McCain's Veep Palin asked the library how she could go about banning books!
Edited on Tue Sep-02-08 01:48 AM by FrenchieCat
:wow:

"Stein says that as mayor, 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." The librarian, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire her for not giving "full support" to the mayor."

9. As a librarian myself
I would have said to Palin "If we ban the books you don't like, then we can ban books I don't like, such as the Bible. Deal?"

:patriot:
