Palin Killed the Bridge to Nowhere

LIBERAL COLUMNISTS AND the mainstream media have been unusually tolerant 
of Barack Obama's exaggerated claims of major legislative accomplishments. 
Just this week, Obama said his proposal was the "basis" for the economic 
stimulus package that was enacted last winter, a claim even Democrats 
regard as false. But Sarah Palin's insistence that, as governor of Alaska, 
she killed the infamous Bridge to Nowhere--that's another story. She's 
accused of lying by the Obama-leaning media.

She isn't lying. Palin did kill the bridge. It wasn't an act of great 
political courage. It didn't have to be, since the bridge had become a 
national symbol of wasteful congressional spending. But Palin did have the 
option of saving the project--several options actually. And there was 
still some support for the bridge among state and local (in Ketchikan, 
where the bridge was to be built) officials in Alaska. But Palin chose to 
terminate the whole thing.
