Best. Sentence. Ever.
From the NYT's profile of Palin's stint as Mayor of Reno 911, it's hard to find a pithier example of the intersection of evangelical politics, blissful ignorance, and old-fashioned conservative contempt for America:
Shortly after becoming mayor, former city officials and Wasilla residents said, Ms. Palin approached the town librarian about the possibility of banning some books, though she never followed through and it was unclear which books or passages were in question.
Update: I am enjoying this whole thing way too much.

Runner-up sentence, for those who try to look you in the eye with a straight face and say she has more experience than Obama:
She was returned to office by a large margin, 826 votes to 255.
I literally received more votes when I ran for student body president in college.
Am I allowed to ask O'Melveny DC at my interview Thursday what went wrong? McCain hired them to vet her.
Not sure what they did with the money though.
as i understand it, the argument is that she has more executive experience than obama: she's handled budgets, vetoed legislation, initiated executive reform, and so on.
!:23,
Please do. But only if you feel like it's not going well. Let me know what you learn.
I like that. It's like she had a feeling, "You know, I really ought to ban some books." But, having never read one, she wasn't quite sure where to go from there.
826 votes? I received more votes than that when I ran for (and won, BOOMSHAKALAKA!) Student Body Pres in High School.
A friend just sent me Colbert:
Cindy McCain: "Remember, Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia [which means she has foreign policy experience]"
Colbert: "Yes! Not only is Alaska America's closest point to Russia, Alaska has Mount McKinley which makes it America's closest point to space... so that means she has space policy experience."
I got more than 826 votes losing the race for Student Body President in high school.
To 1:23am, O'Melveny didn't do the vetting. A.B. Culvahouse was in charge of the selection committee, but not in his capacity with the firm. Maybe he's changing parties and this was his way of always being on the winning side?
that audio clip is hilarious.
