Todd spent more than 50% of his time in Sarah's office, using the phone

[pnwmom]

at her conference table, heavily involved in her day to day work activities. Other previous spouses did not do this, according to Officer Wheeler.

Pages 45-46, Legislative Council report.

[Matariki]

1. wonder what that means - 50%

12 hours a day?

[msongs]

2. todd palin is the real governor of alaska nt

[mediaman007]

3. He was the governor!

[ladywnch]

10. well that would stand to reason since during her mayoral stint

the city administrator was in charge and running things, not her. Wasilla had never had a city administrator before her or since. someone else has always done the work she was elected to do.

4. When Clinton was a governor, if Hilary had been on his phone

50% of the time, how do you think THAT would have been percieved...?

[Justice]

19. exactly - think about the criticism of Hillary for trying to fix heath care law when First Lady

the republicans shut that down and mock her that effort to this day.
Sarah Palin has done more to diminish the notion that a woman can stand on her own and be a governor or a president than any other one person ever.

5. And he had access to personnel files and conducted a meeting with

the Chief regarding the trooper. I wonder what his role in the WH would be.

[pnwmom]

6. He would be in charge of revenge phone calls. n/t

[gauguin57]

7. Oh, so THAT's where he was, when he was supposed to be at his $50K BP job.

... which a bunch of people have said he didn't show up for half the time.

First Dude? First Dipshit!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

8. So he had a do-nothing job for an oil company....

Would this be one of the same oil companies that Sarah claimed that she "stodd up to" while she was governor? How do you stand up to somebody who writing you checks every two weeks for work that you didn't do?

And is there some legalistic distinction between that and a bribe?

Clearly the Legislative Council in Alaska has more work to do.

9. "My Ole Lady Is The Governor. That Makes Me Governor too."

"And you people have to do whatever I say to do."

Paul Snyder would be proud.

[gauguin57]

11. WHO IS THE REAL TODD PALIN?

First Dude, or shadowy seditionist, treasonous traitor who pals around with secessionist terrorists???

We need an answer!

[pnwmom]

13. He is "all that." n/t

[gauguin57]

16. All that, and a bag of moose poop.

As Lisa and Mrs. Loopner would have said, "oooooh Taaaaahd"

[agentS]

17. Palin's KKKarl Rove

Palin's smart but not that astute. She's had help from behind the scenes and there's no doubt that First Dude is calling most of the shots.

[MattBaggins]

12. Do they spend any time at all raising their kids?

[RC]

15. No, one kid felt so neglected she got herself knocked up.

[gauguin57]

18. If she really did ... I'm still waiting for that "miracle miscarriage" right after the election ...

which will prove to me that the "Bristol is 5 months pregnant" story WAS just too conveeeeeenient. And that Bristol is Trig's mom.

And if she did get herself knocked up, it's probably because it runs in the family. Sarah was knocked up when she and Toddy Boy ran off and "eloped to save their parents the cost of a wedding" (yet another bogus bullet point in her trumped-up bio)

[City Lights]

14. This gives me the creeps.

As a citizen, the thought of him sitting in there with her "helping" her do her job, or doing it for her, or whatever the hell he was doing in there is disturbing. And it's even creepier when I think of how it must be for Sarah with Tawd looking over her shoulder half the time. Ick. (Maybe she's into this type of arrangement, but it's definitely not for me.) :puke:

I hope this tidbit makes it through - as Sarah would say - the media filter to the public. I suspect the thought of Tawd being co-veep will go over like a lead balloon.

[nyhuskyfan]

20. I question the legality of that

Todd Palin is not an employee of the state, yet he is using state resources, including phone lines.

I would think the Palins should be responsible for reimbursing the state for any personal phone calls Todd Palin made from his wife's office. Or perhaps it should be considered a taxable benefit.

21. Shadow Governor Dude was just taking advantage of his property rights in Sarah Palin. n/t
