Memo to the McCain/Palin campaign, it’s time to give up the lie that Sarah Palin stopped the Bridge to Nowhere:
[Chris} WALLACE [Fox News Sunday]: And she supported the “bridge to nowhere,” and it was only after the federal government dropped it out and killed it, the Congress killed it, that she then opposed it. And in fact, she still got the money for the approach, the ramp, to the “bridge to nowhere.”
DAVIS: Congress didn’t beat back the “bridge to nowhere.” That funding…
WALLACE: I know, but she accepted the money.
DAVIS: That funding was in the grant, and she said, “I’m not spending that money.” And what they did — they took a $500 million bridge and she turned it into a $2 million ferry. And that’s what she did on her own without any help from anybody else.
WALLACE: Well, actually, it was Congress that killed the money for the “bridge to nowhere.”
It’s such a minor point, that one wonders why they continue to repeat an obvious and provable falsehood.
