CBS' Schieffer asserted Palin was "against earmarks" and "bridge to nowhere" without noting her earmark requests, previous reported support for bridge

On the August 29 broadcast of the CBS Evening News, Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer asserted that Sen. John McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is "[s]omeone, you know, who is against earmarks, who is against that bridge to nowhere." But as Media Matters for America previously noted, Palin's administration has said it requested federal earmarks in 2008, and she reportedly initially supported the so-called "bridge to nowhere" project. While Palin canceled state funding for the project for a proposed bridge between Ketchikan, Alaska, and Gravina Island in September 2007, Palin reportedly supported it during her 2006 gubernatorial campaign and suggested that Alaska's congressional delegation should continue to try to procure funding -- which was authorized by the federal government in 2005, but never appropriated -- for the project. Further, a March 18 Juneau Empire op-ed by John Katz, Alaska's director of state-federal relations and special counsel to Palin, wrote that in 2008, the Palin administration "request[ed] 31 earmarks, down from 54 last year." From Katz's op-ed, which was highlighted by Bradford Plumer in an August 29 post on The New Republic's blog The Plank: In my opinion, earmarks are not bad in themselves. In fact, they represent a legitimate exercise of Congress' constitutional power to amend the budget proposed by the president. Recognizing there have been instances of earmark abuse, Congress has instituted reforms to bring greater transparency and accountability to the process. These include the identification of each earmark's sponsor and a prohibition against earmarks inserted into the budget without public discussion. Recently, members of the Alaska congressional delegation announced they would post on their Web sites the earmark requests it receives. Gov. Sarah Palin has applauded this decision. Earlier this year, President Bush and the congressional leadership announced that the total number and dollar amount of earmarks must be reduced significantly. The Palin administration has responded to this message by requesting 31 earmarks, down from 54 last year. Of these, 27 involve continuing or previous appropriations and four are new. The total dollar amount of these requests has been reduced from about $550 million in the previous year to just less than $200 million. Further, the governor has insisted that each Alaska request must demonstrate an important federal purpose and strong public support. We also have heard that, wherever possible, a state or local match should be provided. The state's budget requests incorporate this principle. So, it is important to note there is no longer a "free lunch" at the federal level. Most federal requests have state or local budget consequences as well. [...] The governor is very much aware of the importance of the federal budget to virtually every Alaskan. In responding to the new realities, we are not abandoning earmarks altogether but are seeking to constrain and document them in the ways discussed here. From the August 29 edition of the CBS Evening News: KATIE COURIC (anchor): Bob Schieffer is our CBS News chief Washington correspondent and anchor of Face the Nation. Bob, why do you think the McCain campaign went this way? SCHIEFFER: This was John McCain the old fighter pilot, putting it all out on the line there, taking the risk, out of the blue. This was John McCain who made this decision. He really was attracted to her life story. He also thinks, and I think -- his close friends I talked to today say he sees some of himself in her. A maverick, somebody who's willing to take on her own party, clean up corruption -- COURIC: But with conservative principles. SCHIEFFER: Yeah, with conservative principles. Someone, you know, who is against earmarks, who is against that bridge to nowhere. I think John McCain saw John McCain Jr. here in a funny kind of way, and I think that's why he did this. But I got to tell you, Katie, a lot of his friends are really worried about this. As to whether this is going to knock down the best argument they have -- COURIC: Which is experience. SCHIEFFER: -- against Barack Obama, because the bar that he set for Barack Obama, she does not come up to it.

