Fair enough. It seems less malicious upon rereading it. Then-again, she did blame inaccurate portrayals of projects as being the problem, and in the context of her quote she seems to be attributing this problem the failure to secure funding for this specific bridge. It certainly isn't a ringing endorsement for the bridge, but she isn't deriding it either, and I haven't found much of anything else on her that implies she was ever against it until congress denied funding. Really seems like more of an indifference than 'fighting against pork barreling.' Perhaps she has fought with other issues related to porkbarreling, however it doesn't seem like the 'bridge to nowhere' issue is all too applicable to this cause.
