The Viaduct

I wonder how long it will take Mayor Nickels to try and parlay the tragic bridge collapse in Minnesota into more support for his plan to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct with a tunnel?

Tony Snow is already pointing fingers, blaming the the state of Minnesota. What a classless piece of waste that man is.

Later in the morning, the White House said that an inspection two years ago found structural deficiencies in the bridge. White House press secretary Tony Snow said it rated 50 on a scale of 120 for structural stability.

"This doesn't mean there was a risk of failure, but if an inspection report identifies deficiencies, the state is responsible for taking corrective actions," he said.
