The art of pathological lying

Yeah, I have plenty of problems with Sarah Palin, as I have previously noted, but could she at least have the decency to tell the truth? Her most egregious lie has been this line in her stump speech:

I told Congress, “Thanks, but no thanks for that Bridge to Nowhere in Alaska.” If we wanted that bridge, we’d build it ourselves.

That's bullshit. It's been noted by one of the major Alaska dailies, the Washington Post, the New York Times, ABC News, and just about every media outlet with a thinking brain somewhere in the news department that Palin is being less than truthful about this, which was first mentioned in her initial stump speech in Dayton, Ohio (for what it's worth, it seems like she's given the exact same speech over and over again on the trail - probably because she doesn't know enough about national politics to speak on her own).

What's audacious is that she's repeated the lie 27 times. That is an awful lot of times to repeat the same falsehood over and over with a straight face, and especially after it has become widely disproven. Have some decency and 'fess up to your support, Governor.
