One of the disturbing trends we're learning about Sarah Palin is how many of her favorite lines on the campaign are actually not true.
The "Bridge to Nowhere" is a blatant lie (she supported it before she opposed it). Her earmark reform platform is manufactured for sounding good on stages and at podiums (Alaska received more "pork" per person than any state in the country).
"That luxury jet that came with the office...I put on on eBay!" This is one of Sarah Palin's favorite lines on the campaign trail, repeated with such frequency that it has already become a catchphrase of the general election. As Governor of As Governor of Alaska, she rid the state of an unnecessary jet using a creative and cost-effective online measure.
What is left unmentioned is that Palin didn't come up with the idea to sell the plane using eBay in the first place. Before Palin took office, it was 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.
As far as troopergate, lying about that too.
