That private jet gimmick: She "put it on eBay." She didn't sell it on eBay.

Sarah Palin is crafty in her use of words:

While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor's office that I didn't believe our citizens should have to pay for.

That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay.

Just because she put it on eBay, doesn't mean she sold it on eBay. In fact, she didn't sell it on eBay. That gimmick failed.

For someone who claims to eschew the ways of Washington, Sarah Palin has already mastered the double-speak and obfuscation of the Bush/Cheney administration. She's a natural for the third Bush term.

(Hat tip reader DM, Thanks.)
