Sarah Palin's EBay Account Is Sad

Governor Sarah Palin got a volley of hoots and hollers when she boasted about selling her jet on EBay. Only one problem: She didn't. It was posted on EBay in 2006, but it languished on the site (you have to know what you're doing to move product on EBay--kinda like running a country, but smaller). Palin was going for a fiscal responsibility note, but the gesture has widened the perception of Palin as a liability for the McCain campaign.

Eight months after the item was listed on EBay, an aircraft broker sold the Westwind II for 2.1 million to business man named Larry Reynolds (down from 2.7 million). Reynolds lived in nearby Valdez.

Palin's over-claim underscores what critics have been saying since her speech Wednesday night (and before that as well), that the governor from Alaska was not thoroughly vetted by the McCain camp.

We'll be taking a look at the bridge to nowhere (more specifically the road to the bridge to nowhere) over the weekend.

Stay tuned.
