Joseph A. Palermo: I Just Saw Sarah Palin Snow a Willing Greta van Susteren
<p>Just minutes ago on Fox News I saw Sarah Palin tell Greta van Susteren that the rumors that she wanted to ban books in the local library while she was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska were false. Governor Palin said the charge was untrue because someone accused her of banning Harry Potter books and that would be impossible because “Harry Potter had not been written yet” when she was mayor. But Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasilla from 1996 to 2002 and there were additions to the Harry Potter series in that period. So the conclusion to be drawn here is either 1). Palin is lying about her attempt at book burning in Wasilla and trying to cover it up; or 2). Palin is so clueless about secular popular culture she is unaware of the time period of the publication of the books in the mega-hit Harry Potter series. Of course, van Susteren — dutiful Fox News Republican ventriloquist dummy she is — just let Palin’s assertion go by unchallenged. I just thought it was really weird. I guess Palin just lies even when she doesn’t have to or is really culturally challenged up there in the tundra. Did anybody else see this? </p> <p><br />
