Here's The Real Story On Palin's Jet Sale

[masterod1]

I know they keep saying she is nobody.. then why keep talking about her.. she must be someone then.. the dems talk more about her.. then anyone else.. I think they are in love with her.. LOL

[ChaoticDemonOverlord]

FAIL!

[JayM0001]

Nice video but you orgot a few things. The broker who sold the Westwind also would have been paid somewhere between 3 & 5 percent of the sale price as a commission. That's between $63,000 and $105,000. There is also the interest expense because the jet was financed.

Purchase prive 2.7 million.

Sale price 2.1 million

Broker Fee $63,000+

Lawsuit $50,000

Inerest Expense?

Oh and, guess what, she still flies around in the state King Air 200.

[lamrof]

I sold a plane on ebay, can I be a VP now. :-)

Like tyson said..

I've been hurting lately can I get laid.

[gardnerbm]

If she cant sell something on ebay and Mccain cant use a computer...

[armageton4000]

just because she has more timein the political bisness does not means she learnded something.

come on ppl she does no know anything about america she cannot even ask a single question!!!

she might care about america but she cant deal with the problems that america has. Why this video might give you a big a idea. imagen she cant deal with a jet imagen the economic prblems...

[2334horses]

Palin with that money from the jet you should have gave atleast sum of it to a wildlife foundation after all those animals you shot!Humans are just animals with brain cells so are you gonna shoot us to?? Would you wanna shoot my dogs and horses?!? I cant wait when you lose!See ya Palin!

[thelastemperor909]

shes a fucking liar . and thats why rep is gona loose

[Extacide]

No, cheeseman makes a point. Cenk is quite biased and is obviously pro Obama.

At the same time however, most of his points against McCain and Palin are true.

At the same time, cheeseman's comment of Obama is ignorant and I would suggest researching the truth between Obama and Ayers, rather than blindly following an ignorant attack ad by McCain.

[egervari]

You forgot about the 50k lawsuit because the jet had some problems with it.

Also, McCain actually said "Sold it on ebay" during one of his stump speeches.

AND, McCain also said she "made a profit"! He screamed it.

Please report this!!

[nocab1984]

That's it I'm through I can't read youtube comments anymore I just can't There isn't anything I could possibly care about less I'm just through now for the love of god someone fuck me in the ass with a crooked splintered wooden cooking fork you sadistic bastards it would honestly be less painful and don't any one of you give me a fucking thumbs up

[107649365]

I'm sorry man I had to give you a thumbs-up. I read these pathetic attempts of communication by these simple minded TARTS and then here's yours. The best thing I've read laughed for 10 min.

[cheeseman1369]

I think this guy is one sided and doubt he would be similarly critical of anything the Obama ticket has done like saying I hardly know the domestic terrorist Ayers. He is just a neighbor that I was the Chairman of a multimillion dollar foundation that Ayers cofounded. This is the missing executive experience of Barry aka Barack terrorist sympathesizer.

[bfurr422]

Who cares if it was her idea to sell it on Ebay or not. Who cares if she lost $600,000 on that sell. It would have cost more to keep it and maintain it. And besides, it's not about her making money, it's about she cared more about Alaska not spending more money on nonsence.

[ABananaRama]

Thank you. It's about time somebody else spoke some sense around here.

[NoMayo]

How are you gonna say SHE cared about Alaska enough to sell the jet, when you admit it may not have even been her idea to sell it!?

[ABananaRama]

What are you talking about?

I said she never thought up the idea! I never said it wasn't her idea to sell it, I said she wasn't the first to think up the idea! Get the facts straight. And she obviously cares about Alaska, because if she didn't she would have kept the jet.

Quote properly please.

*But if your name suggests you hate mayo then I agree with you on that :D

[darrenpatrick2000]

I fuckin hate all you palin supporters. I cant believe you people cant see through her bullshit. ALL THE FOLKS PRAISING HER RIGHT NOW WILL BE THE MAIN MUTHERFUCKERS COMPLAINING WHEN HER AND MCAINS OLD ASS FUCK OUR ECONOMY UP EVEN MORE.

