This is a blog about the hogwash that enters lives on a daily, hourly, second by second basis. For instance, as most of us have seen over the last eight years or so, every sound that pours out of George W. Bush’s mouth is hogwash. No, this is not another “bash W. blog.” I just could not think of a better example of metaphorical hogwash. So, be prepared. Whether it is religion, politics, sports, technology, or your mother’s dirty laundry, it’s all Hogwash.Sep 07 2008
Palin In ‘06: I Won’t Let “Spinmeisters” Turn Bridge To Nowhere Into “Something Negative”
I’m trying to find the picture now…
Palin In ‘06: I Won’t Let “Spinmeisters” Turn Bridge To Nowhere Into “Something Negative”
By now, it is evident that the Alaska Republican is either knowingly deceiving voters or simply has her facts wrong when it comes to her support for the bridge. Palin backed the project when she ran for the governor’s seat, even posing for a picture holding a t-shirt reading “Nowhere, Alaska” - a sympathetic gesture to the ridiculed construction plans.
And, it turns out, she once promised the voters of her home state that she would not only come to the defense of the bridge but would “not allow the spinmeisters to turn this project or any other into something that’s so negative.”
Here Palin is from an October 2, 2006 interview with the Ketchikan Daily News, conducted before she was elected governor (and before her opposition to the Bridge to Nowhere became a linchpin of her national persona).
