Fiscal Responsibility

John McCain says that what he likes most about Sarah Palin is that she put a private jet that the previous governor had purchased on auction at eBay and that she sold it "for a profit."

But the truth is, yes, she p[ut it up for sale on eBay but like many an eBay merchant has learned, putting a product on the site doesn't mean somebody will buy it, especially at the price you're asking.

Palin sold a jet that copst $2.7 million to an Alaskan business man for $2.1 million.

So is it really so admirable to lose $600,000 on your own petulant hissy fit at the governor before you?

Finally, is the media going to just allow McCain to claim, unchallenged, that Palin "sold the plain on eBay for a profit?" Does the truth matter or is it another case of "It's Okay if You're a Republican?"

The Toothless Barracuda?

So Sarah Palin is supposedly tough. But she won't subject herself to direct questions from the press. No, she's only available to interviewers like Oprah -- people who won't or can't challenge her.

Until Palin sits down for real interviews with real journalists, people should stop marveling at how "tough" she is. Anyone can stand on a stage making false claims about John McCain being a maverick. Let's see if this nobody who thinks she can be president can actually hold her own in a real, public discussion about foreign policy. Or domestic policy. Tough people aren't afraid of a little conversation.

Why the Sarah Palin Scandal isn't like the typical Republican Sex Scandal...

...unlike the typical Republican sex scandal, it involves consenting adults.

Oh wait... no it doesn't.

We love you, Emily!
