Todd Palin has exerted unusual influence on his wife's Alaska government. In Washington, their methods would do Bush and Cheney proud.

    eh

    Look. Husbands and wives talk. The role of "first spouse" is ambiguous. And, no one really knows what to do when the "first lady" is adude.

    Do I think Palin got where she is because of her husband? Nope.

    Do I think Todd Palin should be sitting in on meetings? Ummmm .... no. No one elected him to anything.

    But on my "Things Wrong With Sarah Palin" list, this doesn't even break the top 10.
