Mayor Palin: A Rough Record - TIME

It's in Time magazine.

Mayor Palin: A Rough Record - TIME

Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor.

Then why didn't you just link to the article directly? Most of what you post is bullshit blogs, so when I see blog, I don't click the link.

And, this article is just a bitter loser's whining about how Palin smoked her in a race.

Sound familiar?

Show me the "news report from the time."

"But we can perhaps remember, even if only for a time, that those who live with us, are our brothers. They share with us the same short moment of life. They seek as we do, nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and happiness. Winning what satisfaction and fulfillment they can. Surely this bond of common fate, this bond of common goal; can begin to teach us something. Surely we can learn, at least to look at those around us, as fellow men. Surely we can begin to work a little harder to bind up the wounds among us, and to become in our own heart's brothers and countrymen once again." - Robert F. Kennedy

I have the librarian's phone number, believe or not.

I'm glad you asked.

This chick is bad news.

Here's one. Emmons is the librarian. She *was* fired, and this report shows that she got her job back, by deciding to support Palin after all.

I suggest you read the article. And, I'm sure there's more in the results tab. I'll keep looking.

So, Palin fired people who were not in favor of her reform? That's how reform works. It's the same reason she dismissed Commissioner Monegan. If you aren't doing your job, you lose it. Sarah obviously felt these people were not performing their jobs to her standards.

As for banning books, yeah, that's a bit crazy. But, as you see, it didn't happen.

The abuse of power thing goes back to Wasilla. Now she stepped in sh*t and has to hire a lawyer. She's going down.
