This is so weird, I just have to ask the question: Is Ebay so desperate
that it is trying to promote itself through the GOP Presidential race?
No doubt everyone knows by now that former CEO Meg Whitman was
previously an advisor to Mitt Romney's failed presidential campaign and
is now one of John McCain's chief advisors being one of the several
people he indicated he most admired and sought professional advice from.
Well, Sarah Palin has mentioned several times now in her stump speech in
which she lists all her accomplishments as Governor of Alaska that he
successfully auctioned off on Ebay the luxury Alaskan state jet bought
by the previous government for use by her office. Turns out that's not
true. After going unsold for months, the jet was put in the hands of
Turbo North Aviation, an Anchorage aircraft broker, which put an asking
price of $2.45 million on the nearly $2.7 million jet. It was ultimately
sold privately to an Alaskan business man for $2.1 million, $31,000 of
which went to Turbo Aviation as a sales commission. Why is Sarah Palin
lying about an Ebay connection? It doesn't diminish whatever
accomplishment she achieved in selling an Alaskan state jet but it
strangely propels Ebay into the headlines and promotes it as an
effective selling tool in the public's eyes. I find this very puzzling.
Does anybody else? FRANC
