DEWEY BEACH, Delaware (CNN) -- Although Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden routinely mocks his Republican counterpart, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, for her onetime support of the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere," Biden and his running mate voted to keep the project alive twice.
Both Biden and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama voted to kill a Senate amendment that would have diverted federal funding for the bridge to repair a Louisiana span badly damaged by Hurricane Katrina, Senate records show.
And both voted for the final transportation bill that included the $223 million earmark for the Alaska project.

Whaaat? CNN deciding to actually report, not interpret or fabricate???
I just fell off my chair.
Quick! Someone check the temperature in hell for it hath surely frozen over.
[You guys report to the principal’s office now!]
Lol, that’s about the size of it!! We need to give him a hunk of bread to chew on.

Good thing there are no flies in the WH!
GW could be in trouble!
What is going on tonight?
NY Times had it in an email it was McCain’s idea for this meeting on the bailout and that Obama originally said no. Also said that McCain talked to Bush this afternoon and then their staffs talked and Bush called Obama at 7:30 tonight.
[Good thing there are no flies in the WH!]
Lol, he kinda looks like what Obama says. Oh, uh, um, ahh. Has a nice beat to it...!
Dear CNN,
Too little. Too late. Too bad.
Regards,
Submitted for your approval: a wilderness of mirrors normally exaggerating Republican defects while photoshopping Democrat crimes has suddenly presented reality.
The signpost up ahead--next stop: The Twilight Zone.
That’s a fact — The Twilight Zone! All of a sudden truth matters today? What next?
Could be an end times thing.
ROFLOL!!! This is a day for the history books!
If it’s a waste of your money, liberals are for it.
BTT!
This is probably the first time I have ever bumped a CNN story.
Could the bridge to nowhere take you to Larry Sinclair’s love lair??
So excellent and funny too!
I think they realize how angry all the American people are about this financial crisis. The anger is becoming palpable. At some point, pitchforks may come to D.C., and they want to look like they are not part of the problem. They are afraid it may blow back on them. But as you said, too little, too late, too bad.
Omigosh!
ROTFLOL!
That’s GREAT!
Billy Jeff’s pants are real low-riders! ;o)
