Todd Palin At Home In Esquire's "How To Be A Man" Issue (VIDEO)

For the most part, Todd Palin has managed to stay out of the spotlight--but now Esquire will publish a rare profile of the state's First Dude, along with original photographs of the father of five at home, putzing around the kitchen and kicking back in his socks. The article, "Todd Palin Is the Man for America Now," will appear in the magazine's May "How to Be a Man" issue, on newsstands April 14th.

Here's a video that previews a few of the photos:

Oh my- with all the press Todd is getting, maybe HE"S the one gearing up for office in 2012!! Or even 2010? Maybe running for his wife's seat, while she shoots for POTUS? YIKES!!

Todd, Todd, Todd - You're a clod, clod, clod.

Does he have his stinky feet propped up on the kitchen counter?? Paging Angie Harmon: is this what you mean by this party having class?

[piquet]

...ouch. Good roundhouse kick.

After all, it is April Fools Day! Alaskans are so ready to get rid of this ship of fools! United We Stand, Divided We Fall - Alaskans are ready to put this Governor and her hubby out in the Hall...of shame!

Let's talk what a "real" man is......yesterday at the dentist I asked a worker there if her son played sports, just a conversational opener. No, he doesn't. Turns out he's in the gifted education program, plays the piano, does Boy Scouts and loves his weekend science classes at the local university. He will probably grow up to be an engineer or robotics specialist. He participates in community service in the Scouts. The local dads participate with their sons. They take field trips and learn about history, go to camp, learn outdoor survival and respect for nature.
Group sports for grade school kids do not use his highest skills, so he doesn't participate. Maybe later he'll do cross country running or "crew". I live in a "red" state, so it's unlikely this is a Dem. family. That's beside the point.
It takes more than brute strength, or participating in macho sports to be a "real man". Men come in all sizes and talents. Integrity, intelligence and willingness to make sacrifices for the greater good are traits we should celebrate. not an anti-intellectual opportunist.

Is Esquire for REAL? The mere FACT thatTodd Palin was an actual card-carrying member of the AIP until recently, a "gang" which advocated violent secession from the United States ALONE says that he should NOT be highlighted in ANY articles as some type of "good standard".

The leader of this AIP party, Joe Vogler, blew himself up and was killed while trying to make explosives for this revolution. He also went on record as saying "God damn America, and how much he hates, and did not wish to be a part of America. Take your opague glasses off. NO ONE IN AMERICA ARE TOO KEENE ON ANYONE WHO DOESN'T WISH TO BE A PART OF THIS COUNTRY, and subscribe to violent revolutions to get away from it.

We have a lot more deserving REAL men in this country, who loves this country, and should be on the cover of this magazine, instead of someone who pledged violence to secede from it like Todd Palin. If Esquire think they can't find any, why don't you start with our military men. There is a plentiful supply... alive and dead. What a cold slap in their faces.

You do know that he registered with the AIP when Wally Hickel, the sitting Governor, was a member, right? And that the majority of AIP members are Native Alaskans? Why are you attacking Native Alaskans?

[Laura Mendoza]

Why does it matter who was governor when he was a member of a sessessionist party
HE WAS A MEMBER and sessesionism is their PLATFORM. When Palin accused Obama constantly on the campaign trail of "palling around with terrorists" the hypocrisy was laughable considering who she is married to.

Native Alaskans have nothing do do with it - you're just dodging the issue.

How to be a man? In the house I grew up in, the man went to work, and didn't ride on my mom's coat tails. The Palin's should steer clear of giving other's advice, don't cha think?

[colorofpolitics]

dang , brutal...

[abbeyroad]

i wonder if Lazy Boy Todd was wearing the silk undies that the GOP purchased for him while he was being interviewed about how to be a man.

[eden4barack08]

"Todd Palin Is the Man for America Now," What??? Is he running for something now?

What's Esquire trying to sell?

[NoblesseOblige]

Whatever it is, I hope they do what's best for us all and decide on a recall.

[HC4BO]

How to be a man ??? Ask Levi Johnston ... At least he had the cojones to skip out on a female Palin ...

Better Yet ... Ask mAnn Coulter ... Her name says it all ...

[clearlythinking]

Maybe he can give us parenting advice too.
