Does Sarah's husband TODD PALIN have too much power? Many say YES
There have been rumors circulating about Sarah. Now with this National Enquirer story, maybe some information about her abuses of power or some other scandal will come to light. Here are a few paragraphs. Read the story here:

Shadow Governor?

In the aftermath of the Walt Monegan firing, one question keeps surfacing over and over again; why does the governor's husband, Todd Palin appear to hold so much power?

After all, Nancy Murkowski or Susan Knowles were never accused of pressuring a commissioner or inappropriately sitting in on meetings that should have been private.

The stories started last year when Representative Ralph Samuels told me about going into a meeting, he thought would be private, with Governor Sarah Palin. Much to his surprise, Todd Palin was there and proceeded to sit through the entire meeting.

Other lawmakers have shared similar stories and were shocked at how inappropriate Todd's presence was at meetings with the governor. Yesterday on the Dan Fagan Show, Representative Jay Ramras mentioned that Todd was working lawmakers offices during the ACES debate.

But more importantly, Todd's fingerprints on trying to impact personnel decisions appear to go beyond the current scandal revolving around State Trooper Mike Wooten.

1. I can't believe there aren't any comments or recommendations
This could be another huge scandal.

2. Ralph Samuels, Jay Ramras and especially Dan Fagan,

who is a fat fuck local Rush Limbaugh wannabee, have hated Sarah Palin from the beginning because she's not "Republican" enough for them (if you can believe that). I'm not defending Sarah, but don't take these clowns seriously.

ed. Oh, and I just noticed that's Andrew Halcro's blog. Andy ran as an independent for governor against Sarah in 2006 and has never quite gotten over her victory.

This folks are all very biased. Again, I'm not standing up for Sarah, but these guys do have an agenda.

4. They may have an agenda

But who gives a rip if you have FACTS behind that agenda.

Facts will take down the best laid plans of mice, men AND women.

Sarah's card pile of the VP could come tumbling down. PLUS she will get in TROUBLE back home. Once she gets in TROUBLE, she will NEVER again be a thorn in the side of the Democrats. She will be finished!!!

5. Oh, she WILL be in trouble when she comes home, no doubt.
The Democrats, who have by and large been supportive of at least her energy policies, are going to be mighty disappointed at the way she so quickly shoved aside her "bipartisanship" to become an attack dog. And she still has that little Troopergate matter that her administration has been stonewalling on. I'm sure it was flattering for her to be offered this shot at the national spotlight, but I think she will come to regret it. She had it good here.

3. maybe she doesn't get any unless she does what he says
well someone had to say it. And given my reading of her I'd say that'd be a powerful motivator for that woman, also since a stop at Good Vibes is right out because of all that morals stuff.

Todd Palin, shadow President. Secretly engineering a drastic increase in seafood consumption among the unsuspecting masses.
