Yesterday, I read a lot of articles and blog posts about Sarah Palin. Somewhere in there I read that she couldn't be bothered with the more mundane every day tasks of managing the city of Wasilla when she was mayor so she hired a city manager to do it for her. She was the first mayor of Wasilla ever to do this. I thought mentioning this would be a perfect response to her line about a mayor being like a community organizer but with real responsibilities. I can't track down mention of it anywhere. Have you seen this? I think this is worth digging up and also pointing out that when she became mayor the town had zero debt, and when she ended her term it was over 20 million dollars in debt despite nearly 30 million dollars in federal earmarks.
