    Contacted Friday, Monegan confirmed the travel authorization was to pursue funding for the anti-sexual-violence program. He said the travel authorization form was completed in a fashion consistent with practice, even though it showed no expenditures. The signed form approved the travel, he said, and authorized him to use a government credit card or seek reimbursement for expenses he incurred during the trip.

    Monegan said he didn't know why Palin's chief of staff approved a trip that confounded her other aides. "It sounds like it's a breakdown of communication internal to the governor's staff," he said.


I've seen government employees fired and even indicted for submitting and/or approving incomplete travel vouchers. The Chief of Staff shouldn't have approved it, even it was 'past practice'.


You do understand Monegan is the guy you just called a bozo just a post ago right? He seems to be the only honest one in the bunch. He was just guessing so we probably should wait for McCain's campaign to get something better sounding for Palin to say.

BTW this be MEM your talking to, I know Whomod is your favorite but try to pay attention.

Fair play!
