Palin "declines pay raise"

Come on people, do the math. Our not so esteemed governor declined a pay raise of $25,000 per year, that's good right? Hmmm, she has charged $60 per day per diem to live in HER OWN HOME, plus travel expenses for her family in the amount of $43,490. Let's see, decline $25,000 and take $61,490. No one said she was stupid, but did we think she was this flagrant?
