Sarah Palin, Gun-Toting Slayer of the Bridge to Nowhere

Katherine Mangu-Ward | August 29, 2008

It's Sarah Palin for McCain VP, and she has at least two things going for her in my eyes:

1) Lifetime membership in the NRA

2) About a year ago, she dealt the final blow to the Bridge to Nowhere, the handywork of fellow Alaskan Sen. Ted Stevens. According to the Anchorage Daily News:

She directed the state transportation department to find the most "fiscally responsible" alternative for access to the airport.

And yes, as far as I can tell, that really is a photo of Palin with a deer some kind of Alaskan wildlife that she shot.
