NYT: You know, Todd Palin just might have some influence with his wife!

As Tom asks, “does the NYT read its own paper without laughing?”  From Just One Minute:

The NY Times pries into the role played by First Dude Todd Palin up in the Great North and comes away with this:

It is not necessarily clear whether Mr. Palin is helping shape his wife’s agenda or simply advocating for it, nor whether he ever put pressure on lawmakers, but his role has not been the customary one of a governor’s spouse in Alaska.

That has made many people in government uncomfortable and often confused over how to react.

The editors may have forgotten but the Times endorsed Hillary Clinton in the NY primary. As they also may have forgotten, the possible role in a Hillary Administration of the former President turned First Spouse had everyone scratching their heads about the Wild Bill question.

Did the Hag freak out when Hillary tried having influence in Bubba’s administration?  Did they forget that Gov. Palin isn’t going to be the president, but the vice-president?  Do the queerbaits at the NYT not understand that true marriages (and not the corporate arrangement that the Clintons have) are those where spouses are allowed to voice their opinions about things, regardless of whether or not the other spouse heeds the advice?

It seems, on that last question, that the Hag is cool with influential liberal spouses, but not supposedly influential conservative spouses.  Do you think the MSM would freak out if Maria Shriver had an influential role in the Governator’s policies?  Somehow, I doubt it.

Nope…no liberal media bias!
