Todd Palin, First Gentleman

Here’s a funny note on the airs that the Palin administration appears to have put on after coming into office.

Monegan’s secretary told Branchflower that she received a call in December 2006 from a Palin aide, asking to set up a meeting between Monegan and “the First Gentleman.”

“At that time.” said the secretary, “I was not familar with the term ‘First Gentleman’…so I kept asking her ‘who?’, and eventually she said, ‘Todd Palin,’ and I said, ‘oh okay.’”
