PALIN HAS A LIST OF BANNED MEDIA

Moral Minority - Today was the last day of Sarah Palin's book tour.

And it was to be held in the "picturesque" town of Wasilla, at the Curtis C. Menard Memorial Sports Center.

Dennis Zaki and I loaded up his car and headed out to cover this historic event. . .

When we arrived at the Sports Center we were somewhat surprised at the size of the place and that the parking lot was almost completely full.

"Wow I guess she does still have a lot of fans out here!" I exclaimed.

. . . Once inside we were quickly directed to check in with the person in charge of media. . . My first hint that something may be wrong down in Who-ville was when I was asked for my ID, not once, but twice. Then as Dennis and I were about to sign in, and the lady behind the desk took our picture with a little digital camera. . .

Almost as soon as I had my picture taken I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I turned around and came face to face with a local police officer who quickly apologized and then informed me that I was on the "banned list".

"I am on the what list?" I asked.

"The banned list sir, I am going to have to escort you off of the property. This is a private event."

I looked over and saw Dennis talking to somebody else, and clearly receiving the same information.

On my way toward the door I stopped to wait for Dennis so that we could leave together, however the police officer again placed his hand on my shoulder and insisted that I continue on toward the exit. They clearly were under orders to get me off of the premises as quickly as possible.

. . . Another reporter headed toward the entrance overheard us and asked us if there were really a "banned list". "Yes there is, and we are on it" was our reply. "I have never heard of that!" she said. Welcome to Sarah Palin's Wasilla.

As my McKafee warning blocked the screen, I noticed that the site was called the "Immoral Minority" v. the Moral Minority.
