Slog - Comments on She Is Evil http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/she_is_evil Just in case you were in doubt about Sarah Palin, from Time: 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. "The librarian was aghast." The librarian, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire her for not giving "full support" to the mayor. Before, hating her was sport but now, it's personal. In other Palin news,...

"Less than a week ago most Americans didn’t have a clue who Sarah Palin is, but now 30% of them would rather meet her than Barack Obama or John McCain. "

Can you imagine - a book-banning petty power-tripper becomes Vice President of the U.S.A?!?

I'm sure she wanted to ban some sex ed book, if this is true and not a rumor.

Who are her political allies, anyway? It sounds like her own party couldn't work with her in Alaska.

Ban books you don't like. Fire people you can't dominate. Ignore politicians who won't bend to your will. Meanwhile, give the press a field day with one family drama after another.

Worst. Politician. Ever.

Crazy that they didn't think about the possibility that she could be the one picked. It's like how you don't insult the ex-significant other of a friend until you're sure they're not going to get back together....

Sarah Palin is a bag of trash; she didn't even get to the office she holds on her own merits, but rather the criminal taint of the loser she replaced. Every ten minutes a new horror story comes out. My favorite is the one where the "fiscal conservative" raised taxes by 33% in just a few years in her small town, and spending by 38%, and left the town with a $12 million debt where none had existed before. She's doing exactly the same thing to Alaska now; pissing away assets, borrowing heavily to do the stuff that's necessary. The reason her approval rating is so high is because she's been mailing out checks to everybody.

Sarah Palin is PIG IGNORANT. She's intolerant, narrow-minded, blockheaded, torpid, dense, dishonest and foul. She's stuck in high school, giggling at her opponents, lying casually about things that are easy to look up. She's perfect for John McCain.

I'll bet his campaign staff can just start saying "Pawlenty, Pawlenty", and McCain will just forget that he even picked her. He barely knows where he is most of the time anyways.

Book banning is also a favorite conservative pastime so that should get her lots of support.

THIS is the best the Machiavelli's of Mayberry can come up with?

I would say the obvious--but I don't want to jinx it.

The old hands you would normally pick are all too corrupt and too responsible for driving the country into a ditch.

But what kind of second-rate toadies and sleazy ratfuckers are left in the party after eight years of Republican-made disaster? In many ways, Palin is the best they had.
