You would think this bridge was in Egypt with all the denial going on. Blame Bush. Blame Halliburton. Blame Republicans. Well the simple truth tht Garrison and others can't see to accept is that this bridge was poorly built or poorly maintained by people who live in Minnesota. Unionized government workers went out year after year and inspected this bridge and signed their names on forms that said it was safe. At the very least, anybody who signed off on this bridge's safety in the last 10 years should be fired and those who have retired sould be stripped of their pensions. In other states, some of the state highway folks might be looking at prison terms for manslaughter, but I bet in Minnesota, the Democrats will protect state workers and the entire investigate will be muddied. Uzeckistan indeed.
