Wow. Looks like she spent way too much time hanging out with the "compassionate conservatives" at the RNC.

HONOLULU (AP) - Governor Lingle is being urged by social service agencies to release state funds appropriated to help the poor....
The groups are seeking the lifting of restrictions that are holding up the release of close to 25 (m) million dollars.
The money is earmarked for a variety of programs, including those that provide food for the poor and those that help victims of domestic violence.
The state administration says the governor is waiting to hear from the Council on Revenues, which is scheduled to meet Thursday.
KHON news last night showed empty shelves at various area food banks, including Palama Settlement.
Maybe she'll explain to the hungry families that this is all part of a power struggle between her and the Legislature: "Just because you appropriate the money doesn't mean you get to spend it!"
I'm sure that'll make the kids feel a lot better...
