Apologies in advance, but any time I see a news story that contains both the word "Palin" and the word "ass," you can be darn sure that it's going to make an appearance on this blog. And so it is today that we have the rather oddball story of Palin's husband Todd firing off angry e-mails at Alaska republican Senate candidate Joe Miller (link to full story at bottom).
Reportedly, Todd blew his stack when Miller recently dodged a question from Fox News asking Miller if Sarah Palin is qualified to be president. Todd apparently took offense to this since his wife had previously endorsed Miller during the GOP primary. In addition to the above-mentioned reference to his wife's ass, Todd's e-mails also rant and rave about Miller "not being able to answer a simple question" from Fox News and that this is not "how this endorsement stuff works."
But perhaps the zaniest thing from Todd's e-mails is when he explains that "Sarah spent all morning working on a Facebook post for you" (which Todd indicates was a wasted effort -- "she won't use it, not now"). Excuse me? All morning on a simple Facebook post? And Todd's really complaining about someone being unwilling to trumpet his wife's qualifications for president? I mean, say she got elected president and had to come up with a State of the Union address -- how long's that process going to take her? Six weeks at Camp David?
