State Paid Travel Costs For Palin's Church Speech

You know that viral video of Sarah Palin talking to graduating evangelical students at Wasilla Assembly of God earlier this summer?

The one where she urges them to pray that when it comes to Iraq "there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."

The same one in which she tells them to pray for a gas pipeline, saying "I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that."

Well, it turns out she used state funds to cover her travel expenses there -- a total of $639.50.

Remember when the separation of church and state used to mean something?
