The First Dude Speaks
Josh reports on the front page that Todd Palin gave a deposition on the 'Troopergate' affair (which was promptly leaked by his lawyer). An interesting paragraph from the Anchorage Daily News:
"In his statement, Palin is unapologetic about his efforts to get Wooten fired, but he says he doesn't think those efforts had anything to do with Monegan's dismissal. He said his understanding is that Monegan lost his job due to a 'dispute with the governor and her staff over budget issues and failure to fill trooper vacancies.'"
He refers to the governor as if he doesn't even know her, rather than being her husband.
Todd Palin also says that there was bad blood between Governor Palin and Monegan because he didn't always provide a state trooper airplane for her to use as often as she wanted.
Maybe she shouldn't have put the governor's plane on EBay?

"He refers to the governor as if he doesn't even know her, rather than being her husband."
But in an article in Huffpost he says he and Sarah are very 'close' and that they are 'best friends'. He has been referred to as a 'shadow' governor for sitting in on her meetings of state business. But then he wants us to believe that she knew nothing about and had nothing to do with his efforts to get Wooten fired.
Seems like a cover up attempt to me.