[bfurr422]

Better than being forced to praise Ala against your will and being tortured or killed my tarrist, which is what Obama Hussein Bin Ladin wants, dumb ass.

[paranoidcharm]

Cenk you are doing a GREAT job. Keep up the good work, my friend.

Kudos from sunny (not) London, England.

[KOVideoz]

aq senisikiyim aq

[drawandstrike]

Fact 1: She said she put it on eBay. Not that she sold it on eBay

Fact 2: It was not about 'making a profit' - it was about getting rid of it because she didn't need it.

Fact 3: Nobody sells a used jet for more money than it was originally purchased for. Ever sell a used car for more than you paid for it new?

Fact 4: The jet, purchased by her predecessor, was a kind that is hard to resale - there's no demand for it.

If anyone can point out a mistake in these facts, please do

[goku2525]

Truth 1: She never corrected McCain or the media that the plane was sold at a loss.This can be seen as deceitful.

Truth 2: This was one of her crowning achievements of her"fiscal responsibility"when she was first introduced to the american people. If she is going to run on this as a record of how she is going to turn the economy then she is off to a bad start.

[ABananaRama]

May I point out that your facts are not only facts, but they are well written, objective, and the complete truth? It's good to see something like that every once in a blue moon. Thanks

[nicothespartan182]

hahaha what a tool.

[FENDERBSS]

amerikkka is an image monkey nation.its all about image.i commend white america for helping to get obama as far as he has gotten.but amerikkka will always be amerikkka. the majority of this traitor nation in 2008 still cant see themselves electing a black man for predident.its sad but its plain and simple.but if obama is actually elected he will be blamed for all the crap that was left for him to fix.then amerikkka will simply say....we told you blacks so.

[mortysand]

She doesn't live in the Gov.'s mansion/office, but lives at home. How quaint, right? She charges the state (taxpayers) travel expenses from her house to her office and back, where she could live without charging a per diem.

[ABananaRama]

I have a friend whose entire education was paid for because of taxpayers dollars, and all 5 of his siblings'. I'd rather them pay for a governor to get to work than for some government worker's family to go to private school overseas.

[juliact]

1. How MORONIC to put a JET on ebay!! Ebay charges a fortune in commissions, and as Cenk says who would buy a JET on ebay, with no quality checks.

2. Who CARES anyway? You think this is a demonstration of good fiscal management???? THAT's the best example she can muster??? An idea that a 5th grader could come up with??

PALIN's nomination is a profound, PROFOUND INSULT to America!!!

[Skelch2]

This report, if you can call it that is slanted to make it sound like Palin bought the plane. She didn't buy the plane, and if she had kept it it would have continued to cost Alaska money. So the fact that she sould it is a good thing. The fact that it tooks some time to sell it means NOTHING. If you want to hate her by all means do, but don't be stupid enough to think she COST the taxpayers more by selling the plane than she would by keeping it. That is just stupid.

[ABananaRama]

You're completely right, and it just goes to show how biased people are Skelch2.

It doesn't matter that she did the right thing and got RID of something that was completely unnecessary, the point that everyone wants to focus on is how it cost money to do the right thing, so we should all criticize her for it. It would have cost money EITHER WAY, but let's all get mad at her for doing the right thing anyways. And WHO CARES about a jet? WHO CARES if they've been selling them for years? WHO CARES?

[sushi0085]

You are missing the point.The same thing would happen if it was anybody else as mayor of Alaska, because that is what they have been doing before she was in office.And the problem is that she wasn't smart enough to know that its a stupid idea to sell a plane on Ebay. Seriously, who would buy a plane on ebay -_-.

[KidVolcano]

there's no such thing as mayor of a state...

[ABananaRama]

You're the one missing the point actually. Would you have rather she kept the plane and wasted taxpayer dollars on its upkeep? The plane wasn't hers to begin with - it was bought by the previous governor - which means its old and the resale value would've been poor anyways. And who cares who thought of getting rid of it first? She never said she was FIRST to get rid of it. She said she GOT rid of it. She did the right thing, but liberals are making her damned if she did, damned if she didn't.

