Palin: "The state jet, it's sold!" (in welcome home address)
Well, without her new boss there pulling the strings, she flubbed her line, "That state jet .... it's sold." No mention of eBay.

OR it could be a concession that the ebay thing was a load of hoo ha. Take your pick.

Small victories friends, small victories.

I'm gonna overlook the fact that for a VP candidate to use passive voice in a speech like that shows a lack finesse. Whatever.

McCain was in Vegas July 30th. Thats right, the plane Palin sold went to Vegas and was still listed as belonging to the Alsaka state government when John McCain made his first public policy change about drilling statement IN VEGAS the last weekend of July.

4. It was a concession
She was a dolt to push the lie for so long when everyone knew it was bullshit. She'll have to backtrack and eat crow about the bridge too.

Her public appearances are simply style over substance so far, repeating the same lines over and over at repug pep rallies. She's got her talking points straightened out but that's about all anyone's heard her talk about since she got the nod from McCain.
