Campaign fact-checkers were back to work on Monday, criticizing Gov. Sarah Palin for restating a false claim about the notorious “Bridge to Nowhere” that had been removed from her stump speech over the weekend. “I did tell Congress, ‘Thanks, but no thanks’ — if we wanted a bridge up there we were going to build it ourselves,” she said, repeating the line for the 10th time since being selected by John McCain 18 days ago.

In fact, the son of the “Bridge to Nowhere” is still alive and kicking in Alaska. Moreover, state officials are currently reworking designs for the project to allow for federal funds to cover a larger share of the total cost.  Source Article
