The attacks on Sarah Palin continue. These attacks give new meaning to the word hypocrisy, as best exemplified by the so-called Bridge to Nowhere controversy.
While it is true that Governor Sarah Palin initially supported funding for the “Bridge to Nowhere”, the fact remains that she killed the project, and did indeed say “no thanks”.
But lost in the reporting of Obama-Biden’s attacks on Palin’s initial support for the Bridge to Nowhere project is the fact that BOTH Senators Obama AND Biden VOTED FOR funding the Bridge-- even when given a second chance by Sen. Tom Coburn, who proposed shifting earmark funds to Katrina relief.
