Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, September 25, 2008

Although Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden routinely mocks his Republican counterpart, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, for her onetime support of the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere," Biden and his running mate voted to keep the project alive twice.

Hypocrisy knows no bounds in Demoworld. Won't see this on the front page, that's for sure.

"Because, yes, they had a chance to vote specifically against the Bridge to Nowhere in Alaska to redirect the money to people, to bridges and infrastructure damaged by Hurricane Katrina going in to New Orleans, and they chose not to."

Not only are they fiscally irresponsible, they're just plain heartless cocksuckers, too. Vote Obama/Biden for more change - leaving your pocket.

Gee, what a crisis!
Maybe they should "suspend" their campaign and go run and hide with McCain.

Maybe they should erase all traces from their website that this ever occurred, like Barry is famous for? Obama wants to debate - McCain wants to act. From your previous posts I can tell you side with inaction. And hypocrisy. I notice you can't address THIS hypocrisy, huh, Doc? Keep defelcting....

and deflecting! Ha!

Biden and his running mate voted to keep the project alive twice.

Double the hypocrisy! Your boys are twice exposed as fiscally irresponsible drones, Doc.

Cookfish once again shows he knows nothing on how the process works.

but keep posting cook, maybe 15 to 20 more in a row might get you to the front.

So, 'splain how it werks, $war...does it go sumpin' like "You vote for my pork and I'll vote fer yerz"?

Transportation bill dick weed, but guess you didn't see that did you.

"dick weed"....still chuckling.....I had higher expectations....

Let me see if I understand what you are saying, Cookfish:

If Gov. Palin was promoting the "Bridge To Nowhere", that's OK (good even!) because her duty was to bring benefits to her constituents.

HOWEVER, if other Senators support a bill that contains "The Bridge To Nowhere" item along with (AND THIS IS THE KEY POINT) MANY other items, then they are being hypocritical?!

Then again, if those Senators had defeated the bill because it had this "one wart", you'd decry their irresponsibility as "doing nothing"?!

OK, I think I've got it now ;-)!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA........

"Maybe they should erase all traces from their website"

Nah, I'll stick with my original suggestion:
Be like John "Bug-Out" McCain and just put the campaign in hibernation mode.
Y'know: that place McCain's been for years.
After all, can't POTUS just withdraw from the kitchen when it starts to heat up?
LOL

I prefer: John "I'm the Suspender" McCain (tm).

"I prefer: John "I'm the Suspender" McCain (tm)."

So do I!
LOL

sorry i latter posted you on this cookfish!

::chirp::

arah Palin supported the "bridge to nowhere" long after it had become an icon of wasteful federal spending.

By the time she held up a T-shirt proclaiming her support for the bridge during her 2006 campaign for governor, it already had been derided across the Lower 48 as a monument to waste including by Palin's current running mate, Arizona Sen. John McCain.

Palin was campaigning for the votes of Alaskans who wanted the bridge and who felt aggrieved by all the criticism it had attracted. The shirt's message said she was one of them, not one of those critics who didn't even know the local ZIP code. This was tiny Ketchikan, the "nowhere" to be reached by the bridge or as the T-shirt defiantly proclaimed, this was "NOWHERE ALASKA 99901."

Just in case there was any doubt about her position, Palin who grew up in Alaska's Matanuska-Susitna Valley used some local slang, declaring, "OK, you've got valley trash standing here in the middle of nowhere. I think we're going to make a good team as we progress that bridge project."

In fact, Palin supported two Alaska bridges: the planned Gravina Island Bridge and its even costlier sister, the Knik Arm Bridge.

Offsetting penalties. Replay first down.
