Palin's Responses On Radio Talk Show Very Unbecoming
Anchorage Daily News ^ | Dan Fagan

Posted on 09/02/2008 10:37:47 AM PDT by steve-b

The governor's appearance on KWHL's "The Bob and Mark Show" last week is plain and simple one of the most unprofessional, childish and inexcusable performances I've ever seen from a politician.

Anchorage DJ Bob Lester unleashed a vicious, mean-spirited, poisonous attack on Senate President Lyda Green last week while our governor was live on the air with him.

When we played the tape on my show the day after it happened, we received 130 calls. Even some Palinbots were disgusted.

The Daily News posted the recording on its Web site and it fired up bloggers.

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner editorial writers demanded the governor apologize. The Juneau and Ketchikan papers also ran the editorial.

The Daily News opinion page addressed the governor's gaffe. They wrote "She came off looking immature herself, almost high-schoolish. It was conduct unbecoming a governor."

It was conduct unbecoming a human being, never mind a governor....

We certainly know who Dan Fagan of the Anchorage Daily News hired to service him.

What’s the problem? So what. Every single politician has screwed up. This is nothing but static.

Is this a joke?

A commentary about what someone thinks Sarah should have said?

HA...this looks to me like Governor Palin does not play the stupid games that politicians play.....saying ....”MY FRIEND, so and so, when they are bitter enemies. Yeah, she’s blunt. Who knows what the back story on all of this is?

The Palin camp says the governor did call Green and apologize.

Big deal. Barack Obama is friends with an admitted terrorist.

There’s not a single Freeper who could run for VP and not be caught out by at least five or ten ‘juvenile’ posts from the past.

Am I missing something? I read the whole story. The most “objectionable” act was Palin laughing three times at the radio host’s description of an opponent. Palin didn’t use any offensive language. This is a non-story.

Palin didn’t do a dam thing wrong. She just laughed at some jokes and name calling. She didn’t say anything at all that was bad in anyway.

A typical regressive’s hit piece.

I thing the author’s use of “Palinbots” is unprofessional, childish and inexcusable, and is a vicious, mean-spirited, poisonous attack, wherein he comes off looking immature himself, and almost high-schoolish. Where along the political spectrum would you have to be to use this term as a curse?

So ... let me get this straight ...

Mean things were said about a politician, (Lyda Green) and some Republican (Palin) didn't express sufficient outrage?

Boy, the Democrats and Media whores will be OUTRAGED by that sort of behavior! That's the sort of thing they HATE! Unless, of course, they're doing it themselves.

Having listened to Dan Fagan’s show occasionally when I lived in Alaska makes it hysterical to hear him commenting about how immature and foolish someone is on the radio.

But there is more. Lester then describes Green's chair as big and cushy. A clear reference to the senator's weight. Palin laughs a third time. She's just having a grand old time.

Palin was clearly enjoying every second of Lester's vicious attack on her political rival.

But it gets worse.

Lester asks Palin point blank: "Do you have any idea of what you did, to make Lyda Green dislike you, hate you?" How does Palin respond? Does she do the right thing? What you would expect from a mature leader, a governor and say, "Bob, Lyda doesn't hate me."

No, she responds like a 13-year-old and says, "Um, you know once and a while I try to figure that out but I can't figure that out."

*Yawn!* Wake me if you find she associated with a domestic terrorist.
