Hinged Elephant – nice drive by commenting. Post a lie and never return. Typical.

Her exact words during her RNC speech were:

“I got rid of a few things in the Governor’s office that I didn’t think our citizens should have to pay for. That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay.”

Skip ahead to 19:50 in the video mentioned above.

Hinged Elephant, I did not hear the word “profit” mentioned. The point is that the sale produced cash for other “less extravagant” uses. If you would like to listen to the speech again, you can find it on YouTube at this link:

No. She never said it sold on eBay. But she did say it sold at a profit. Lie. It sold at a loss of $300,000.

Thanks Suzanne – you too Rebekah. Nice to see some people with some actual intelligence posting comments on the Internet. That seems rarer and rarer these days. :)

It was not a misleading statement. She stated she listed in on eBay. Just because it didn’t sell doesn’t mean she didn’t list it. I thought it was totally cool that she actually listed it. The point of her statement was that she felt it was unnecessary spending and didn’t use it. Not many politicians (or anyone) would give up that kind of luxury.

I agree, Blondie. She never said she sold it. Many governement agencies use eBay to sell surplus or other items, so the listing of the item isn’t anything out of the ordinary. I just found it interesting that she mentioned eBay during her speech.

She never said it sold on ebay. She said she put it on ebay and she did.

Some idiots will jump at anything and try to make it seem unflattering.
