When eBay Won't Work - Just Pretend it Did

The whole Palin sold the governor's jet on eBay is such a good story. If only it was really true. She had the jet listed on eBay, but nobody bought it. More than 1/2 year later, the jet was finally sold. But not to some online bidder. It was sold to an Alaska businessman named Reynolds who got the listed $2.7 million plane for $2.1 million. Oh yeah, Reynolds had contributed to Palin's run for governor in 2006.

No doubt when McCain and Republicans send out that great laugh line, "and she sold it on eBay," they know that we know they really meant to say, "she sold it for $600,000 less than asked to a campaign contributor."
