Sarah Palin and John McCain are going all over the country saying how Sarah Palin killed the Bridge to Nowhere (not true) and that she said “No Thanks” to the Feds when presented with the money.

Really?

What happened to the $223 million Palin is saying she said “No Thanks” to?

She kept it. Once it was no longer earmarked for the Bridge, Palin kept it for other pork barrel projects of her own choosing.