[zorath1970]

Cenk is right, if she had been a manager at Walmart and pulled a stunt like this, she would have been gone. People forget the carrying costs of something like an airplane: heated storage, insurance, security, etc.

[drawandstrike]

How many of you ever sold a used car for more than you paid for it?

IS EVERYBODY HERE A COMPLETE FUCKING MORON?

[savethehumans420]

its the 76,000$ wasted, RETARD. you missed the point.

[Encyclopeteia]

She sold the plane to a big Republican donor, at a loss of (if I remember right) $300,000. That's slightly fishy, don't you think? And it was either McCain or Palin that said she sold it for a profit, which is a big lie.

[drawandstrike]

Go back and watch her RNC convention speech. For the first time.

What did she actually say?

"I put it on eBay."

She did put it on eBay.

Did she say "I sold it on eBay."?

No. She said "I put it on eBay."

It did eventually sell. But the first 3 attempts to sell it were on eBay.

She sold the plane. It wasn't her plane. She made no money on the sale. In fact, it sold for less than her predecessor bought it for.

[ABananaRama]

Thanks for the quotes, because it brings it back into context. Honestly though, who the hell cares about a plane anyway? It's funny how this is all democrats have to criticize her on. Can't they think of anything better?

[debrmck]

Because she has not done anything! She is the one touting it like it was the greatest thing in the world. McCain even out and out lied to one group saying that she sold on ebay and made a profit. When she was mayor in Wassila they even had to hire a city manager to help her there. Please give a example of something the lipstick wearing pit bull has done .

[sushi0085]

Missing the point. She's wasn't smart enough to sell it through a professional. Instead, put it on ebay which was the reason it cost more tax payers dollars...like anybody is dumb enough to buy a plane on ebay. Maybe you are, who knows.

[ABananaRama]

You contradict yourself.

It would've been dumbER to keep it and waste MORE money on a plane that wasn't needed. Or are you still just trying to make her wrong either way?

[sushi0085]

DUDE! Are you serious? How can you delude yourself like this. It was clear that the plane would have been sold by anybody in her position because that is what small government does to raise money. It was NOT her brilliant idea. It was however STUPID to put it on Ebay, instead if she was smart enough to go through a professional to begin with they would use less of the tax payers dollars! SHEESH can't you get that?

[ABananaRama]

You're not understanding, so I'll try with smaller words. It's a plane. No one cares. No one cares who would have sold it. The point is she got rid of it. She never said she was special. She NEVER SAID she thought up the idea. They only started selling the planes a short while ago. More money would have been lost keeping it than selling it no matter HOW she sold it. You're trying to argue she would have lost less money if she went thru a professional. Still LOSING money. She did the right thing.

[sinistavoicez]

Obama has also pledged to stop the revolving door if elected. He has also declined to take donations from lobbyists; McCain has not.

[ABananaRama]

So? Obama's still going to do everything the lobbyists tell him to do, the only difference is that unlike McCain, he won't be getting paid to do it.

[sinistavoicez]

Socialized healthcare, tax cuts for my pay bracket, reinvesting into America's workforce, and that is just a few of the things that guide my vote. Anything after that politics as usual.

P.S. Education reform, National service rewards, and so on.

[ABananaRama]

You probably have never been to any place that has socialized healthcare if you had, it wouldnt be on your list, let alone at the top.

In Canada, you need to wait 8 months to see a specialist, and thats with a population of 30 million. Imagine how LONG it would take for a population of 300 million! Same with tax cuts.

P.S. Theres nothing wrong with education parents dont want to parent and teachers arent allowed to dicispline. You can thank the ACLU for that. But the rest is politics

[notscooter952]

'fraid not, ABananaRama. I can see a specialist in a week if I need to.

[sinistavoicez]

First off yes I have been to Toronto and that is a farce you've stated. Depending on your condition you may wait if you need a specialist but of course your appointment will be set up in advance communicating with your physician. And the fact of the matter is at least you'll receive treatment. As far as your next point I am a father and an educator. In short public schools are appauling.

