Fox News to air "the inside story" on Palin tonight.
Please save yourselves the anger and DU bandwidth don't watch it.

I saw 30 seconds of it this AM ..... "look she can brush her daughter's
hair, drink coffee, and then go to work" ..... gushed Alisyn Camerota



Look the right wing is in full damage control on Palin and they trying to
make us think that she really is Chicken Salad and not Chicken Shit.

1. DA PLANE! DA PLANE!
THIS isn't true either? Wow

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-palin_planesep05,0,3470364.story

Palin's statement implied the plane was sold through the online auction site revered for empowering millions of small entrepreneurs, and Palin's spokeswoman insisted Thursday that the transaction occurred. But the plane failed to sell on eBay.

Instead, the 23-year-old 10-seat Westwind II was sold in August 2007 for $2.1 million to a Valdez, Alaska, entrepreneur; that's about $300,000 less than a broker's asking price, according to news accounts.

Also, while Palin characterized the plane as an extravagance of former Gov. Frank Murkowski, who arranged for its purchase in November 2005, the plane saw heavy use transporting Alaskan convicts.

Alaska does not have adequate prison capacity and contracts for space with a private facility near Phoenix. On Thursday, 24 percent of the 4,546 Alaskans in jail or in prison were serving their time at Arizona's Red Rock Correctional Center, said a spokesman for the Alaska Department of Corrections.

When the state first began using the plane in November 2005, prisoner transport accounted for 58 percent of the jet's use, and Murkowski's office used it 23 percent of the time. Over time, Murkowski's usage increased.

Today, the U.S. Marshals Service transports 90 percent of Alaska prisoners to Arizona. that is Fed. Govt. expense, no?

PALIN'S PLANE? IT WASN'T SOLD ON EBAY

One of the most compelling anecdotes in Sarah Palin's repertoire is that she auctioned off the Alaska governor's jet on eBay after taking office -- a swift move aimed at cleaning up the excesses of her predecessor. But in fact, the jet did not sell on eBay. It was sold to an Alaska businessman named Larry Reynolds, who paid $2.1 million for the plane, shy of the original $2.7 million purchase price, according to news reports at the time. Reynolds contributed to Palin's campaign in 2006. Palin did try to sell the plane on eBay, but there was only one serious bid, in December 2006, and it fell through.

7. She is the gift that keeps giving
Judge her and you can judge McCain's fitness to be POTUS

I kinda think people told McCain that he had to pick her.
