THis was not a luxury plane used by her predisesor, this was a plane that was used to transport prisoners to Last chance state Arizona. The plane was NEVER sold on EBAY. She embelished this. It was sold to an investor for 300K less than asking price. NOT ON EBAY.

Every 3 or four hours I find out another one of her lies. I guess in her part of Alaska, they may not have high speed internet yet

Actually, she said she put the plane on Ebay. She did not say she sold it.

You lose.

Try harder next time.

She said she "put it on ebay" not "sold it" she got no bids while it was on ebay and then sold it privately.

Yeah.

She's not a liar.

She's a misleader.

Duh.

The great thing about Google News is that you can use it to search for old news stories.

Turns out, the governor did push for the jet. And Palin did put it on eBay, twice. And she did eventually sell the jet, although the sale didn't go through eBay.

More lies from the left. You guys should go back to talking about her hairstyle.

Default Shocked

I don't know what to believe any more.

Go figure. She used the plane as a point of ridicule against ex-Gov. Murkowski and now she's using it to boost her creds.

Palin said the Public Safety Department needs an aircraft that's more versatile then the Westwind II and that can land on more runways around rural Alaska.

She said she'll get around the far-flung state the same way previous governors have -- on commercial flights, and in the state's old King Air propeller planes, like the one she used to fly from Anchorage to Fairbanks on Tuesday.

Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton said that because the Legislature wouldn't approve money for the jet, the Murkowski administration bought it the way you might buy a car -- making regular payments over 15 years while paying no money down.

The state makes quarterly payments of $62,492.79 on the jet, she said. After the payment due Friday, Alaska will still owe $2,516,386.06.
Very impressive. This is the kind of pork-cutter DC needs, as opposed to SOME who talk a lot about wasteful spending, but never follow through. She fits right in with McCain's attitude about pork.

I don't get it. What is she misleading you about?

What's the big deal between "putting it" on Ebay to sell, but not selling it, and selling it?

What is she "misleading," and to what effect?


Palin Derangement Syndrome --- a hybrid version of Bush Derangement Syndrome, and some leftover Hillary hate mixed in to taste.

Another lie from the left.

When are you people going to realize that Sarah has become a pop icon!

Perfect example of a liberal here, they do not even understand how ebay works.

See liberals cannot run a small business because they do not understand it.

Next thing you will whine that she sold it to cheap when she did.

How about talking about the 2,069.00 check Sarah Palin just wrote her citizens of Alaska on the profits made on the pipeline???

If she were a dem you wouldn't even know they made a profit let alone no dem would share the profits with you.

More Palin lies.

Keep dreamin libs, your nightmare is about over.
