Todd Palin resigns from oil job
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- The husband of former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has quit his oil field job on the North Slope.

Todd Palin's resignation as a production operator for oil giant BP PLC comes almost two months after his wife stepped down as Alaska governor and shortly before the release of her highly anticipated memoir.

BP spokesman Steve Rinehart says Todd Palin's resignation was effective Sept. 18.

Meghan Stapleton, Sarah Palin's personal spokeswoman, says Todd Palin hopes to return to his union job and for now is spending time with his family.

11. Except that the Beverly Hillbillies usually had far more common
sense than the "city slickers."

Not a good comparison. Todd Palin couldn't hold a candle to Jed Clampett's mountain wisdom.

7. The whole "union job" thing was a sham from the beginning
Palin could not be more anti-union.

Seriously...was anything about the Palin true--when they were running for office?

The daughter's upcoming marriage was a lie and a sham.

Todd's "regular" job was a front too.

Foolish backwards goofballs with money and all the time in the world--because they don't have jobs...this should be interesting.

White House?

18. I see lots of tacky purchases in their immediate future.
And one other prediction: One day they will file for bankruptcy.

23. His Union job? hmm, first time I'd heard that one. How come he didn't pull himself
up by his own bootstraps and needed a socialist type union to make his job better?

28. Not really serious about this, but it's so much fun to imagine what might be going on...
If the rumors about divorce are true, can Todd be setting himself up to be in a position to receive alimony?

31. Tawwwwd's job was never mush of a job anyway. Part time oil man
part time fisherman, part time snow machiner, part time everything. The BP job was probably "connected" to Sarah's governorship anyway.,
