Addendum: Sarah Palin, Librarian to the Nation
Another one from Zina Saunders:
And from the Boston Globe. "Palin asked Wasilla librarian about censoring books" (9/14/08):
WASILLA -- Back in 1996, when she first became mayor, Sarah Palin asked the city librarian if she would be all right with censoring library books should she be asked to do so.
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 just said the new mayor felt Emmons didn’t fully support her and had to go.
Spooky, never one to debate the finer points of politics, says of Palin, "The woman's a fucking nutjob, and that's all I have to say on the subject."
