In case you somehow missed it:

ABC Political Punch: "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!"

And:

washingtonpost.com: The video tribute to Palin that aired at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night made the same claim. "She signed sweeping ethics reform legislation, auctioned the governor's jet on eBay," the narrator said, citing it in a list of Palin's achievements.

Fact check:

CNN Political Ticker: But it turns out the twin-engine Westwind II was a tough sell on the Web — and the state eventually pulled it offline and sold it through an ordinary brick-and-mortar brokerage, for a loss, a spokeswoman said Friday.

But don't feel sorry for Gov. Palin:

www.azstarnet.com: Tucson-based Global Aircraft Solutions Inc. on Thursday delivered Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's new campaign plane, an Embraer 190 regional jet complete with the Republican ticket's campaign logo on the fuselage.

I don't feel sorry for her...

I don't like the repubs lying about her and making her out as a Joan of Arc when she is just another corrupt right winger...
She tried to ban books in the town public library when she was mayor...

So I was't going to vote for McCain anyway but I thought he had some kind of sense until he selected her...

As if Biden is a saint?

As if Biden is a saint? Let's not forget that the man Barack chose once called him "...the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

I'd rather have a "corrupt right winger" than a racist left winger as my running mate.

Ignorance is its own reward.
