Sarah Palin fan mistakenly buys effigy with noose on EBay

By GottaLaff

Even Grandma Ditz's fans are brainless, but that's probably due to their diligence in trying to emulate her.

First, they bid on used, malodorous, overpriced high heels, and now we have this ill-thought-out transaction:

The controversial Sarah Palin mannequin with a noose around its neck sold for $2,247.22 Thursday on EBay, but it's not leaving its West Hollywood home.

The auction winner, who lives in Los Angeles County, thought he was bidding on a pro-Palin and pro-John McCain item and didn't realize its true nature until he heard about the auction on talk radio, said the mannequin's seller, ChadMichael Morrisette.

I'd suggest to the buyer to hang his head in shame, but that would be a politically incorrect choice of words.
