West Hollywood: The maker of a Sarah Palin mannequin says a would-be buyer backed out when he discovered its past — as a effigy hung by a noose in a West Hollywood home`s Halloween display.
Professional window dresser ChadMichael Morrisette said the winner of the eBay auction thought he was buying a pro-Palin item until he heard a radio report about it.

Morrisette created the look-alike mannequin of the Republican vice presidential candidate and hung it from his home`s roof for Halloween. He removed it early out of safety concerns after the display prompted protests.
Morrisette told The Los Angeles Times that he would-be sale price was more than $2,200. He hasn`t said whether he would auction the item again.
