Maybe I'm crazy for thinking the TRUTH matters in a political

The list of books is certainly false, but apparently Ms Palin did try to
get some books removed from the library and threatened to fire the
librarian when she didn't cooperate.

Don't want no book burner in no White House!

I don't know. The Time article could only state hearsay on the topic
of the threat to fire, and could not even site the "news reports" that
they carelessy alluded to. That said, the list of titles was the most
imflammatory aspect of the original story, a complete fabrication
which is a typical and disgusting tool of unscrupulous politics on
either side. Also, while I most definitely disagree with removing
books from the library, I think it's a bit of a leap to call Sarah
Palin a book burner. (I do realize that your use of the term was
"tongue in cheek".)
