Todd Palin Aborts The Iron Dog
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Todd Palin, the husband of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and his partner have pulled out of what is dubbed the world's longest snowmobile race. Todd Palin is a four-time winner of the 2,000-mile Iron Dog. The Anchorage Daily News says Palin's partner, Scott Davis of Soldotna, was injured about 30 miles beyond the Puntilla Lake checkpoint in the Alaska Range. The two were on their way back to the checkpoint. The extent of Davis' injury was not immediately known. The race from Big Lake to Nome and Fairbanks started Sunday with 29 two-man teams. Before the start, racers were bemoaning Alaska's warmer-than-usual temperatures. Veteran racer Tyson Johnson says trail conditions are not good, with dirt and no snow in some portions of the trail.
Turns out Sarah Palin is just an idiot magnet. She attracted the old-man-war-robot John McCain and now it is clear that her unemployed husband Todd has given up on the easiest race ever created. This thing isn't the Iditorod or the New York Marathon where you have to do a shit ton of work in a harsh climate. We're talking about a race where you get on a machine and press the gas pedal until you cross the finish line. And he quit. C'mon you can't quit, what do you think this is, the Alaskan Governorship?
And you know that Todd really wanted to blame this loss on global warming and the fact that there wasn't any snow in Alaska but that kinda contradicts the whole "global warming is a conspiracy" theory that the Palins have been running with.
If you can't tell, I know that global warming is real. Unlike Tits McGhee here.
