Palin: "I put it on ebay!"...Too bad no one bought it.

This is the kind of stuff that just makes me laugh at politicians. Why do they continue to think that no one will actually check to see what really happened. Just one more "lie of omission" to add to the notch in the proverbial Republican bedpost.
"That luxury jet that came with the office... I put it on eBay!"Before the Alaska Republican took office, it was something of a standard operating procedure for the state to try to sell such big-ticket items using the online auction site. Officials had been doing it since at least 2003, three years before Palin became governor.Twenty days after putting the jet online, the Palin administration had to reissue the listing. The minimum bid had not been met. By April, the jet still had not sold despite three additional attempts. Eventually, Palin signed a contract with an Anchorage aircraft broker to help succeed where eBay couldn't. In August 2007, eight months after it was first put on sale, the jet was sold to an Alaskan businessman for $2.1 million -- $600,000 shy of the purchasing price.

I'd be interested in hearing. The TOS seems rather clear that it is not unless expressly approved by Amazon. I guess if the library got it in writing then they would be ok. vehxte vehxte - <a href="http://www.2012monclerjacket.com">moncler jacket outlet </a>.
