Maybe Palin could teach Mitch Daniels a thing or two...

Since the GOP nutballs are smiling today about the Sarah Palin's speech last night, perhaps they could urge "Their Man Mitch" to follow her lead.

You see, as Governor of Alaska, she sold the Guv's Jet plane...on Ebay.  (Well, almost, there were no bidders but she sold it later in a private sale).

Mitch, on the other hand, has been using state-owned planes and helicopters to aid in his campaign.

From the JG story by Niki Kelly:

Daniels is using three state airplanes and helicopters at taxpayer expense to perform duties of the office, such as announcing new jobs, pushing his legislative agenda and viewing tornado and flood damage.

Mixed in, though, are events that seem more about getting re-elected, such as speeches at political dinners and appearances at local parades and festivals.

Or you can read today's JG editorial:

While some of the trips were to survey storm damage or announce new jobs, he made numerous trips to parades, festivals, ground-breakings and GOP Lincoln Day dinners. The state police plane even picked the governor up at his West Virginia vacation home to deliver him to a regatta, where he presented a trophy.

Except Palin didn't sell the plane on e-Bay. Tried at 2 times and failed. Finally sold it to a private broker under questionable circumstances.