[ABananaRama]

Have you LIVED there for 5 years? Til then, you can't. Toronto's the worst. The fact of the matter's that by the time you receive treatment your condition is worse than originally. And what about the people that can already afford fast, reliable healthcare? You want us all to give that up? Won't happen. That's why socialized health care won't work. And as someone with kids who have been through the public system, it is absolutely fine. Kids need to be controlled and no one wants to control them.

[sinistavoicez]

wow! Kids need to be controlled kids don't need to be controlled they need to be nurtured, but I wouldn't expect a Neo-Con to know there is a difference. The masses of people in the USA don't have healthcare! So to hell with the 1% who do. Do you know the volunteers here in NYC who volunteered for cleanup in 9/11 are being denied treatment for ailments they contracted during their valiant service! Get your mind out of Canada and focus on home!

[ABananaRama]

lol. Who said they didn't need to be nurtured that's a given, or could you not see that? They're nurtured too much, thus they need to be controlled. lmao "the masses of people in the USA who don't have healthcare" "to hell with the 1% who do." Gotta get your facts straight buddy. So because I can prove you wrong about your Canada comment I've got my mind focused there? Very petty. Only a socialist would change the subject when proven wrong.

[sushi0085]

You're argument against him is wrong. As my parents are from Canada, they get very good health care and like sinistavoiez has said, waiting is dependent on severity. Now for many Americans who don't have health care waiting is not even an option you douchebag. You selfish Neo-cons who think survival of the wealthiest is how a country should be run and not caring for your neighbors should go to hell.

[ABananaRama]

You're so narrow minded, and that's sad. and please stay on topic, or don't bother responding.

The argument isn't about if people want to care for their neighbors. The argument is about whether or not people want to pay for their neighbors healthcare. If you want to pay for the crack addict's rehab, the 2 packs a day smoker's lung cancer chemo therapy, and abortions for teens, whatever. I don't and never will, so go complain to people who can afford the tax increase to do that.

[sinistavoicez]

thx Sushi0085, but this guy "goes with his gut" and his gut tells him everything is just fine keep it going. he's entitled to that position he shouldn't be allowed to reproduce though!

[subtereneanblues]

i love how Cenk explains that people do not buy airplanes with Ebay ^^

[jsg103]

I'm not seeing an issue here. I would say selling a jet in 8 months isn't unreasonable, its not like ur selling a used car or something.

[im1shak1biotches]

The problem is she said "and I made a profit too!" Yea, she probably did... in her fantasy land!

[13otany13ay]

McCain distracted americans from himself by talking about Obama. The media followed. Now McCain distracts americans from himself by talking about Palin. The media follows again.

At the end americans will know Palins personality and what lipstick she uses, wether Obama is a muslim or not and can spot his madras on a map... but they wont know who is their new President, what his policy is and how he got into office.

Thats how McCain will win.

Palin is a nobody. Ignore her! Go after McSame!

[dutchhaze1]

Cenk is like Olbermann and Stewert combined in one.

No other youtube channel is needed

[GretchenDawntreader]

the jet thing is not really an issue. Unlike the "earmarks/Bridge to Nowhere" thing, she isn't lying about the jet.

What did she actually say? She put it on eBay. Which, she did. This is a non-issue, this is my opinion, and I'm a democrat.

The earmarks thing, yeah, she's an unrepentant liar about that.

[jtbarlotube]

What a biased, dishonest "report". Try as you may, lib-dems, but your man Obama's going to lose. Why? Because he has no experience. Rip Palin all you want but she, as VP, already has much more exec experience than Barrack, who has none. Amazing too that you're investigating Palin so much but haven't looked into Barack's shady ties with Ayers, Wright and the rest. Amazing what you'll overlook just because you want a Dem in Office. Wake up, McCain is NOT BUSH!. And Obama's way too inexperienced.

[iamtheboha]

A. It's not dishonest. Don't accuse someone of lying without proof.

B. Executive experience? George W. Bush was the governor of Texas, all the proof needed that intelligence and competence, trumps executive experience.

