The Sarah Palin library/ book banning issue update

Here's the most recent (and seemingly most accurate) update on VP candidate questioning the Wassila librarian about banning books.

In December 1996, Emmons told her hometown newspaper, the Frontiersman, that Palin three times asked her -- starting before she was sworn in -- about possibly removing objectionable books from the library if the need arose.

I am always amazed that anyone ever thinks it's a good idea to ask librarians to remove books. Seriously. I just want to ask people who do that if they've ever, you know, met a librarian.

Exactly. Librarians are the essence of mild-mannered, except about THE BOOKS. Do not mess with a librarian's books, dudes.
