Actually, nobody really cares. It was said as tongue-in-check.

Palin said she put it on e-bay. That was true.

<That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay," Palin said. Officials in McCain's campaign did not immediately reply to requests for comment.> She never said it was............. She said "she put it on e-bay'...which is true........

"Plane Not Sold on eBay" B.F.D. The article admits she had it listed on eBay. Got a private offer that went though. This trying to spin her into misstatements won't work.

Oops, putting words in her mouth she didn't say. Petty.

"She sold off the former governor's private PLANE on EBAY," Yup, that's correct - the ebay deal fell through, and the plane was eventually sold off ebay. McCain is stretching the truth on this one. Let's all be shocked about it. However, Govenor Palin did sell off the state jet. A nice symbolic statement of reform, dear to incoming governors. While the press is feeling so inquisitive, do you think they could inquire into who got Obama the job as head of Project Annenburg Challege, how he decided on the recipients for over $100 million in philanthropic aid that was meant for Chicago schools, and why no improvement at all, anywhere, was achieved? That's the official verdict, btw. The project was an abject failure. They have really not wanted to know so far. Don't you understand what a disaster all this hue and cry about Palin's unreadiness is for Obama? His experience is even LESS than hers - and he's running for President, not Vice President! And the press unwittingly, is giving the McCain campaign the change to explain it all in loving detail! People are even starting to ask, just what does a community organizer do and what's so great about it? For years, Obama has been able to use the title as a magic phrase for his caring and self-sacrifice. Nobody said the word 'boo'. No more! Now they ask questions.
