23 Naked Lies by Palin on Bridge to Nowhere so far.
Think Progress is keeping track:

Today at a rally with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in Ohio, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) once again repeated the lie that she opposed the infamous Bridge to Nowhere in Alaska.

You’re going to hear a lot about the abusive practice of earmarks in Congress from our good senator here. We championed, in Alaska, the reform of the old earmark process. We told Congress, “Thanks, but no thanks for that Bridge to Nowhere up in Alaska.” If our state wanted a bridge, we were going to build it ourselves.ThinkProgress has been keeping track of how many times the McCain campaign is repeating this lie. Palin’s comments today bring the number to 23 times:

Update: The Wall Street Journal notes today that in August 2006, Palin said: "We need to come to the defense of Southeast Alaska when proposals are on the table like the bridge and not allow the spinmeisters to turn this project or any other into something that's so negative."

2. Only 23?
In either event, an odd number for an even odder woman.

3. Give her time, and she will defeat the 23 paradox.

4. She can't very well stop using it now. That would be an admission of lying.
