Stories like this lead to my continued distaste toward Sarah Palin.
FYI, Stein is the former mayor of the town Palin was also mayor of.
Seriously? This woman wanted to disregard the first amendment to appease "some voters" who were clutching their pearls over books with dirty, dirty words? I guess "put down the book and read something else," isn't an option in Alaska.
I suggest everyone go out and buy Arthur Nersesian's The Fuck-Up while you can. If Palin becomes our vice president that book's going to become the newest ingredient added to DuraFlame.
My name; Tina Fey's look; that Northwestern accent that Frances McDormand made so endearing. All of it's being shat upon by Sarah Palin. HATE.

"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."
