The Legend of Sarah Palin's Fairy-Tale »
Posted By Disembedded 1 year, 4 months ago in Humor"The Unabridged Origin and Evolution of Sarah Palin's Fairy-Tale Bridge to Nowhere" is truly an epic tale of a grand delusion. Yep, this nonexistent bridge could well go down in political history as the "Sarah Palin Causeway" or perhaps "The Palin Bridge of Insanity."
The wildly over-the-top scale of the proposed Gravina Island Bridge construction plans would have linked an Alaskan hamlet of only 50 persons to a small town of 7,685. It was to have been almost as long as San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge and even taller than the Brooklyn Bridge. Maybe some ingenious Alaskan political porker, no doubt Palin herself, would have christened the Gravina Island “Bridge to Nowhere” as The Sarah Palin Causeway.
Oh, yes. Can’t forget this little tidbit. The big double-dollop of icing on top of that porker-cake. Nope, can't forget that. Sarah Palin also threw her political clout behind a project to build a road on Gravina Island that led to the Bridge to Nowhere, even though the bridge ended up not being built. A road to a bridge to nowhere that wasn’t even there itself, to a nonexistent bridge. And up to this very day, the state of Alaska is continuing construction on that $24 million gravel road on Gravina Island that leads up to an empty beach where the bridge would have gone, but never did.
The $24 million gravel Road to Nowhere for the $233 million Bridge to Nowhere. Is this not a true example of grandiose, delusional thinking?
This detailed article includes photographs, humorous videos and two very funny animations. Have yourself a look and just be appalled!!
