Quote by: Nono  Now move up nice'n'close to the screen. And squint. The list was from Jinei, not from me.
Actually, I was also wondering about the provenance of Jinei's list.
According to my source, the International Herald Tribune, she was indeed fired.
Are you saying the IHL is mistaken in its facts?
And, Katie, that's source (S-O-U-R-C-E). You oughta try citing one some time. I mean, just for a change. |
Nono,
Your article uses the word "fire" incorrectly.

Politics - Book-ban question returns for Palin - sacbee.com According to news coverage at the time, the librarian said she would definitely not be all right with it. A few months later, the librarian, Mary Ellen Emmons, got a letter from Palin telling her she was going to be fired. The censorship issue was not mentioned as a reason for the firing. The letter said the new mayor felt Emmons didn't fully support her and had to go.
The librarian was not actually fired by Palin. Do you need more links? The librarian ACTUALLY left by her own free will
Also, the article has the following:
Palin, questioned at the time, called her inquiries rhetorical and simply part of a policy discussion with a department head "about understanding and following administration agendas," according to the Frontiersman article.
Regarding the second quote, I'm not buying it; but, I'm also not drinking the Kool Aid that she fired the librarian either. She didn't.
