with not just one daughter, but all three! Organizers scrambled to alter table arrangements at the last minute while the little ladies shared their own room at the Princess Lodge for two nights, at $129 per night. Just before the luncheon the Palins greeted their father Todd at the finish line of the Iron Dog snowmobile race…conveniently located in Fairbanks. Hey look at that!

-Last year in February, Alaska flew the girls to Anchorage at $519.30 each to kick of the Iron Dog Race and wrote it off as "First Family official starter for the start of the Iron Dog race." That's so cute.

Three weeks before Senator John McCain completely lost his senses and plucked up Sarah for his running mate, she had expense records changed to include the words "First Family attending" and "First Family invited." Just some minor revisions, you know? Has a much nicer ring than oh, let's say, "blatantly using state money to go cavorting all over."

Know what's funnier? In 2006 Sarah made good on her promise to sell a private jet purchased by her predecessor. She sold the jet on eBay at a loss by the state. She could have used that jet to fly her little brood all over, which would have only cost the state per hour as opposed to individual airfare on commercial airlines.

Former Democratic governor of Alaska, Tony Knowles - who lost to Palin in 2006 - is the only other recent governor with school-aged kiddies during his office. And he disapproves.

"There was no valid reason for the children to be along on state business. I cannot recall any instance during my eight years as governor where it would have been appropriate to claim they performed state business."

We just want to know how much "official business" three kids under the age of 17 can actually perform.
