What is perplexing, however, are unnecessary lies. Silly falsehoods,
said for no apparent reason, on topics that the world would have
totally avoided had you not lied about it in the first place. One
strange Sarah Palin falsehood, which she acclaimed as truth yesterday
and the campaign reaffirmed tonight in video was that she successfully
auctioned a private jet she deemed unnecessary for the State of Alaska
to maintain on eBay. It's a strange falsehood because, in the first
place, really, who cares? Moreover, it's bizarre because eBay founder
Meg Whitman works for the McCain campaign! She's right there! In the
building! And surely she can explain to Palin that she is getting that
weird bit of biography wrong.

Via Radar, the facts are these:

After going unsold for months, the jet was put into 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 quickly sold
to Alaska businessman Larry Reynolds for $2.1 million ($31,000 of
which went to Turbo Aviation). Today the Westwind II jet spends its
days ushering wealthy hunters around Alaska and Russia

.

So why on earth would Palin lie about this, knowing that it would
bring scrutiny to this story, and knowing that the scrutiny would
reveal that a) the auction wasn't successful, b) she lost the State of
Alaska's money on the deal, and c) the state's valuable resource had
basically become a luxury for wealthy elites? I have no idea! But
whatever! It's definitely not the worst lie she's ever told.

You'd better check and see just how many of those 'wealthy elites' are actually
Liberal/Democrat/Marxists before you get really jealous and go out and start
rioting and looting.
