...really is a woman after John McCain's own heart:

"I told Congress, thanks but no thanks on that bridge to nowhere," Palin told the cheering McCain crowd, referring to Ketchikan's Gravina Island bridge.

But Palin was for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it.

The Alaska governor campaigned in 2006 on a build-the-bridge platform, telling Ketchikan residents she felt their pain when politicians called them "nowhere." [...]

In September, 2006, Palin showed up in Ketchikan on her gubernatorial campaign and said the bridge was essential for the town's prosperity.

Wow... she really is a maverick. To make the soundbite line of her speech a bald-faced lie, instead of the half-truths and bumbling "my friends" of John McCain, is truly mavericky and bold.

Is anyone over at Camp McCain doing their job? Come to think of it, is anyone in the national media - you know, the people who should be pointing out that Palin openly lied in her speech - doing their job?
