Sarah Palin's EBay Account Is Sad
Governor Sarah Palin got a volley of hoots and hollers when she boasted about selling her jet on EBay. Only one problem: She didn't. It was posted on EBay in 2006, but it languished on the site (you have to know what you're doing to move product on EBay--kinda like running a country, but smaller). Palin was going for a fiscal responsibility note, but the gesture has widened the perception of Palin as a liability for the McCain campaign.
Eight months after the item was listed on EBay, an aircraft broker sold the Westwind II for 2.1 million to business man named Larry Reynolds (down from 2.7 million). Reynolds lived in nearby Valdez.
Palin's over-claim underscores what critics have been saying since her speech Wednesday night (and before that as well), that the governor from Alaska was not thoroughly vetted by the McCain camp.
We'll be taking a look at the bridge to nowhere (more specifically the road to the bridge to nowhere) over the weekend.
Stay tuned.

"This is the Republican
"This is the Republican nominee for President. But at least he's white? What else could it be?"
You know calling someone racist is a very harsh thing to say. I happen to be married to a Mexican. I bet you can't even think of something racist the Republicans have done. I guess Lincoln was a racist. Democrats resided over this country during the harshest times in Black History. Do you happen to know that the largest slave cemetery is in New York City. Do you have any idea why the Watt's Riots started (The segregation of New York City in an effort to push black people out). Are you aware that China Town in San Fransisco was burned down twice by racist? Personally I would love to see Condoleezza Rice run for President. She would kick your butt. Calling me racist because I'm Republican is the same as racial profiling. I don't assume your dumb just because you're a Democrat.
