Sarah Palin Supports Banning Books from a Public Library

OK.. I'm on a roll.. and up late working, so here's the last entry for the night.

There is a pattern of abuse of power in Governor Palin's political career. She is currently under investigation for abuse of power as Governor. The pattern, however has been there since her first term as Mayor of Wassila, as this article brings to light.
This is about as blatant as it gets. Not only the abuse of power, but the that as mayor, she wanted to ban books from the public library. Outrageous!!

I was investigating resources referenced on the Wiki for Sarah Palin and came across this NYT article. Please read the entire article, a snippet quoted below:

Ann Kilkenny, a Democrat who said she attended every City Council meeting in Ms. Palin’s first year in office, said Ms. Palin brought up the idea of banning some books at one meeting. “They were somehow morally or socially objectionable to her,” Ms. Kilkenny said.
The librarian, Mary Ellen Emmons, pledged to “resist all efforts at censorship,” Ms. Kilkenny recalled. Ms. Palin fired Ms. Emmons shortly after taking office but changed course after residents made a strong show of support.
