Veep hopeful Sarah Palin has a weird record when it comes to things known about her. Almost makes one understand why she’s staying out of the public eye so much. (Well that and her ability to absolutely fail in interviews to answer questions with anything but answers she’s already had prepped for her.)
But now here’s another little feather in her cap of religious right-wing self-righteousness:
The New York Times reports that as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, Palin complained to colleagues about a book called “Daddy’s Roommate,” described in promotional material as being “for and about the children of lesbian and gay parents.”
Laura Chase, who ran Palin’s campaign for mayor, explained that the book was harmless and suggested Palin read it.
Chase told the New York Times that Palin replied she “didn’t need to read that stuff. It was disturbing that someone would be willing to remove a book from the library and she didn’t even read it.”
Later, as mayor, Palin reportedly asked the town’s librarian three times whether she would agree to remove controversial books from the shelves. Three times, the librarian refused. Palin fired her, but eventually bowed to public pressure and gave the woman her job back.
Sarah, you know, if you’re worried about your kids reading books you think they shouldn’t, maybe it’s your job as a parent to keep them from reading them. I could attempt to make other comments on your parenting versus how you’d like everyone else to raise their children… but I’ll leave that alone.
For now I’ll just stick to hoping that America is better than to put this woman anywhere near the White House. And then I’ll let you watch this video.
