Like all other Republicans who claim to hate pork, it turns out that she really likes it sliced real thin, so it isn't noticed as much.

And then lies about what was on the "sandwich".

What a lying sack she is. But then look who chose her.

New bumper sticker for the Rs.

Governor Sarah Palin's interview with Charlie Rose 10/12/07

CR: What was that highway Senator Stevens wanted to build?

SP: He wanted to build a bridge.

CR: You stopped that didn't you?

SP: Stopped that because we'll make sensible decisions using other peoples money, federal money, and we'll make some wise decisions on how to build up our infrastructure.

CR: Did you get any feedback on your decision?

SP: From those in Congress?

CR: Yes

SP: Yes I did, but Alaskans are supportive, again just to make some wise decisions with other peoples money.

The governor's decision was made just 6 weeks after U.S. Senator Ted Stevens Girdwood home was raided by the FBI and rumors were at a fever pitch that an indictment was soon to follow.

The reason for sending out the 5am press release was to hit east coast newscycles to gain maximum national attention for the move. The move garnered big news coverage nationwide.

According to the Associated Press, when she was running for governor in 2006, Palin said she was insulted by the term "bridge to nowhere," according to Ketchikan Mayor Bob Weinstein, a Democrat, and Mike Elerding, a Republican who was Palin's campaign coordinator in the southeast Alaska city.

"People are learning that she pandered to us by saying, I'm for this' ... and then when she found it was politically advantageous for her nationally, abruptly she starts using the very term that she said was insulting," Weinstein said.

Ketchikan is the fourth largest city in Alaska. The residents there do have a problem with their governor referring to them as "Nowhere".

Palin spent $26 MILLION on this lovely "road to nowhere." People of Alaska should be royally p*ssed off.
