The first thing Palin did after being elected [as Mayor of Wasilla] was fire six department heads in the City, including the Police Commissioner and the librarian. As The Anchorage Daily News put it: “the newly elected mayor of Wasilla has asked all of the city’s top managers to resign in order to test their loyalty to her administration.”
I can’t help but think she’s a good fit for Bush’s third term… oops, I mean, McCain’s ticket. Wrongfully-terminating government officials is a key skill for any member of the current Republican Party seeking higher office.

I think this quote is more ….. impressive.
“… one of the very first things [Palin] did after being elected Mayor was pressure the librarian to ban books which she found offensive in some way: 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.”
WOO BOOK BANNING!!
