Quote by: Nono  It's tough being a small-town mayor, since in addition to all your other duties (cutting ribbons, whatever) you find yourself -- at least if you're Sarah Palin -- with the onerous duty of censoring the books in the municipal library.
When she became mayor of Wasilla Back in the 1990s, Palin seems to have fired the local librarian, Mary Ellen Emmons, for not falling into line.
Here are some excerpts from an article published in December 1996 by The Frontiersman, the local paper : Palin: Library censorship inquiries 'Rhetorical' - Frontiersman
According to this article in the International Herald Tribune ( Palin's start in Alaska: Not politics as usual - International Herald Tribune) "Palin fired Emmons shortly after taking office but changed course after residents made a strong show of support."
I wonder whether this story is getting any media play in the US.
And ask yourself this : If the shoe had been on the Democratic foot, would it be getting media play.
Three guesses.
Anyway, once she's VP she can go to work on the Library of Congress. That'll keep her busy. |
Oh, Nono, you are so delusional!
If Palin had been a Democrat, would this story have more media attention? Well, let's see . . . Which newspaper broke the story about Edwards' affair . . . Oh, that's right . . . The National Inquirier . . . The National Inquirer because the American media is so wrought with liberal bias that Edwards having an affair on his dying wife was broke by a TABLOID Magazine! The MSNBC commentators are so sick of their own Obama media bias that the network is imploding!
Kudos to Palin for being tough. She never followed through with censorship, never stated what she thought was offensive. The libarian quit on her own.
Re-read the article!
