 She went on to try to explain who would be to blame for this road that leads absolutely nowhere. In this interview, Stapleton told me there was nothing the governor could do in this case. Stapleton: “Uh, my understanding is that, you know, I'd have to look in to that for you.  So, the governor had no option.â€īoudreau: “Could she have stopped construction?†That earmark was given, was dictated to us, and it had to be spent on Gravina Road – and nothing else. Stapleton:  “The governor could not change that earmark.  Here is part of that interview:īoudreau: “It’s hard to imagine that the governor wouldn't think that this was a waste of money – taxpayer money.† I interviewed Meg Stapleton, a spokesperson for the campaign. Now, many locals coined it the “Road to Nowhere.† And guess who paid for it? You! Âīut what’s really interesting is the response we received from the McCain – Palin camp about this road.
 The bridge was never built, after it was publicly ridiculed by Congress as being a waste of taxpayer money.But the road that was designed to connect from the bridge to the airport was built. Your happy childhood may have to wait.Here’s some background: At one point, there was supposed to be a bridge that would make it easier for people who live or visit Ketchikan, Alaska to get to nearby Gravina Island, where the airport sits. In her Facebook posting, Palin claims she’s leaving office for a “higher calling.” Sarah's Megalomania Show, instead of coming to an end, may be just getting started. Somehow, though, I can’t see Palin ceding her celebrity. And then there’s her fidgety brood, who deserve more than to wake up to Matt Lauer and a film crew asking them questions in their kitchen. For starters, she’d have a lot of esplainin’ to do about bailing on the good people of Alaska. But I’d be knocked over by a moose nugget if she were actually clearing the decks for a presidential run. It’s Palin’s MO to move in and out of political offices quickly (usually after setting them on fire, figuratively speaking). Huntsman is doing (also breaking a few hearts and promises in the process), but to “effect positive change outside government.” Not to sail off to an ambassadorship in China, as our own Gov. Might be votes in that.īut their shared delusion of grandeur came at a price: unrelenting extreme closeups of five kids-named after people, places and things you might encounter while snowmobiling across Alaska - age 18 and under, unwitting players in a One Tree Hillmeets Ice Road Truckersreality show.īut to Palin's credit, on Friday, she said she at least consulted them and let them vote (“It was four yes's and one ‘hell yeah!’”) on her latest round of impetuousness - that being to vacate the Governor’s Mansion in two weeks.
#PALIN ROAD TO NOWHERE PLUS#
But he shares the same blinding impetuous streak, plus a weakness for the ladies-especially one with the sexy librarian thing going and one who espouses good Christian living. McCain, older and wiser, might have seen it coming for her, too. Sarah Palin not been so impetuous in the first place, she might have seen the “Jerry Springerizing” of her family as a potential downside before she climbed aboard McCain’s "dirigible to nowhere." Nothing like a naughty late-night skewering of your teenage daughters to show you the folly of your enterprise.
