>No, your point was on whether or not it was sold on ebay and whether there was a lie about ebay. Thats nitpicking. My point was: "It's important because it's part of this ridiculously untrue anti-pork-crusader image that the McCain campaign is trying to quickly assemble for Palin." Even if that plane was unnecessary, it really isn't much. There's nothing, NOTHING that justifies the anti-pork image that the McCain campaign is building for her. >As for keeping the money, governors generally don't give money back to the federal govt. They figure their own state residents pay federal gas taxes too, and figure out a good way to use the money. Well, right, that's what federal allocations are all about. But if you're truly a principled "anti-pork crusader," you don't. >Its fair game and I invite you all to waste your time on this and other piddly inconsequential disputes. Which is exactly why the McCain campaign doesn't mind building her image based on a series of lies... they're trying to draw fire from the left and keep the focus off of the issues, while rallying the base partially based on that false image. And I have to admit they're succeeding a bit. But only a bit. -Z
