I agree, SG.

On CBS news they did a reality check on how she says (over and over and over) that she said to Congress "Thanks but no thanks" to the Bridge to Nowhere. Actually, she asked for the earmark, received some funding, and when the feds backed out she kept the money for other transportation needs. Story here.

McCain has a clean bill when it comes to earmarks: he has been honest in that he did not ask for earmarks. Palin is just telling a story. That can't be good for the McCain campaign, if everyone is interested in truthiness as they claim to be.
