Sarah Palin is such an incredible failure at everything that she doesn't even know how to go about being a failure.
A book burner can be a real pro at what they do. Whoever was in charge of the libraries in my area that illegally blocked my website really knew how to pull off their censorious deed. The Nazis who sued a school because it refused to censor an anti-bullying book also knew how to pull it off.
But Failin' Palin?
Well. She can't even do that right.
It's known that Palin abused her mayoral powers to try to have books at the public library censored. The wingnutosphere now claims to have debunked this story. But they haven't. The only thing that's clear now is that she tried to have books pulled but failed.
Oh well. I guess a failure who's a such a big failure that they failed at failing is the best kind of failure to have. But I'd rather not have a failure in charge of anything.
The librarian at the city of Wasilla's library said Palin asked her repeatedly how to ban books. But no specific volumes were mentioned, and the librarian didn't cave in. Later, Palin fired numerous city employees - including the librarian - because Palin believed they were not political supporters. (The firings closely followed the librarian's refusal to yank books.)
In summary, Palin tried to have books pulled from the library but was unsuccessful in this censorship attempt.
Most of the media is stuck on stupid by trying to place its own pro-Palin spin on the matter, but the Anchorage Daily News did mention the fact that "Sarah Palin asked the city librarian if she would be all right with censoring library books should she be asked to do so."
