Palin won't reveal her finances until after debate

By SHARON THEIMER, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 18 minutes ago

Sarah Palin requested and received an extension of the deadline for revealing her personal finances, until the day after her only debate with Democrat Joe Biden.

The Republican vice presidential candidate received a four-day extension Thursday from the Federal Election Commission.

The federal financial disclosure report was initially due next Monday. Now, Palin has until Oct. 3, the day after her debate in St. Louis with Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee.

Earlier this month, Biden released a decade of personal financial records that showed the veteran U.S. senator from Delaware earned less than many of his congressional colleagues. For example, Biden and his wife, Jill, earned $319,853 in 2007. On Thursday, Biden submitted an updated report to the Federal Election Commission

Presidential, vice presidential and congressional candidates must all file ethics reports outlining their assets and liabilities. That includes such things as sources of income, real estate held for investment purposes, stocks and debt.

Trevor Potter, general counsel for the McCain-Palin campaign, told the FEC that the campaign initially thought it had until Oct. 4 to file the report, but then learned the FEC set an earlier due date.

1. Which means never. Since they're trying to scuttle the VP debate entirely.

These people are scum. Lying, disgusting scum.

Of course there's plenty of impropriety to hide, I'm sure.

2. How convenient, since they plan to "indefinitely" postpone her debate

....More reasons why McClueless wants to take her debate spot next week.

3. NEW RULES!!!!

I call. From now on, ALL candidates for president and vice-president must submit to mandatory drug testing, full medical and psychological testing, and all financial records submitted PRIOR TO being allowed to run for office. No more blocking obstructing or delay functions. Total vetting by an independant comittee should be the norm. What are these jokers trying to hide from us?

4. So what happens if she just doesn't give the info?

Is that illegal? Would she be disqualified from running? Or is this one of those things that's "required" unless you're a Republican then you can do whatever you want with no consequences?
