The McCain campaign and other Republicans have been touting Sarah Palin as ready to be vice-president of the United States of America because of her "executive experience" as mayor of a small town in Alaska and governor of a state with as many people as live in Austin, Texas. Now we're learning something about Sarah Palin's executive experience, and as one blogger points out, it looks like the kind of experience Bush Republicans should welcome. Remember how those inexperienced folks were sent to Iraq to rebuild a country--and their only qualification was party loyalty? Remember the Republican DA's dismissed because they didn't quite toe the far-right conservative line? Remember those DA's hired because they DID?
Well, it seems that Mayor Sarah Palin of Wasilla, Alaska, also fired city employees she "believed in her heart" were not loyal enough to her. She was hostile to open government, requiring city employees not to talk to the local press. The picture of John McCain's pick for vice-president is beginning to focus, and it looks alarmingly like what we have seen already.
