It got us thinking, what happens if John McCain and Sarah Palin win the election and she has all the valuables in the White House at her eBay-loving fingertips? Might she try to reduce the nation's eye popping debt by unloading some of the goods? We brought aboard Official eBay Guru Gregory Kusch to advise us on how much money Palin could make for the American people by taking her eBay know-how to the White House:
The Oval Office's desk: "I would start the presidential desk at $99,000 and I'm sure it would fetch over 1 million."
A square foot of White House lawn: "It would be the least expensive item, I would start that at $99."
White House flatware: "I would start the bidding at $9,999 with lots of publicity and it could go for as much as $500,000."
John McCain's half-eaten grilled cheese sandwich: "I would start the grilled cheese at $99. I'm sure I could get around $10,000 for it."
