Comments on: The Palin Bunch Go To Brunch http://tbogg.firedoglake.com/2008/09/08/the-palin-bunch-go-to-brunch/ "...a somewhat popular blogger" Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:11:27 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: warrenterrah http://tbogg.firedoglake.com/2008/09/08/the-palin-bunch-go-to-brunch/comment-page-1/#comment-16394 warrenterrah Wed, 10 Sep 2008 02:22:35 +0000 http://tbogg.firedoglake.com/2008/09/08/the-palin-bunch-go-to-brunch/#comment-16394 <p>My guess about Pipeline is that she’s the youngest so she probably was with HokeyMom the most whereas Willow was at home. And, Bristol, well, Bristol was fooling around with Levi. The bigger question for me is the hubby. Why did hubby have to around that much? BTW, I was talking to somebody who isn’t a political junkie but even she thought it sounded stupid to sell the jet because you would have to have a jet for a state the size of Alaska(this woman has taken one of those Alaskan cruises so she’s not exactly clueless.) Also I heard an interview with the WP reporter that wrote this story and he said that the Palins also used state owned planes(jets?) and the bill for that has not been calculated by the state(well,I’m sure it has but nobody who wants to keep their state job in Alaska is exactly going to release these numbers.)</p> My guess about Pipeline is that she’s the youngest so she probably was with HokeyMom the most whereas Willow was at home.

“Her mind is differently twisted,
she got her Mercedes Benz;
she’s got lots of pretty, pretty boys
that she calls friends….”

Yeah, that could work!

It may be that she flew as an unaccompanied minor; the airlines charge fees for providing supervision (required fror kids under a certain age, like 12 or 14, it varies).</p> <p>Regarding the per diem, maybe they take in lodgers at their Wassila place.
