Oh lord, I have to break it to Kate that her “high batsh*ttery-level” people down in her home state are acting up again. Here’s Huntsville, AL resident Cathy Maples:

Maples, 53, of Huntsville, outbid the other contenders in an eBay auction that ended Friday to share a meal with Palin. The dinner brought in the highest bid of the 10 items offered in the auction that raised $95,000 for the Ride 2 Recovery program, which supports wounded veterans through bicycling programs. A dinner with Karl Rove went for $16,000.

Maples, who is president and chief executive officer of defense contractor R&D Electronics in Brownsboro, said she is a big fan of the former governor.

I like her morals, and I believe she loves America and would like to do what is best for America,” she said. “She doesn’t compromise her morals for votes. That’s very unusual in a politician.”

She talked about her winning bid to break bread with the former governor, not surprisingly, on Faux News.