C. They don't need to cover Obama's "shady ties" because the MSM has been doing that for months.

D. McCain voted with Bush more than 90% of the time.

E. McCain is old, and if he dies, he'll leave us in the capable hands of someone with less relative experience than Obama.

[TeamDangerForce]

Also, according to CNN, the guy who bought it said they (Palin & co.) misrepresented the condition of the plane and is demanding an additional $50,000 for repairs. So add that to the total.

[picardout]

Cenk, you should also talk about how McCain said that She SOLD it on ebay and made a PROFIT from it. He said it during one of his speeches.

[Gilgamesh387]

i am terrified... its not just America Palin could damage, its the whole world that's at stake!!!

[michaelrobert1974]

Tell it to the disaffected Hillary Clinton supporters who are keeping this loser floating.

[evilblades]

a senile warhero who crashed 6 planes, and a hockey mom from alaska with a passion for shooting things.

i love the news from america,, what can i say?, you dont get this stuff anywhere else..

[Gilgamesh387]

its like a stupid childrens movie i would normally sleep through....

[THENAk3DTRUTH]

Who puts a jet on ebay, what is she stupid ? Oh wait she's a republican, nevermind.

[LetMeScreamLoud]

Palin charged state for her whole family travel expenses, including $700/night hotel stay and meals. When I read a description of her office it appears that all of her 5 kids are AT WORK while she is on the clock...They say it as a good thing "She switches between mom and Governor without a blink" HUH? How many moms here have a job that allows kids at work? Who is getting paid to change their baby's diapers?

[donotswallow]

HEY GUYS I READ DAILY KOS AND HUFFINTON POST!!! I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!!!

You want to talk about managing? How about Obama spending double (320 million last I checked) McCain, still being virtually tied in the polls? Anyone want to explain that one without pulling the race card?

[moryano]

Actually 'donotswallow' Palin topped Obama in Earmarks and spent $435 million last time I checked.

So build a bridge and get over it (just so long as it isn't to nowhere, because you'll be for it before you're against it)

[UGOTDAJACK]

It's not his fault that most americans are fucking idiots. He can't forse you loosers to vote for him. These are the same people that voted for Bush twice, complain daily on how life is so hard and the government doesn't do shit for the average american, claim things in Washington are too corrupt and want to elect a man who was apart of the Keating 5 while he claims he has always put the american people first. At the end of the day, it's up to him to plead his case and it's up to you to vote.

[wiferachel]

Adolf Hitler was also a community organizer and people liked him at first to. oboma or Hillary should run a state like they want to run the country so we can see what they are like. My opinion is oboma hillary state equals welfare state. If you didnt notice im tired of the hate monger ultra rich liberal blow hards.

[TokyoNiGHTS1]

So do you just not know how to spell Obama's name, or are you doing another one of those ignorant right-wing attacks where you mash his name with some other person who's nothing like him?

And you're tired of hang mongering? Then why are you against Obama, someone that wants to bring people together? You're tired of the ultra rich? Then why are you attacking Obama? He's anything but ultra rich. He's certainly not poor, but he's not McCain, someone who can't even tell you how many homes he owns.

[BYRON2SEXY]

my god you are an idiot shame on your lack of intelligence.

[ONEamWALKAH]

Firstly at least spell his name right. You spell Adolf Hitler correct, but get the nominee for president of your country (USA) wrong. Secondly, we already live in a welfare state wouldn't you say?.. If not explain what you meant by welfare state please, i would like to point out we already have a welfare system in place. Every first world nation on earth has welfare, also they all have socialized medicine except for us. Is that part of a welfare state in your opinion?... Thanks

[bigfatnigger1977]

wow fatso u know everything...tell me then b4 u stick that whole taco in ur mouth do u ever stop 2 think that no woman in her right mind would b with u cause ur fat whit trash like ur mom.???

[canucksfan94]

1. He's engaged

2. He's Turkish, not white

3. You're a piece of shit

[UlyssesBreckenridge]

Turks are a mix between Romans and Persians.

[canucksfan94]

Is that right? I didn't know that. I can definetly see it now that you mention it.

