I found it first with the following intro:
"Basically, Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton have only 2 things in common: their gender and their good looks.
I read this line and really couldn't shake that someone out there considers Hillary Clinton "good looking."
But, in any event, how did I originally come across it? Leo Laporte is pushing it as factual via his Twitter account. Do a google search -- it's everywhere (and multiplying).
Wow touched your soft spot did she? Makes me proud, you and three other people can vote for Barr.
Wonder what connection Ms. Kilkenny has to the highly respected town librarian?
If any. Just wondering.
Those 80-percenters are just mind-numbed robots of the military-industrial-oil-Halliburton complex.
They are easy to recognize.
They look bitter and are fiercely clinging to their guns and Bibles.
And Princess Di all rolled up into one!
Oh, and NO books were censored or banned:
"Were any books censored [or] banned? June Pinell-Stephens, chairwoman of the Alaska Library Association's Intellectual Freedom Committee since 1984, checked her files Wednesday and came up empty-handed.
Pinell-Stephens also had no record of any phone conversations with Emmons about the issue back then." source: Anchorage Daily News. (this link is not from friendly media either).
Here is one link to a blog that confirms much of this. I am sure we will hear more from the majority of the sane residents of Wasilla who can "out" Ms. Kilkenny as the radical Berkeley liberal hack that she is.
I was curious if you saw any of this. The Kilkenny email came to a co-worker today who asked me about it so I did a little digging.

“Don’t you think her opponents would have used this against years ago?”
I was thinking the same thing - except from her run for Governor two years ago. You would think that an incumbent Governor, and a former Governor, would have had the resources and balls to go after Sarah hard. In fact, I imagine they did.
Typical Lib BS, they are every where, and when beat get really nasty
I got this e mail today too.
Look straight ahead and ignore theses people. The idea is to depress you so that ZerObama wins.
Thick skin folks and ignore the peddlers of foul gossip.
And the press found one, or it looks like she found them or whatever, no real big surprise.
I appreciate your posting of enemy intelligence, like Patton reading Rommel we need to know what they are up to for victory.
I know that is not your intent of course...
Thank G-d for Free Republic, where I checked first to see if there was anything posted about this (which as we can see, there was).
As well, a buddy just sent me (breathlessly, I imagine!) a copy of the infamous Palin "bikini and gun" photo, of which I found a good refutation in the Top 7 Myths, Lies and Untruths About Sarah Palin thread.
Future of fund is now - CONFERENCE: Fairbanks gathering seeks to answer governor’s questions.
Anchorage Daily News (AK) - February 8, 2004

Another “average Alaskan” in the mix of 55 will be Anne Kilkenny , 54, of Wasilla, who described herself as a “reasonably well-informed housewife” in her self-nominating letter.
“I don’t really care too much to hear the fancy credentials of the other delegates,” she said. “I care more what they have to say.”
Mike Burns of Anchorage, the former KeyBank president who helped choose the delegates, said Kilkenny wrote her way to Fairbanks.
“If you are only looking for big names and powerful people to serve on the Conference, then you can stop reading here; that’s not me,” she wrote.
Long active in local school issues, Kilkenny says her views have been affected by her experience living on a fixed income since her husband, a union carpenter, developed leukemia, now in remission, and had to stop working.
“It made me more understanding of the fear and panic I see in older people’s eyes any time prices go up,” she said.
Kilkenny isn’t afraid to talk about taxes. She says citizens have a responsibility to support government in exchange for privileges like the dividend. She is concerned that taxes be fair.
Take the $100-per-worker head tax floated by the governor. A 23-year resident, Kilkenny recalls deducting the old across-the-board school tax from slime line workers’ checks when she was a cannery bookkeeper, sometimes leaving young people without a paycheck for their first day’s work. Cutting the dividends, she said, would be a regressive tax, meaning one that hurts poor people more than the rich.
In other ways, Kilkenny may not seem quite the average Alaskan. There is, for instance, her university 099999degree from Berkeley, not to mention the grammatical deployment of a semicolon in her nominating letter. And there is her expression of bafflement at the continued re-election of her state representative, Republican Vic Kohring, a leading proponent of shrunken government.
Still, if Murkowski were hand-picking people who agreed with him, Kilkenny would probably not have made the cut. Burns and the six other conveners were chosen by Murkowski, but said the governor’s office kept out of the delegate selection process.

Well SNOPES is not exactly an unknown blog site and people are permitted to have their own opinions that don’t mesh perfectly with the majority of readers here. If it will help clarify things, I do have one more website which talks about the subject but I hold it in lower regard than SNOPES so I don’t know what you will think of it’s credibility! ;-)
