Sarah Killed the Bridge

Hey Barack, get over it, Sarah killed the bridge. (She made an executive decision.) Powerline. New McCain-Palin ad, The Original Mavericks: P.S. To repeat, Stop the Smears!!! Here's one I believe is debunked particularly well:

Yes, it does appear that Palin’s local pastor preached about an end time when God will judge everyone, even Wasilla, Alaska, and the United States. Duh. This is called the Book of Revelations, and while I don’t believe it personally, I don’t see it as a disqualifier for the hundred million or so Baptists, Methodists, Evangelicals, Episcopalians, Catholics, Assembly of God, Presbyterian, Lutherans (traditional and Missouri Synod), African Methodist, and so on Christians in the US.

A few more:

Yes, she did try to cut her own salary as Mayor by $4000 a year; yes, she had voted against the $4000 a year raise while on the City Council.

No, she didn’t cut funding for unwed mothers; yes, she did increase it by “only” 354 percent instead of 454 percent, as part of a multi-year capital expenditures program. No, the Washington Post doesn’t appear to have corrected their story. Even after this was pointed out in the comments on the story.

No, she didn’t cut special needs student funding; yes, she did raise it by “only” 175 percent.
