Palin's Responses On Radio Talk Show Very Unbecoming

Anchorage Daily News ^ | Dan Fagan

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....

She ain’t much on the outside either.

So, does this guy always have his panties in a knot like this?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Dang! Guess I should have checked the date. Kudos to the mods for adding it in the title.

Lyda Greene and Sarah Palin could have been in a Donald Trump-Rosie O’Donnell-style war of words at the time, I suppose.

Sorry, Steve, I’m still votin’ for ‘em.

[VeniVidiVici]

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."

You can't be freaking serious. You wasted 5 minutes of my day by posting this tripe that should be on DU?

So what? Barack Obama went to a racist “church” and prayed alongside his good friend and mentor Reverend Wright, hoping for the setruction of whitey America.
He’s close friends with a known terrorist. He’s good friends with many other mrxist America hating trash.
he’s good friends with many Islamic America hating terrorists.

There are hundreds of Democrat blogs saying Palins daughter gave birth to a retarded baby- and not only is that bad- her mother is “faking” to be the mother.(even though her daughter is still pregnant).

So what if Palin is blunt and calls a spade a spade. That’s good in my opinion.

[wagglebee]

If you read the article, the criticism of Palin IS NOT about anything she said, it’s about what she DID NOT SAY to a shock jock.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I read the editorial. I’m sure when the Washington Times or NY Post reports on some Democrat’s despicable on-air comments, you always listen to the show tapes, right?

[colorado tanker]

Fagan claims to be a conservative but somehow managed to join the 20% of Alaskans who don't approve of Palin.

[eastsider]

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.

"My friends, about those posts on the Uranus threads ..."

[wagglebee]

You wasted 5 minutes of my day by posting this tripe that should be on DU?

Actually, the DUmmies probably wouldn't waste their time with a non-story that's SEVEN MONTHS OLD.

This is a FReeper smear campaign.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Oh, right! steve-b... the Mitt supporter.

You know, I was afraid that Mitt might join the MSM nuts who are looking for ways to knock Palin out of this campaign... this effort looks pretty weak.

I really thought Mitt was sincere in his congratulations to Sarah Palin and for McCain’s choice — very much to his credit. You, sir, are very much to his detriment and if you represent an effort by Mitt’s organization, then you are stepping over the line into the low-class of the Daily KOS crowd.

[XenaLee]

It sounded like nervous laughter to me. Nothing wrong at all with her response. Just the usual leftist morons making a mountain out of a molehill. Or trying to.

[wagglebee]

My guess, in light of the fact that the drive-by media has made NO MENTION of this SEVEN MONTH OLD STORY, is that this has long since been forgotten by just about everyone in Alaska.

This is an OP-ED column from JANUARY that a FReeper is using as a hit piece in his smear campaign.

[Mr Inviso]

“All I can say is, either this Lyda Greene is one first-class ugly-on-the-inside she-devil, or Sarah Palin is not as mature as I assumed she was. Her less-than-classy behavior, as mentioned by Mr. Fagan (who is apparently not a class act himself), reminds me of Robin Quivers on the Howard Stern show.”

From my conversation with my sister up in AK, Greene is exactly that. Ugly both inside and out, and some sort of stain on state politics.

Fagan claims to be a conservative but somehow managed to join the 20% of Alaskans who don't approve of Palin.

Sounds like one of Rush's "seminar callers" to me. Keepin' his moveon.org/DNC/DU/DailyKos cards close to his chest. :-)

[Kevmo]

Oh well, Palin doesn’t have the looks for radio anyways.

[apocalypto]

Either John goofed up again, or he wanted S. Palin to create a diversion from his and Cindy’s issues.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Wow. Alaska’s version of Harry Reid, huh? Well, that helps explain Palin’s responses.

[Sue Perkick]

Did you listen to the actual AUDIO? This is the most unfreakin’ believable NON story.

I mean dang. Just double dangdang.

[colorado tanker]

This quote is showing up in articles introducing Palin: "She's as Alaskan as you can get," says Dan Fagan, an Anchorage radio talk show host. "She's a hockey mom, she lives on a lake, she ice fishes, she snowmobiles, she hunts, she's an NRA member, she has a float plane, and her husband works for BP on the North Slope," Fagan says.

Doesn't sound like Fagan is holding any grudges.
