"Dick Six-Pack"
Edited on Sun Oct-12-08 05:32 PM by kineta
Given his role as 'Shadow Governor' and the fact that he spends half his time at his wife's office carrying out personal business and vendettas.

It seems that he would be like Dick Cheney but with even LESS accountability. If that's possible. And he's certainly even stupider that Bush. So I dub him Dick Six-Pack or perhaps Cheney Six-Pack.

We also learn from the report that Todd Palin regularly sat in on Alaska's cabinet meetings, which, by the way, are not open to the public, as well as official discussions on the state budget, and that he appears to have been copied on hundreds of official e-mails as a matter of course. In addition, he has taken publicly-funded trips with state commissioners to inspect Alaskan mines and the proposed route for a new pipeline.

Todd Palin also appears to have lobbied Alaska state legislators on issues other than his former brother in law's continued employment. When Republican State Representative Jay Ramras, the chairman of the Alaska House Judiciary Committee, saw the Todd Palin outside the legislative chamber one day last year, "My colleagues told me he was lobbying for the governor's position on oil taxes." This made Ramras uncomfortable. "I think that when the spouse of an elected governor steps away from safe issues that are nonpartisan in nature," he said, "that it is bad for the legislative and executive branches, and Todd Palin would not be an exception to that."
