Palin's Bridge to Nowhere

We all heard Sarah Palin the other day say, "In fact, I told Congress — I told Congress, ‘Thanks, but no thanks,’ on that bridge to nowhere. If our state wanted a bridge, I said we’d build it ourselves."

Palin had other things to say about the bridge to nowhere back before she had any idea she'd be McCain's VP pick.
