Think you know Sarah Palin? The former Alaska governor has been in the spotlight ever since John McCain named her as his running mate on Aug. 29, 2008. Yet, while practically everybody has an opinion about Palin, not all of those opinions are grounded in reality. Many of them are based more on a "Saturday Night Live" caricature than on the living, breathing, 46-year-old mother of five. The real Sarah Palin is a complex woman who has risen in no time from obscurity to the stratosphere of American politics, fusing celebrity and populism in novel ways. Now that she's laying the foundation for a possible presidential run in 2012, it's worth taking a moment to separate the fact about Palin from the fable.

"Would you continue state funding for the proposed Knik Arm and Gravina Island bridges?" "Yes. I would like to see Alaska's infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later. The window is now - while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist." "I think we're going to make a good team as we progress that bridge project."
No spewing or campaign rhetoric, just been trying to get you to answer some basic questions. And please see "shouting" comment above.
Interesting, so you now agree with her own words (sic) that she supported the Bridge to Nowhere and additional state funding to complete it at the $233+ million price tag. But you don't believe that constituted a boondoggle, only later was it a boondoggle.
FYI, there was a specific earmark but it got stripped out of the spending bill. The money stayed in after Stevens threatened to quit the Senate.
BTW, did you know that she completed the $26 million Road to Nowhere anyway?
SNL means snot nosed liars, much like you, you little piece of out house dwelling fungus.
