Does this woman ever tell the truth?
Last night moose-eating vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin reminded America of one of her best qualifications to serve in high office—she put a jet on eBay. “I came to office promising major ethics reform to end the culture of self-dealing, and today that ethics reform is the law. While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the Governor’s Office that I didn’t believe our citizens should have to pay for. That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay,” she said.
Of course, Palin never mentioned that though she did list the jet on eBay, she didn’t sell it on eBay.
After going unsold for months, the jet was put into the hands of Turbo North Aviation, an Anchorage aircraft broker, which put an asking price of $2.45 million on the nearly $2.7 million jet. It quickly sold to Alaska businessman Larry Reynolds for $2.1 million ($31,000 of which went to Turbo Aviation). Today the Westwind II jet spends its days ushering wealthy hunters around Alaska and Russia.
Truly a Speech to Nowhere.
