    What does this say about her judgment? She stayed with Todd all this time even though he was a separatist. The person she is closest to in the whole world is an Alaskan Separatist.

    I guess she was just blinded by the glow of him being a champion snow machine racer.

    I'm honestly lost, what does Wiki have to do with this?

    A few of the sources in the video are Wikipedia.

    Ohh ok. The only part of the video I really cared about was when they went to the , I guess, hidden camera in the seperatist meeting. Starting at 1:09 in the vid it gets, I think, pretty bad for her.

    We know for a fact that Palin recorded a welcome message for the AIP in which she urges them to "keep up the good work"

    A lot of Wikipedia's material is now backed up with its own sources and source material is required for all entries.

    Alaska state jet didn't fly on eBay

    From CNN Correspondent Christine Romans


    Since being named as Sen. McCain's running mate, Gov. Palin has mentioned several times that she put a government plane up for sale on EBay — including during her speech before the GOP convention.
    ANCHORAGE, Alaska (CNN) — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin bolstered her fiscal-conservative credentials early in her term by putting her predecessor's state jet up for auction online.

    "That luxury jet was over the top," she told Republican National Convention delegates when she accepted the party's vice presidential nomination Wednesday night. "I put it on eBay."

    Since Palin was chosen as Arizona Sen. John McCain's running mate last week, the story has become a cornerstone of the Republican effort to paint Palin as a reformer who took on her own party establishment.

    "How many saw her speech a couple of nights ago? Wasn't it fabulous?" McCain said Friday during a campaign stop in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. "You know what I enjoyed the most? She took the luxury jet that was purchased by her predecessor and sold it on eBay — and made a profit."

    But it turns out the twin-engine Westwind II was a tough sell on the Web — and the state eventually pulled it offline and sold it through an ordinary brick-and-mortar brokerage, for a loss, a spokeswoman said Friday.

    "Governor Palin has been correct in saying that she put the plane on eBay," McCain campaign spokeswoman Maria Comella told CNN. "They did end up selling it for $2.1 million. but not on eBay."

    Palin's predecessor, Frank Murkowski, bought the jet for $2.7 million in 2005. The following year, Palin unseated Murkowski in the state's Republican primary and became governor: Upon taking office, she wanted to unload what former aide Meg Stapleton called "a symbol of corruption."

    Stapleton told CNN that Murkowski paid too much for the jet, and that it was costing taxpayers money just sitting in the hangar.

    "Eventually you had to concede and say, 'How often are we going to pay these bills and waste more state dollars?' " she said.

    When putting it on eBay failed, aircraft broker Rob Heckmann was called in to sell the jet. Businessman Larry Reynolds bought the five-passenger jet for sold for $2.1 million. And Reynolds is now seeking another $50,000 from the state for unexpected maintenance issues with the aircraft.

    No, it makes you think twice. Please don't make the mistake of projecting your ignorant and racist world view onto others.

    Yes, I am calling you a racist. Unlike yourself, I don't cower behind the shield of ambiguity.

    I am also calling you a coward, if that was not clear.

    WOW. Necro-posting to deflect attention from Boehner being on a leash made of Kochs.

    Always nice to see a T_J thread bumped. It's a shame his important industrial work got so busy after November 2012. The muck he raked was always grade-A.
