Palin doesn't LIE about the bridge and the plane today...yet.
Rejoining McCain, Palin drops references to bridge and plane

Rejoining John McCain for a joint rally near Youngstown, Ohio, Sarah Palin offered an abbreviated version of her stump speech that included no mention of her putting the state plane in Alaska on eBay or her opposition to the "Bridge to Nowhere."

Both have been staples of Palin's remarks at rallies since she became McCain's running mate, but they've also been singled out for not telling the whole story. Palin did try to sell the plane online, but wound up using a broker and dumping it for a loss. And Palin did eventually oppose the controversial bridge project, but only after Congress made clear that it wouldn't be funded.

The lines may have only been temporarily dropped to cut her remarks, as the crowd had been jammed into a cramped airplane hangar and waiting for long time. In fact, a few dozen voters left after Palin finished speaking, complaining of the heat and mass of people in the building.

Still, Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor couldn't resist: "That line about the bridge? She sold it on eBay."

2. If she cuts out all the lies in her speech
she is left with "Hi, I'm Sarah Palin. Vote for us."
