mein gott.  is this the best they got?  besides, she said "put" in her speech. 

but, by golly, the MSM is doing their due diligence following up on this potentially scandalous
revelation. :whatever:

The eBay Myth

In their first post-convention appearance, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., gushed about his running mate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin with a story that doesn't quite square with reality.

"You know what I enjoyed the most?" McCain said in Cederburg, Wisconsin, according to ABC News' Bret Hovell. "She took the luxury jet that was acquired by her predecessor and sold it on e-Bay. And made a profit!"

What a delightful story.

But it's not true.

She didn't sell the jet on eBay.

And she didn't make a profit.

The Democrats sold their credibility on eBay a long time ago.

She said she put it on ebay.  She did.  She also sold it. Not on ebay. Big deal.  She took a loss of a cpl hundred thousand. Anybody want to tell me how much it cost to maintain, fuel, store and man a crew for a private jet?  Alaska didn't lose money on getting rid of that plane.

Scandal over.
