More on Palin (i'm sorry, it's just too fun)

Palin Continues to Lie About Bridge To Nowhere

Tonight Sarah Palin, obviously with the full approval of John McCain, repeated the lie that she opposed the infamous "bridge to nowhere."

I told the Congress "thanks, but no thanks," for that Bridge to Nowhere.

If our state wanted a bridge, we'd build it ourselves. When oil and gas prices went up dramatically, and filled up the state treasury, I sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged - directly to the people of Alaska.

Not just a lie, but a damned lie. As I pointed out earlier today:

Via Balloon Juice:

Remember that bridge to nowhere Sarah Palin was supposed to have opposed and stopped, since she is a mavericky reformer and soulmate of John McCain?

Well, Andrew Halcro has some interesting quotes, including this:

“Palin said Alaska’s congressional delegation worked hard to obtain funding for the bridge as part of a package deal and that she ‘would not stand in the way of the progress toward that bridge.”

Even better, though, is this picture of Palin and her team campaigning in Ketchikan, back when their votes mattered and the bridge was a good thing:

Let's not forget what Sarah Palin said the night she was introduced to the nation as the potential 72 year old heartbeat away from the presidency:

In fact, I told Congress — I told Congress, “Thanks, but no thanks,” on that bridge to nowhere.

Well, maybe Sarah Palin is ready to be on the GOP ticket...she has the lying thing down pat.

She's lying...repeatedly.
