The article specifically addresses "the debate."

The claim is she tried to ban books.

The facts are: 1)someone or some group complained about a book and wanted action. 2)Sarah Pailin, as mayor, asked the librarian what the policy was. 

The facts don't support the claim.

If the librarian being asked to reapply for her position is going to be your bone of contention, then you have to 1st explain why other department heads where also asked to also reapply and why the complianing group's desire for banning was not mentioned.

This is classic synthesis. It's not a story and you're trying to fit the sparse details into some kind of narrative. Asking what the policy for banning a book is does not equal an intent to ban a book.

Asking a librarian how to ban books over and over and then making the librarian reapply for their job is very fishy.

Asking somebody to fire a trooper over and over and then forcing them to relocate to another bureau is very fishy.

I smell a repeat offender.

it doesnt say only the librarian had to reapply.
she never asked anyone to fire a trooper.

i smell a scared liar.

She never asked anyone to fire a trooper? She and her appointees did exactly that about 24 times. She did it for 3 years straight. Unless every single person in Alaska is a liar except for Sarah Palin.

anyone see Charlie Gibson interview Palin?
I think she did fairly well. Tough questions were asked too.

even the guy says she never asked him.

Monegan? He told Palin's office to stop pressuring him to fire Wooten, because the case was closed and he'd already served his suspension, and the amount of phone calls he was getting was too obvious and they could be tracked, and Wooten would be able to sue them. So they forced Monegan to try to force him to relocate to a completely separate job. So Monegan sued them himself. The whole lawsuit is about her asking him to fire Wooten, over and over for years. That's the one thing that's absolutely certain so far: the amount of tracked phone calls. Some were recorded.

National Enquirer's piece on Palin.

Good picture though.

NE is dispicable.  I really want to focus on issues, I am really tired of all of it.

There's plenty to trash Palin about without hurting the kids.  It's not their fault that their mom isn't qualified to be VP.

Tina Fey will llikely portray Palin on SNL.
I think Fey is perfect for this role.
