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.

You actually want to talk cheating?
Lets see, McCain met his current in a bar while he was still married, that tower of republican integrity Newt Gingrich cheated on about every wife he ever had, walked out on one while she was in the hospital with cancer, and was having an affair while he was also pushing for Clinton's impeachment for his.
Then there's Henry Hyde, the chairman of that witch hunt, who also had his "youthful indiscretion" while married at the age of 41, and how could we forget Dan "scumbag" Burton who actually had a child out of wedlock with one of his mistresses, or Bob Livingston, or Rudy Giuliani,or Bob Barr, or Bernard Kerik, or David Vittner, or Vito Fossella, or many others; and that's not even getting the gay and child molestation stuff.
So please, tell us some more about those righteous conservatives values.
