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.

    What is being said here?

    This article is convoluted and opaque. Just what point is being made here, I don’t see one. Is this gossip? The writer hasn’t proved any influence that, and this is an incredulous term, “the first dude” has over Governor Palin’s work. This article is a waste of space that is meaningless and therefore should have never been published. Read it once more if you don’t believe me.
