Is Todd Palin a mute? Why doesn't he ever talk?

[melonkali]

What kind of guy is he, anyway?

1. Tawwwwd The Suitcase Pimp

[Tutonic]

5. He talked to Gretta (blech) and probably got himself in trouble

Bragging about "building his house himself with contractor buddies" (um....like the ones who were building that monstrosity of an overblown sports complex down the road with "redistributed" taxpayer funds?)

6. Mr. Pailin sounds like an Irish tenor. He may be the "first dude" and

the "snow machine champion," but he doesn't possess the baritone voice that fits his image.

I heard a clip of his voice on Minnesota Public Radio.

[Lerkfish]

9. hmm. are you saying Tenors are unmanly?

personally, I was a bass before neck surgery, but I have respect for Tenors: that is a tough part to sing.

[mediaman007]

15. I suspect that traveling in the McCain/Palin circles, a baritone/bass voice

would be more cherished.

Personally, its the concept, not the voice.

24. LOL -- Imagine him in the Monty Python "I'm a Lumberjack" song

Which was performed, coincidentally, by Python's Michael PALIN!

7. The only thing Sarah lets Todd do on the campaign trail

is show up, smile and wave. She likes 'em big and stupid, ya know. :evilgrin:

[lpbk2713]

8. I believe it was Mark Twain who said it ....

"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."


I mean after all .... how bright can this clown be if he married Sarah Failin'?

[earth mom]

10. If Todd opens his mouth, people are gonna find out that he really runs the show.

That or he will out himself for the redneck he is. :puke:

[Kahuna]

11. I've never heard his voice. I'm beginning to wonder what the deal is

with him not speaking in public.

[devilgrrl]

12. He's emasculated.

:popcorn:

[arthritisR_US]

13. he hasn't been given permission to speak from the moose demon. n/t

[MiniMe]

14. He isn't the one running

[Blue Diadem]

18. There was a post on DU a while back about him saying he was happy to be part of the ticket.

With his history of being so involved in the Governorship of Alaska, he probably thinks he is part of the ticket.

[pnwmom]

16. Because someone might ask him who those contractor "buddies" were who "helped"

him build his half million dollar house.

(That was from a radio interview that the McCain campaign probably regrets.)

[bridgit]

17. He's the silent partner

[plaintiff]

19. SBD

or maybe he just never has gotten around to EXhaling...
:shrug:

[Catshrink]

20. He's a ventriloquist and Sarah is his puppet.

I won't mention where his hand is. :puke:

[raysr]

21. Palin has made him

a pretty cushy life.

[Overseas]

22. If he talked, we would ask about his secessionist party membership.

He quit in 2002, but til then did he want Alaska to secede?

And then we might ask what he was going participating in Alaskan government business when he wasn't elected to do so.

[Blue Diadem]

23. Here's a link to him introducing Coleman.

Scroll down for video of his introduction speech.

[ogneopasno]

25. He spoke here in Minnesota.

For, like, three minutes. He's a terrible public speaker.

[LatteLibertine]

26. Todd definitely has a lot of influence over Sarah

If she were elected he'd be "helping" her.

[Liberal In Texas]

27. He's probably dumb as a post, and they don't want him talking much.

[road2000]

28. Apostrophe is backwards

on all those Norm '08 signs. Morons.

Edited to add: I'd never heard him, either. His voice sounds a little like Pat Buchanan's.

[TankLV]

29. All the blood is going to his other head - that's all he's aparently good for...

soon to a PUBLICLY FUNDED HOSPITAL near you: Zamboni palin...

[FM Arouet666]

31. Dude. Like it is so cool to be the first Dude........

So dude, is like the VP's husband the second dude, or what? Can I like make laws in the senate too? Me and the Sarahcudda going to have a great time in the white house. DUDE...

McCain campaign note: Under no circumstances is Todd, otherwise known as "The Dude" allowed to open his mouth.
