He claims he is being singled out because his wife is the state's first woman governor. Nothing like playing the victim card. Nothing like avoiding the real question. Todd thinks this is about his wife's gender, when it is about him being in these meetings. He won't even address it.

What ever happened to the subpoena to court with him?
I think the creep was allowed to answer questions in written form....too scared to do it in person....

I hope the whole family just goes away after Nov. 4th.

Her husband being involved in government business is a betrayal of public trust and a breech of security.

I do feel some sympathy for her kids, but the manner in which she uses them as props is shameful.

Her pregnant teenage daughter has no reason to be be on stage with Palin at rallies. No reason to hide her in a closet but no reason to flaunt her either. Just leave the girl out of the spotlight during what has to be a difficult time for her!

Her 6 month old baby has no business being brought up on stage to be lifted up under bright lights late at night except for show.

And this week at a hockey game, Palin brought her little girl, Piper, out onto the rink waving and smiling while her mother was boo'ed by the crowd. What was she brought out there for in the first place? Then Palin with fake innocence says "I can't believe they boo'ed Piper." Crowds of strangers are not responsible for protecting the sensitivities of her children. She is.

Her children are being used by their own mother for political gain, IMO, instead of being kept out of the crossfire , which would be the priority of most responsible parents.

By the way, has anyone ever heard Todd speak? He is inappropriately involved to say the least, but is he mute?

Thanks for the update!

His silence is scary, to say the least. He obviously is interested in government, being in on things, and who knows what he will do if she is elected with McSame.

The family being put on a pedestal makes me sick.
It isn't fair to the kids, although living in the White House is not far from being royalty.
I would think she would shelter her family from the public eye.

I hope they go away too.

I wouldn't expect anything to come of it; he did cooperate in the end. But there's another matter of him receiving copies of the governor's e-mails that's being investigated.

This didn't come out of nowhere...it came from the people in Alaska government. Senate President (and Republican) Lyda Green has questioned this since Palin took office as governor.

Here are some reactions from Alaska lawmakers when Palin was nominated as VP:

The reaction wasn't so rosy elsewhere. State Senate President Lyda Green said she thought it was a joke when someone called her at 6 a.m. to give her the news.

"She's not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president?" said Green, a Republican from Palin's hometown of Wasilla. "Look at what she's done to this state. What would she do to the nation?
