The New Republic

Perhaps it's me, but this seems like something Greta Van Susteren probably ought to have disclosed at some point in her ongoing, on-air hagiography of Sarah Palin:

[John] Coale, a well-known Washington lawyer and the husband of Fox News
Channel's Greta Van Susteren, drew national media attention when he endorsed Sen. John McCain's presidential bid in protest of the way in which Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton,
who he backed in the primary, was treated. Coale, in an interview with
the Fix, described himself simply as a "friend" of the Alaska governor
but acknowledged that he suggested she start a leadership PAC and
helped her navigate through some of the questions surrounding her
family that lingered after the campaign. Others familiar with Palin's
political team insist that Coale has far more power than he is letting
on -- essentially helping to run Sarah PAC. Coale demurred on that
front, noting only that he talks to Palin regularly and that she is a
"fascinating person" who is "definitely not what the right thinks or
the left thinks."