Forbes.com claimed Palin "oppos[es]" earmarks -- but her administration said it requested them this year

In an August 29 article, Forbes.com Washington bureau chief Brian Wingfield asserted that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin "shares [Sen. John] McCain's opposition to earmarks." However, in a March 18 Juneau Empire op-ed, John Katz -- Alaska's director of state-federal relations and special counsel to Palin -- wrote that in 2008, the Palin administration "request[ed] 31 earmarks, down from 54 last year." From Katz's op-ed, which was highlighted by Bradford Plumer in an August 29 blog post on The New Republic's The Plank: In my opinion, earmarks are not bad in themselves. In fact, they represent a legitimate exercise of Congress' constitutional power to amend the budget proposed by the president. Recognizing there have been instances of earmark abuse, Congress has instituted reforms to bring greater transparency and accountability to the process. These include the identification of each earmark's sponsor and a prohibition against earmarks inserted into the budget without public discussion. Recently, members of the Alaska congressional delegation announced they would post on their Web sites the earmark requests it receives. Gov. Sarah Palin has applauded this decision. Earlier this year, President Bush and the congressional leadership announced that the total number and dollar amount of earmarks must be reduced significantly. The Palin administration has responded to this message by requesting 31 earmarks, down from 54 last year. Of these, 27 involve continuing or previous appropriations and four are new. The total dollar amount of these requests has been reduced from about $550 million in the previous year to just less than $200 million. Further, the governor has insisted that each Alaska request must demonstrate an important federal purpose and strong public support. We also have heard that, wherever possible, a state or local match should be provided. The state's budget requests incorporate this principle. So, it is important to note there is no longer a "free lunch" at the federal level. Most federal requests have state or local budget consequences as well. [...] The governor is very much aware of the importance of the federal budget to virtually every Alaskan. In responding to the new realities, we are not abandoning earmarks altogether but are seeking to constrain and document them in the ways discussed here. Wingfield also wrote that Palin "oppos[ed] the infamous 'Bridge to Nowhere.' " However, Media Matters for America has noted that while Palin canceled the project for a proposed bridge between Ketchikan, Alaska, and Gravina Island in September 2007, Palin reportedly supported it during her 2006 gubernatorial campaign and suggested that Alaska's congressional delegation should continue to try to procure funding -- which was authorized by the federal government in 2005, but never appropriated -- for the project. From Wingfield's August 29 Forbes.com article: Palin also shares McCain's opposition to earmarks, opposing the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere," a pet project of two titans of Alaska politics, Rep. Don Young and Sen. Ted Stevens. "I told Congress, 'Thanks, but no thanks' on that Bridge to nowhere," said Palin, who describes herself as a foe of the "good-old-boy network."

Yankees will drag you out of the stadium if you try to go to the bathroom during "God Bless America"

The Yankees are serious about their bizarre prohibition on going to the bathroom during the playing of "God Bless America" during the Seventh Inning Stretch: a man was dragged out of the stadium for daring to stand up and move around instead of singing a patriotic, religious song. I really like Tommy Smothers's formulation of the principle at work here: "America, where you're free to say anything you want, and you'd better not say what you're not supposed to!" The NYCLU seems inclined to follow through with last year's promise to sue the Yankees over their policy of confining fans to their seats during the national anthem and "God Bless America," which is played during the seventh inning stretch. Yesterday Red Sox fan Bradford Campeau-Laurion, a Queens resident, told us about his rough ejection from Yankee stadium at the hands of the NYPD after he tried to go to the men's room during the seventh inning's moment of mandatory nationalism Monday night. NYPD Defends Ejecting Sox Fan from Yankee Stadium During "God Bless America" (Thanks, Bill!)...

Former Seattle Police Chief on the high costs of the drug war

From Reason TV: Norm Stamper is a cop who saw it all during his 34 years on active duty. As police of Seattle from 1994 through 2000, he was in charge during violent World Trade Organization protests in the Emerald City. Stamper, who holds a Ph.D. in leadership and human behavior from United States International University, has emerged as one of the most thoughtful and outspoken critics of the war on drugs, which he believes causes untold misery, undermines effective law enforcement, and doesn't begin to pass any sort of cost-benefit analysis. As important, the libertarian Stamper believes that the drug war?and other wars on the behaviors on consenting adults?does great violence to the idea that we own our bodies. Stamper is the author of the Breaking Rank: A Top Cop's Exposé of the Dark Side of American Policing (2005) and now works with Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), a nonprofit created by former cops to "reduce the multitude of unintended harmful consequences resulting from fighting the war on drugs and to lessen the incidence of death, disease, crime, and addiction by ultimately ending drug prohibition."
