Slow News Day - Sarah Palin


From Daily Kos where they also have a video posted on a Republican talking head trying to defend the Palin choice...

It was a slow day in terms of Sarah Palin news. Let's see what we've learned:

* From an article in Time, we learn that she's into book censorship.

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." That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor.

* Here's an article about her and religion. In this quote from a speech before the Pentacostal church, we learn that she can spew religious nonsense just like George Bush.

"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."
