Update, Sept. 9: We have revised this section dealing with accusations
that Palin wanted to ban books from Wasilla's library to include more
detail about what transpired at the time.

The far left has nothing to complain about except that she doesn't believe what they do. They should do as they said during the election and stick to the issues.
Bush policy? Which one? There were 4. Palin talked about the last one the 4th one, Gibson was talking the 2nd one. So if anyone was stupid it was Gibson for not knowing the 3rd and 4th.
Newspapers she reads? Huh? To ask a VP presidential candidate such an irrelevant question was disgusting to begin with,, why didn't she ask about any issues? It was an insult, like people in Alaska don't read.... the VP is what ever and merely talking to child on their level doesn't cut the criticism jwtrotman claims...

While this "sliming" article seems BENT on DEFENDING moose mama, why didn't they report on obvious matters such as her NOT KNOWING THE NAME OF A NEWSPAPER SHE READS? THere is no mention of her not knowing what her republican president's "DOCTRINE" IS. No mention of knowledge by a governor of the second amendment of the US Constitution as it relates to the respopnsiblites of the US VP. No mention of foreign affairs knowledge as it related to her personal dealings with trade with Russia. HOW ABOUT TELLING TRUTHS ABOUT BOTH SIDES OF PALIN AND HER SO-CALLED "READINESS? Very digusting article!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the Associated Press said on September 3 that her kids are in public school? Then what are they doing following her around on the campaign trail? Not just Bristol, but the younger kids too? (Not the newborn, obviously). Bristol's boyfriend has dropped out of high school. Has Bristol dropped out too? I'm not trying to insult Palin, I really want to know.
