I saw Katie Couric doing her horrible report. She said, (paraphrasing) "Gov Pawlenty has said that 80(?) percent of the bridges in Minnesota have a deficient rating."

And then she added "as if that makes us feel better"

What an utterly juvenile and irresponsible thing to say at this time and in this location.

She then read parts of Nick the Unbearable Liberal's column, proudly announcing it was from the sickle.

A truly shameless opportunist she is. Thanks Katie, for reminding me why I can't stand you. Now get out of Minnesota.

Katie’s an idiot. MN is ranked #3 in the nation in our bridge inspection ratings. He said 80,000 bridges in the Country have a structural deficiencies rating which is true.

I don't know if you heard Soucheray's show today. Couric is an idiot, as if we didn't know that already.

According to the stats Joe had, Minnesota is third in the nation for bridge safety behind Nevada and Arizona. It breaks down to about 8% with varying degrees of deficiency on a scale from one to four. The 35 W bridge was a 2.

Most of the bridges that fell in the deficiency rating were there because the newer large trucks couldn't fit under them since the bridges were built, thus truck reroute roads.

The libs are in full "Katrina mode," spinning the truth to blame it all on evil conservatives.

Makes me want to vomit with all those poor peoples's bodies still floating in the river. The usual MSM spinmeisters are sheer evil in my mind. I don't know whether to laugh at the absurdity or cry.

Thanks for catching my mistake.

No offense to the Pioneer Press on my part. ; )
