Sarah Palin's New Airplane

Sarah Palin is getting herself a private jet for the campaign, which seems reasonable given that she's the VP candidate for the Republican Party. It does remind you of her make-believe eBay story, but since this is privately-funded, I'll give her a pass on the hypocrisy angle (she's still a liar, though).

Speaking of funding, there is one thing to pay close attention to: how will the McCain-Palin campaign pay for the jet? They may try to use primary money -- Kerry-Edwards tried to do the same thing in 2004. But according to an FEC audit, that's not legal. Keep an eye on this one.