[p12psicop]

"My bad" LOL

[kruat43]

This guy is a complete ASS! I hate being talked down to. He acts like we have no idea what is going on except him! So Governor Palin followed state procedure and put the jet on Ebay what else was she supposed to do butt wipe?

[canucksfan94]

Change the state procedure because she's the fucking governor.

[GrownupPhan]

i think the issue is whether it's the greatest thing to BRAG about or not. It's not the end of the world and Cenk's a little too worked up, but it's become the main part of her schtick in selling herself. I would have picked something else. First time I heard it before the whole story came out, I thought who the hell would buy through Ebay? That sounds flaky not clever.

[Oli3TB76]

You know, the many McCalin supporters really arent doing the image of Americans any good

[Mailman29680]

So you don't give her credit because Alaska has been doing this for years but BLAME her because she did this.

Which is it Cenk???

Your attitude sure has changed in the last week or so.LOL

Lower taxes and no hand-outs to lazy Americans- vote McCain.

[Xenithan]

Most people will say the jet thing isn't really a valid point, but Cenk had a valid point there =/

[BrannanTerror]

Palin also forgot to mention the fact that her husband is a multimillionaire who runs an oil company. So she probably already has a jet and her own personal chef.

[TheFunkyDomination]

and enough money to take care of her daughter's expected kid

[cleftronix]

Im a conservative (not a republican, but an indipendant conservative (pro choice), as you all know. I cannot stand the liberal agenda as you all know. Having said that, I really dislike McCain. So I might offer some advice that can save Obama...stay tuned...

Cleftronix is your only real hope...let me think about this.

[darealdjnutz]

Palin is a fraud. Soon enough everyone will know that.

[sx200ser]

cleftronix, thats what us free folks are here for to tell folks Sarah Palin is just a baby maker, 5 kids. how old were you with that last 1, what his name Trig, isn't there something wrong with him, doc's good word don't have kids past your 40's ladies, increase the chance of many many issues with your kids most noted is down syndrome. plus the pig with the lipstick is McCain's quote

[hhubble]

That dumb bitch took her 6 years to graduate from 6 different colleges. Why is anyone surprised she couldn't sell it.

[abfmariachi]

Wow. That whore could be our prez? Hell nah!

[MyFriendSam]

i like how cenk says "Thats the part they didn't tell ya"

[cleftronix]

Keep attacking Sarah (America) Palin, and watch Barak Hussien Obamas numbers fall. Attacking her is exactly what the GOP wants. KEEP IT UP!

Obama campaign is stumped. They have no idea how to deal with Sarah Palin. The problem is that Obama plus the press already attacked Hillary earlier in the year, so an attack on Sarah is percieved as attacking a women twice in one season! No way Obama can get away with that.

Since that card was already played by Obama agaisnt Hillary, it is checkmate.

[darealdjnutz]

You should have been aborted.

[spence111]

Says the republican...

[agenstuall85]

wahahaha are you serious man i dont even care about the rest you said but sarah (america) palin hahaha dude thank you i needed that

[Voodooray007]

here's one thing your missing here. Palin is not Clinton

[NYPlayerT2]

What do you mean by that?

[TokyoNiGHTS1]

They're hardly stumped. Palin has been lying about so much ever since she came onto the campaign trail that it's now starting to pile up and the media is getting aggravated by it and the fact that she's scared to go in front of them.

When she finally gets her feet held to the fire on all the issues she's lied about, the American people are going to see exactly who she is. Another Republican that walks side by side with George Bush.

[brian8907]

6TH!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

*rolls eyes*

[Seldona]

Just another in a long line of lies and ommisions by quite possibly the worst VP pick of ALL TIME.

Even if she is a reformer, which she is most definately not, she is still an insurmountable imbecile.

I mean who claims almost a million dollar loss as some sort of victory? Someone with nothing else to talk about, that's who.

[babyfran05]

not only that, i say a clip of mccain praising the sale and saying that she made a profit off it. the lies are pathological.

[babyfran05]

"saw" a clip :/

[sylvanus93]

the woman is a moron
