The 12 Lies of Sarah Palin

Andrew Sullivan pulls them all into a single post. First up…

She has lied about the Bridge To Nowhere. She ran for office favoring it, wore a sweatshirt defending it, and only gave it up when the federal congress, Senator McCain in particular, went ballistic. She kept the money anyway and favors funding Don Young’s Way, at twice the cost of the original bridge.

The eleven others are here.

as John McCain morphs into mini-me Karl Rove I can see all of this shit swirling around Sarah Palin as insignificant. Cheney is the henchman, Bush is the...whatever the fuck he is. I believe she is a liar-unfortunately she's got a lot of company

Well let's see . . . Obama has never lied, right? Biden has never lied, right? McCain has never lied, right? Seems like she's in pretty good company.

More proof that this election is a referendum on Obama. The Republicans could be running the shade of Buddy Hackett for president and the numbers wouldn't be much different.

5280 - please provide a list of 12 lies for each of the other candidates that regularly appear in their stump speech despite the fact that they have been called out on those lies repeatedly.

Sullivan was a blowhard on Maher friday. STFU & let Naomi Klein talk. no one cares about your parsing of rational religion vs. irrational religion. its all fairy tales.

Andrew Sullivan started off poorly on Bill Maher by starting a stupid argument with Naomi Klein.

But after than he ROCKED. He's one of the few people who can actually deliver a liberal message with balls. It was also refreshing to hear his confidence that Americans will elect Obama in November. He's right. All this bitching about people being too stupid to make the right choice in November is tiresome, insulting, and has the potential to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Am I the only one who can't get it to load? Is this my company's firewall or a reactionary hacking from Palin's crew?

52-80 typically makes comments that he can never backed up with facts. Posting here is just a form of mental (and I use that term loosely) masturbation for him. Best just to ignore him like everyone else does.

never mind.

This list wouldn't be as devastating if it could be countered with (at least) 12 honest accomplishments. Can it?
