Joe Biden has had a good time talking about the Bridge to Nowhere, and
so far the mainstream media has been happy to repeat his attacks on
Sarah Palin for her initial support for the Ketchikan bridge before
opposing it as governor. However, CNN finally reports on the support
this bridge received from both Biden and Barack Obama, and goes one
better. They report on Biden’s pork record, including a project that
CNN calls The Bridge to Two Nowheres
How much do you want to bet that John McCain will use “The Bridge to
Two Nowheres” in the next debate? Sarah Palin may get to it first on
Thursday. Certainly, the McCain/Palin campaign has worked with Palin to
put these projects at the forefront in her debate with Biden.
Biden may have more to explain on Thursday. Last week, USA Today
reported that Biden has $51.5 million in earmarks in the continuing
resolution bill meant to keep government operating in lieu of an actual
budget, which Democrats don’t want to produce before seeing who wins
the presidential election. Obama suspended his earmark requests, but
Biden has no such discipline. Of course, he’s also running for Senate
and needs to bring home the pork in order to justify his existence.
