“Todd Palin: ‘first dude’ or ‘shadow governor?’”

Andrew Halcro, who ran as an independent against Sarah Palin for governor in 2006 and is a critic of the Palins, wants to know why Todd Palin was being copied on state correspondence.

Halcro wrote a blog post about Todd Palin called “Shadow Governor” and says, “Todd plays the role as kind of the fixer.”

Okay, we’ve got Halcro, who hasn’t been exactly a real reliable source. Well, that’s not fair: he’s a very reliable source for innuendo and attacks. And CNN is calling Todd a “shadow governor”.

Hmmm.

Are they calling Bill Clinton a “shadow Senator”? No, they think it’s perfectly reasonable.

CNN has suddenly discovered that someone’s spouse may have an influence on their thinking?
