I thought that all of the jokes and references to Governor Sarah Palin having the "sexy librarian" look were inappropriate for political commentary. But it seems that the Alaska Governor does have a fiery relationship with books:

Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." The librarian, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire her for not giving "full support" to the mayor.
