The story of Franci Havemeister, for instance, turned out to be much more instructive than what appeared in the paper. Not only did she love cows as a child, she married into a farming family that depended on a state-owned dairy for its livelihood — a dairy that was one of the responsibilities of her new office. Before her appointment, the board that oversaw the money-losing dairy recommended closing it. Palin fired the board and appointed a new one, including Havemeister, a childhood friend. Havemeister then applied to be agriculture director. Shortly after she took office, the dairy’s losses accelerated — $300,000 in July of last year alone — and it was finally closed.

Worth the read. Sunday the 14th's front page piece on Palin came off to many as a hit job. The full story was actually far worse.
