Yes, Sean, but that's a distinction almost without a difference. She
didn't say she failed to sell it on ebay.
She said she "put in on ebay" which amounted to a little plug.
Hey, the Dems have their backers too.
Letting the political stuff edge in on MOPO will be detrimental to the
list, so I suggest canning it, everybody.

Actually she never said that she sold it on eBay at all – her line
was that she “put it on eBay”, which of course is absolutely true.
(You can watch that part of her speech again here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82hn63DSjGE&feature=related

But you’ve never let the truth stop you before, so why do it now?

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Is Ebay using the GOP Presidential race and
Sarah Palin to promote itself?
This is so weird, I just have to ask the question: Is Ebay so
desperate that it is trying to promote itself through the GOP
Presidential race? No doubt everyone knows by now that former CEO
Meg Whitman was previously an advisor to Mitt Romney's failed
presidential campaign and is now one of John McCain's chief advisors
being one of the several people he indicated he most admired and
sought professional advice from. Well, Sarah Palin has mentioned
several times now in her stump speech in which she lists all her
accomplishments as Governor of Alaska that he successfully auctioned
off on Ebay the luxury Alaskan state jet bought by the previous
government for use by her office. Turns out that's not true. After
going unsold for months, the jet was put in 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 was ultimately sold
privately to an Alaskan business man for $2.1 million, $31,000 of
which went to Turbo Aviation as a sales commission. Why is Sarah
Palin lying about an Ebay connection? It doesn't diminish whatever
accomplishment she achieved in selling an Alaskan state jet but it
strangely propels Ebay into the headlines and promotes it as an
effective selling tool in the public's eyes. I find this very
puzzling. Does anybody else? FRANC
