Sarah Palin Couldn't Run A Town of 9,000

This weekend, while the rest of America celebrates Labor Day Weekend (aside from the 5.7% of the workforce, 8.8 million Americans, who are currently unemployed and who are unable to celebrate having a job - or the day off that usually comes with the holiday), Democratic defenders of the Constitution have been working like little beavers, building a damn to stop the McCain-Palin ticket from flooding the country with four more years of mayhem.

What they've unearthed is alarming.

First, we we wrote on Friday and Saturday about Sarah Palin's growing brother-in-law scandal, where she tried to fire her ex-brohammer after he divorced her sister. That became a bigger mess when state officials who refused to do Palin's dirty work were themselves fired.

It turns out she has a history of doing things just like that.

A blog called Hat Thief dug through archives of the Anchorage Daily News to bring us word that while Palin was the mayor of little Wasilla, Alaska, she fired the chief of police and library director for allegedly not supporting Palin's re-election bid.

The former Wasilla Chief of Police, Irl Stambaugh, sued Palin for that very thing, but lost in court when the judge ruled Palin could fire him for any reason she wished.

Politico adds to the story by revealing the former library director was asked by Palin if she "could live with censorship of library books.” How soon after the librarian was fired, we're not sure. But if she's like any librarian's we know, she was probably fired immediately after replying to Palin's question with an Old English curse not heard in a thousand years.

A group of 60 residents of the town of 9,000 attempted to recall Palin as mayor and kick her out of office.

Probably adding to the reasons the citizens were unhappy with Palin was that she left the tiny town $20 million in debt.

Politico goes one with word that Palin refused to support McCain in the January primary, saying the 'none-of-the-above' box was more appealing than voting for McCain. We agree with her on that one.

The best headline of the weekend came from a blog called Reality Catcher, with their marvelous and spot on, Sarah Palin: Dick Cheney In A Dress piece.

There's more dirt being revealed, almost as we speak. She's against abortion, no matter the situation. She wants evolution taught in schools. She loves killing animals, something she learned from her parents, apparently, and is passing on to her children at an early age. She says humans aren't causing global warming. She has a horrible record on protecting the environment. Did we say she really loves killing animals? She was behind the Bigfoot scam, and she believes the Earth is flat. The last two might not be accurate, but we dare her to prove it.

To borrow a line from Obama's moving acceptance speech last Thursday, Enough is enough.

Palin clearly couldn't run a town of 9,000. She has no business being a failed heartbeat away from the Presidency. McCain's father and grandfather both died of heart attacks, and didn't live as long as McCain has already. So there's a very real threat that Palin could become president if McCain steals, er, "wins" the election.
