Is Todd Palin still employed by BP? anyone know?

I am wondering if he will still have that job, now that his wife is no longer the governor. Supposedly, it was a "part-time" job. It probably came with benefits, but I was wondering today how that big family, with a special needs child would manage their health care premiums, now that she's no longer on the state dole.

I'm sure she's eligible for COBRA, but that runs out eventually, and being an "author" and ex-governor is no guarantee that they'll be all that happy with the premium costs for insurance...bought on the private market..

1. pretty sure he's a "kept man".

Seems to be useless for just about anything else, anyways.

5. A "kept man" because his wife earns more than he does? God,I thought

that kind of thinking was a thing of the past.

9. In Todd's case he's too "busy" to have full time work

He likes to play..

2. I think they hire him occasionally as a drill bit

He doesn't seem to be too ambitious.

3. They'll live on speaking fees. Money won't be a problem for them.

4. One serious ailment can wipe a family out.. even one with money

I have a feeling that her star will dim as time passes, so she better start saving that money she;s getting from the book:)

8. Just needs to pay for insurance

She just needs to pay for insurance. Being Republican, I suppose she won't mind getting ripped off.
