Tentative signs Tuesday that reality just might be starting to catch up to Palin. Here is the Wall Street Journal with the most definitive takedown I've yet seen on the bridge:
She endorsed the multimillion dollar project during her gubernatorial race in 2006. And while she did take part in stopping the project after it became a national scandal, she did not return the federal money. She just allocated it elsewhere.
"We need to come to the defense of Southeast Alaska when proposals are on the table like the bridge," Gov. Palin said in August 2006, according to the local newspaper, "and not allow the spinmeisters to turn this project or any other into something that's so negative."
She and McCain are still on the hustings saying she opposed it. Politicians always use weasel words but they very rarely lie outright, out of self-interest -- the downsides are too high. But Palin just doesn't care. Amazing. This may start catching up though finally.
