I did also want to emphasize that the idea she kept the $236M is not correct; the total is $36M and that was FHWA general funds, NOT EARMARKS.

Here it is in the Alsakan Democrat Party's own words:

Ted Earmarked Funds for Bridge that Goes Nowhere

"However, Gov. Sarah Palin said the $398 million bridge was $329 million short of full funding, and only $36 million in federal funds were set aside for it. She said it was clear Congress had little interest in spending any more money for it and that the state had higher priorities."

Wyatt Andrews, news commentator for CBS news radio, said this morning in his news broadcast that Palin DID in fact, keep the entire 236 million dollars, essentially calling her a liar to her face...we need a sourced fact-check on this.

The MSM is obsessed now with the idea she must have lied about the bridge, and they’ve lined up in lockstep to try to re-create the “I was for the 87 billion dollars before I was against it” Kerry gaffe that dogged him all through the 2004 election.

I see from the McCain website that they have formed a Palin truth squad.... where are you....hellooooooo......
