A governor's job is to get federal money to their states, while reforming their own state budgets. She did her job, just as the other 49 governors tried to do theirs.

Congress didn't remove the money, only the stipulation on how it had to be spent (I posted a msnbc article telling you this). The money went to Alaska. Remember the first Democratic attack on Palin was that she took the money - she did, and spent it elsewhere. The state could have built the bridge if it wished. They spent it elsewhere. They had the federal money and they could have directed it to the bridge if they wanted and funded their share out of state moneys. Simply repeating things that aren't true just makes you look stupid or dishonest.
