1. Are those styrofoam columns?? n/t

[valerief]

13. LOL! Yeah, from some Hollywood set!

:rofl:

[Wheezy]

2. and she's making fun of columns? n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. Nice digs, looks just like my house.

:rofl:

4. Ok, but that is the governor's mansion...

...in Alaska, correct?

We can hardly fault her for living in the governor's mansion--where every
Alaskan governor is allowed to live during their tenure.

8. Agreed, the interesting thing is to see what her and todd made

for their home when she was a PTA activist.

5. Is it PINK????

sure looks pink :shrug:

6. Ronald Reagan built a garish governor's mansion in California, which

Jerry Brown refused to live in during his governorship. If I'm not mistaken, no governor has lived in it since.

7. Not a great line of attack

its not like she owns it.

[uppityperson]

9. It is white, on a hill, not a huge place. Try again.

As far as a governor's house, it isn't big or impressive beyond having columns. I lived near there and no, not worth making any fuss over. You do know that most governors have a place provided for them to live in, right?

12. hey, my state doesn't even have a governor's mansion

to me it's completely weird that other states do.

[XemaSab]

15. We have one

It's a museum in Sacramento.

Most governors live in ordinary houses in ordinary neighborhoods. :shrug:

[geek_sabre]

10. is she supposed to live in a car?

That's the governor's mansion. Meaning anyone who is the governor lives there. It is owned by the people.

[leftofcool]

11. And other state mansions are bigger than that

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. True. Here's ours. What does yours look like?

14. I get your point

She claims she refused all the lavish perks of being governor, including letting the cook go. She didn't give up this perk as she could have. One more part of her speech not to take seriously.

[PM7nj]

17. That's modest compared to some governor's mansions.

Have you ever seen Drumthwacket?

The Kentucky Governor's Mansion is insane as well...
