Some People Are Never Happy

A devoted follower of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin paid $63, 500 on an online charity to share dinner with her. A quite a steep price for a meal but the proceeds go to a charity that benefits wounded veterans.

From the article:

Cathy Maples of Huntsville, Alabama, on Friday won the dinner in an Internet
auction, which was a benefit for a charity that aids wounded veterans.

Palin offered the dinner as part of the charity auction on eBay for the Ride
2 Recovery program, which supports wounded veterans through cycling
programs.

Yet, despite this, some are not pleased.

From a Yahoo comments board:

Like they say "A fool and his money...."

Had Mrs. Palin been like Al Gore, his boss, Bill Clinton or rabid capitalist, Michael Moore, and collected a HUGE sum of cash for a speaking tour, then maybe that would have been more acceptable. I guess charities have run their course.

Firstly, there is far too much USA news on this site. Its supposed to be a
Canadian news site. Secondly, Canadians are sick & tired of hearing about
this stupid btch. -Ensign

Gee, some people like wearing trailer trash on their sleeves. I know I can't speak for Ensign- nor would I want to- but Sarah Palin would be a welcome change from the lame-duck fellow who sold out the Poles not too long ago.

Wow, corruption and backroom deals.

No, charity. Read the article. It even says so.


I suppose some people can never catch a break.
