Does this guy look like someone that would abuse his wife's office?

Okay, Sarah isn’t a pope and Todd isn’t her nephew and she didn’t actually give him a job, but …

The Anchorage Daily News swiped an MSNBC story and I am swiping their version …

Palin e-mails reveal a powerful ‘first dude’

Link: msnbc.com E-mails obtained from the state of Alaska under public records law show that Todd Palin was deeply involved in state business while his wife was governor. Copies of about 1,200 e-mails — some sent on private accounts — show that he was “involved in a judicial appointment, monitored contract negotiations with public employee unions, received background checks on a corporate CEO, added his approval or disapproval to state board appointments, and passed financial information marked ‘confidential’ from his oil company employer to a state attorney,” writes msnbc.com’s Bill Dedman. The released e-mails also expose “behind-the-scenes preoccupations of the Palins,” including family travel on state money, a tanning bed at the Governor’s Mansion in Juneau and a Daily News gossip column. The state withheld 243 other e-mails from msnbc.com, claiming that Todd Palin was covered by executive privilege rules, but subject lines reveal his further involvement in state business.

One thing is for sure, this won’t change a single mind of the Palin worshipers, after all, the mensfolk sposed to be in charge.

Good gawdess Border, what a tale! Sounds like he did more work than she did. That many emails in what, 2.5 years? Oh, the Brunker guy is on Ed at the moment.

Your photo caption really made me think … how much rope do we give people that look harmless?

One of the Plain worshipers at the Tea Party Convention, Lisa Mei, a country singer, performed a series of songs she wrote about the tea party movement. One song was exclusively about Palin.

The lyrics included:

Sarah Palin is a woman we love. . . . She’s a pit bull with lipstick and a real beauty queen.

Sarah Palin, for change you won’t regret . . .

She’s the kinda leader this country’s gonna need to undo all the damage this administration did. . . . A shining light on the right the left just doesn’t get.
