2. I'm confused....

Todd works for BP for 18 years..takes a leave of absence for 7 months prior to the election. Now he's a commercial fisherman, maybe still works for BP, takes care of 5 kids, and he helps out in the Governor's office?

Alaska's first gentleman has returned to work for BP on the North Slope.

Todd Palin took a leave of absence from the company in January and went back to work late last month, according to Sharon Leighow, a spokeswoman for Gov. Sarah Palin, Todd's wife.

Todd Palin took the leave to deal with a hectic schedule and help take care of the family's four children, Leighow said, and not because of any conflict of interest.

From Sean Cockerham in Anchorage --

It's not uncommon for Gov. Sarah Palin's husband, Todd, to be included on governor's office e-mails, a fact raising questions about how much influence the "First Dude" has in state government.

Tonight on KTUU Channel 2 News, former Commissioner of Public Safety Walt Monegan broke his silence and admitted that he was pressured on numerous occasions by Todd Palin to fire State Trooper Mike Wooten.

Monegan said he met with Palin numerous times to talk about Wooten as well as Frank Bailey from the governor's office and Commissioner of Administration Annete Krietzer who also pressured him to fire Wooten.

7. Now this is good...you might want to make this its own topic...

Is this guy Mr. Mom or a backup Governor? Wonder what lies in the back of his closet?

[SoCalDem]

9. and even Rachel is talking about the "plucky governor" who still gave a speech

after "her water broke".. it's the babies in the incubators all over again and Jessica Lynch..

They are CREATING this mythological person..

[GrpCaptMandrake]

17. Aw, damn!

Rachel's falling for it? Dern!

Wander over to the H.O.R.N. Independent, non-corporatized, liberal Conversation Radio.

[stillcool]

16. Doesn't he still work for BP?

and obviously he helps out in the Governor's office.

[Lucinda]

20. No source but I read earlier he was a stay at home dad now and fishes during salmon season

Someone said he was 20 years at his job before he left. I havent seen documentation though, just an Alaskan citizen posting info on one of the "internets" earlier today.

6. Until today I really didn't know anything about her,

but after reading about her, Helen Chenoweth comes to mind.

8. Lightweight. Unqualified. MICHAEL Palin is more qualified.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

18. That's why

I've been running Michael Palin clips. I much prefer him!

[Aristus]

10. Well, if nothing else, she proves it's possible to be a hottie and a nottie at the same time.

:popcorn::hide:

[frogmarch]

12. I know this is superficial, but

I hate pert and perky.

22. Neocon garbage.

[TankLV]

23. magnificent

knockers...!!!

[jmowreader]

24. Sweet person, until you understand the totality of her worldview

I have been told, by DUers, that Sarah Palin is, in person, a very nice lady.

Only when you get into the Feminists for Life and Fellowship of Christian Athletes links that you start to worry.

And that's what I'm worried about: the GOP will not tell you Sarah Palin holds these views. They WILL tell you she's a hockey mom.

25. well, i just posted this but

i think we need to take the emotion out of the son or grandson story and start thinking of it as insurance fraud.
