What was the item number for that jet on ebay? I hear she lied and lost money on the deal at that.

I don't know the eBay item number, but I think I read the eBay auction had 1 winning bidder, the deal subsequently fell through, and the jet was sold after that to someone else. So she put it on eBay, but she didn't successfully sell it through eBay.

It really doesn't have anything to do with political ideology. Billow is like ALL mediawhores: if he gets his big ego stroked by any VIP or celebrity, he is happy. Obama is very, very smart to disarm Mr. "FUCK IT!!! WE'LL DO IT LIVE!" And it didn't take all that much. "I dare you to show up on my show!" Obama exposes this blowhard for what he is simply by showing up and being himself.

If she and the GOP think the Left-wing blogs and CNN are their problem, they are very naive.

Just for everyone's info there is some interesting information on the 9/11 donations and how they were spent.
Summary of eRumor: The message says that more than one billion dollars has been collected for the victims of the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., but that only a fraction of it has gotten to the families. It also says that fifteen percent of the donations will be kept by the charities collecting them and that some have not distributed any money at all. bullet The Truth: (2/7/02) The Wall Street Journal says that the Red Cross is offering financial help to well-to-do New York residents as a part of trying to make sure that all of the funds collected for 9/11 victims are used.
MSNBC has compiled a look at how the various funds are doing:
...SEPTEMBER 11th Fund (United Way of NYC and The New York Community Trust: Raised $337 million, has distributed $63 million. ...Twin Towers Fund (Mayor Giuliani’s fund): Raised $113 million, has distributed $47 million. ...Robin Hood Relief Fund (Concert of Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger and others): Raised $48 million, has distributed $13 million. ...Victim Compensation Fund of the U.S. Government: Money will go to the injured ad families of the deceased by early next year. ...SAFE HORIZON: More than $30 has been distributed to families. ...ASPCA Disaster Relief Fund: More than $1.3 million raised. More than 200 animals have been saved and 300 treated. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- bullet (11/12/01) As of this date, according to the publication "The Chronicle of Philanthropy," 1.1 billion dollars has been raised and $204 million has been distributed through 29 charities. The Chronicle says some charities feel that distributing the funds effectively should wait until they know what the scope of the donations is going to be. Others are involved in controversy over accountability and deciding on who should qualify for the funds and, if so, how much.
Interesting to see if the Republican convention raises money for Hurricane in New Orleans and how much the party keeps for itself. I don't trust any one when you have millions.
Look at the money Guilanni raised and how little was spent where is the rest. Did Kerick and Guilliani split it. Bastards.

The Road-to-Nowhere
Palin lied to us in her speech just like she did within the first few sentences after her introduction to the country. There might not be a bridge-to-nowhere but there’s still a road-to-nowhere.
Why was the bridge canceled? Because Alaska couldn’t come up with their share of the cost. NOT because Palin was looking out for taxpayers. She didn't return the money to the taxpayers but kept it for other projects. She could do so because Congress changed the language of the earmark. Both her and McCain make it seem that the money was returned (If we want a bridge, we’ll build it ourselves.”)
However, there was an earmark for a road to be built leading to that bridge. The language of that earmark wasn't changed. The money had to either be used for the road or returned to the federal government. So the road to nowhere is under construction. The Gravina Island Highway, the first phase of the project, is currently underway, and Alaskans haven’t given up hope this bridge will be built.
Check the Anchorage Daily News:
Palin touts stance on 'Bridge to Nowhere,' doesn't note flip-flop
Meanwhile, Weinstein noted, the state is continuing to build a road on Gravina Island to an empty beach where the bridge would have gone -- because federal money for the access road, unlike the bridge money, would have otherwise been returned to the federal government.
