Personally, I don't have a problem with presidential or vice-presidential spouses having some input as long as it is open and above board. I do have a problem with hypocrisy. Does anyone remember the repub hysteria whenever Rosalyn Carter's or Hilary's fingernails even brushed the Oval Office door? Now, suddenly, it is OK! Todd Palin, oil-field worker, fisherman, snowmobile racer - thank God Sarah can depend on him! Why can't she be open about it if it so OK? Why is she claiming "executive privilege" regarding official government emails he was cc'd on?
I remember having a screaming argument with a rethug boss in a restaurant over his ire that Hilary would even be allowed in the Oval Office let alone actually consult on some issues she might know something about. "She wasn't elected!" he kept screaming. My, how that worm has turned . . .
Maybe I should look that old boss up and see how he feels about Todd Palin . . .
