Pipeline to Nowhere?

Palin's big achievement, the oil pipeline, may never be built as Canadian indian tribes who own the land through which it will pass oppose it.

Plus, she's been lying about it, as work on the pipeline has not begun:

"I fought to bring about the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history," Palin said in her speech at the Republican National Convention on Sept. 3, 2008, and in a radio address three days later.

"We began
a nearly $40-billion natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence."

TransCanada has begun planning the pipeline, but it has not started construction, and it will not do so any time soon, if ever.

Heckuva job Sarah!
