Sarah Palin’s Resume Isn’t The Only Bridge to Nowhere She Supports

31. August 2008

Sarah Palin, maverick candidate for Vice President, on Friday: And I’ve championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress.

23. August 2008

Remember when John McCain was piously intoning that he didn’t want a campaign based on character attacks and baseless accusations? You know, he wanted to elevate the discourse in American politics. Unfortunately, his campaign has been rather Rovian of late, extending to his attack on the choice of Joe Biden as Barack Obama’s running mate. [...]
