Somebody decides to interview Todd Palin about the table scrap his wife threw his way, narrating the Sportsman Channel's Iditarod coverage.

Look this is the job I got for you, so stop bitching and just do it!

This is from Breitbart so don't feel obligated to click the link if you don't want to.

I will provide all of Todd's girly voiced quotes here:

Palin is usually a behind-the-scenes guy. The supportive spouse. But he felt compelled to get the word out about the Iditarod. "I'll do whatever I can to promote this great race," Palin told Breitbart Sports. "I know some of the mushers and I know how much work it is to take part in it." (There are mushers living in Wasilla, and it is conceivable that Todd knows some of them, but I seriously doubt he knows muhc about the work that goes into their races.)

While not a camera hog by any stretch of the imagination, Palin enjoyed filming the special programming. "I don't like to watch myself on TV," said Palin. (We don't either.) "But this was a lot of fun."

The Palin family is no stranger to the iconic Iditarod. "They used to have the restart in Wasilla before they moved it to Willow for the more consistent snow," Palin said. "We watched for many years with the kids on snowmachines. It's a big event for all Alaskans."

While Palin is not a musher, he is a champion Iron Dog racer. His success in Alaska's other big race gives him a special appreciation for those who take part in the Iditarod. "Both are the ultimate," Palin said. "In certain stretches, you can actually go faster than a snowmachine when mushing with a dog team. They're so powerful, sometimes you're just hanging on." (Yes except for most consider the Iron Dog the race run by those without the cojones to run the much more challenging Iditarod.)

"The people involved in this are just like the Iron Dog family," Palin said. "A tight knit group that will help anyone, anyway they can."

Todd and Sarah Palin attended the Iditarod Mushers Banquet in Anchorage this year to show their support for the big race and all those who participate in it. (And by "Show their support" they mean receive a paycheck for making an appearance and talking about a sport that they know nothing about.)

"I'm just thankful that Sportsman Channel was excited to show the Iditarod and to come up here to share these ultimate races with the rest of the nation," said Palin.

The Iditarod is now over, and most people who wanted to watch the race, were able to do so either on news programs here in Alaska, where it was heavily covered. (Unlike the Iron Dog.) Or by purchasing Insider subscriptions which provided unfiltered access to the race. (And no high pitched voice clumsily describing things to them either.)

I have not yet heard how the Iditarod folks feel about a Palin being connected to their race, but I cannot imagine they are very happy about it.

After all virtually NOBODY wants to associate with the Palins anymore.

I think it is pretty clear that this gig is part of Palin's negotiation with the Sportsman Channel to employ her layabout family in some way along with her.

I imagine that Willow has been put in charge of her wig, and when Sarah flies down to Arizona to film her segments, Bristol will be standing by with her newly minted "skin school" diploma and a shovel full of spackling paste to fill in her craters.

After all the family that grifts together begrudgingly stays together.
