Sarah Palin's powerful "First Dude"

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

    Direct quote from Mr. Palin

    "When blood is nipped and ways be foul,then nightly sings the staring owl;

    To-whit,to-whoo,a merry note while greasy Joan doth keel the pot".

    Of course he attributes it to "Love's Labour's Lost" and admits that he prefers John Lennon's "I am a walrus". He thinks the poem about the sperm-whale is atrocious and that Lewis Carroll's "The and Walrus and the Carpenter" is much better as Senator Rangels mustache is like that of a warlus and he's been gobbling oysters while walking on sunshine.
