AlaskaReport.com reported on Saturday that Sarah Palin was divorcing from her husband Todd. The report stated that at Sarah's governor farewell speech last weekend, she didn't speak to Todd and hustled out of the venue without him. Alaska Report sources had stated that weeks before, Sarah had stopped wearing her wedding band, and other reports suggested that she had purchased land in Montana and was moving there, possibly without Todd. Why Sarah Palin's First Dude Drives Women Wild

I smell some sour grapes...

Gawker's got a video clip of comedian Dennis Miller on Bill O'Reilly espousing a unique post-election theory: liberal women are jealous of Sarah Palin because she's got a better sex life than they do. 

After proclaiming her a great "dame" (um, that's Madam Governor to you, Dennis), the comedian announces, "I think she has non-neurotic sex with that Todd Palin guy!"

Oh, Todd.  That beard!  Those tracksuits! The snowmobile riding!

The Alaskan First Dude doesn't do it for me, personally, but I could see how women who are into "manly-men" might want to shove … Read More

Type "First Dude" into Google, and you'll find, as I did, various sites hawking buttons, T-shirts, and bumper stickers emblazoned with "One Smoking Hot First Dude," "Todd's Babe," and "I'm voting for Todd!"

The last time we saw such a hormone-induced uproar over a political spouse was Dennis Kucinich's smoking-hot wife, Elizabeth. He gave scrappy, diminutive men everywhere a glimmer of hope. 

The hope baton has been passed to driven, powerful, alpha females. The ones who have been so unlucky in love, never able to keep a man. Outwardly, to her friends, she blames her time-starved, career-driven schedule ("I … Read More

SARAH HEATH PALIN AND TODD PALIN

Married since: 1988 Family album: Five children, one already-famous grandchild due in December

Shortly after Sarah Palin, Republican Vice-Presidential candidate, became governor of Alaska in 2006, her husband, Todd, became known not as First Gentleman, but as "First Dude." It's a term they both embrace. Alaska, and the Palin household, it seems, is a place for dudes rather than gentlemen. Caribou is a staple in the Palin diet, after all.

This salt-of-the-earth duo, who eloped to an Alaska courthouse in 1988, can be counted on to get things done, … Read More

Groan. The National Enquirer is at it again. They've alleged that Sarah Palin, hockey mom, governor of Alaska, soon-to-be mother in-law to a teenager, and GOP vice presidential candidate had an affair. "What else can go wrong with this crazy family?" is a natural reaction. But after the National Enquirer chased down Johnny Hairdo's (John Edwards) mistress they started gaining a bit of credibility. Words we never thought we'd mention, but what can you do? It's like after the wolf eats a few sheep you almost have to start listening when the shepherd cries "aye de mi, un lobo." … Read More

Check it out: Huffington Post has a photo gallery and a bio of Sarah Palin, John McCain's newly anointed VP running mate. She's a former beauty queen who is currently serving her first term as governor of Alaska.

We'll learn more about Palin's marriage in a Tango feature next month, so for now we'll present some fact and speculation based on HuffPo's post.

Fact: Palin married her high school sweetheart, Todd, and the two danced together at the Alaska Governor's Inaugural Ball this past January.

Speculation: As they were dancing Palin whispered, "Honey, that's … Read More
