WEIGHING IN ON SARAH PALIN

There is no question, from all I’ve read, that Sarah Palin did inquire as to how she would go about getting books banned from her local library. While the list of those books, in wide circulation, is evidently a complete fabrication, the fact that she asked the question is not. To me, that is the single scariest mindset any person in any political office in the U.S. could possibly have, irrespective of their party affiliation. At that point I think there is no, and I mean NO, redemption and it should automatically exempt her from ever holding political office again. It should send up red flags as quickly as if she had asked, “How would I go about getting the President assassinated?”
