Rumors, thoughts and just plain lies

Eddy, Eddy, Eddy, Just can't understand the way things work in the USA. Nobody, and I mean nobody, believes differently than you do that Mike Wooten, based upon what we know, is a bad guy - a real jerk. In spite of and contrary to the Governor's glowing letter of recommendation for him in 2000, he's proven otherwise. But, my little buddy, he's had his day of due process and he's been punished. He has been punished as much as he can be without his employer doing something illegal. And that's the point. Stay with me - I know this is a lot for you to process. Again, nobody says differently about Mr. Wooten. In this country, you can't be put in double-jeopardy; what is done is done, and that, my friend, is why Monegan had to do what he did and was also very sensitive to pressure to do otherwise. He (and his successor by the way) do not have a choice with Wooten other than to consciously break the law, opening himself, the department, the Governor and the State up to a horrendously large lawsuit that we would lose. That is how things work in this country. Sadly, you swing and miss every time - understand that it's not at all about Wooten and how fit or unfit he is to serve in your eyes or anyone else's. For you to not understand this is almost laughable and it makes you look downright stupid. But............here's the kicker..........I believe deep down inside you know this. When your gal got caught and the heat is on and unrelenting based on the concept of law, this is the only defense you and her other devout defenders can throw out there. It's unbelievably similar to Mr. Bill Clinton - it wasn't about whether he had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky - not at all - it's about whether, when pressed under oath, he lied. And it turned out he did and was impeached for it. If true that she abused her powers to get Wooten, what Palin did is also against the law in this country. Do you comprehend this my good lad? (If not, I will truly recognize your apparent lack of mental capacity)

Eddie ... Please explain why you deserve to carry a cell phone. Do U snd nau-t txt msgs. 2 the guv, 2?

Eddie, as an accused hater, I will state to you, slowly, that I believe Trooper Sweet Baby Wooten, does no honor to the uniform. Whether the numerous reviews performed due to complaints from the Palin clan were or were not justified, he's not going to win "Guy of the Year" anytime soon from the Super one. Having said that, what is the fate of the family that ate the moose with Wooten? What should we think of a mother so concerned about her son being zapped that she did, nothing? What about the Good Gov's own words denying that anyone from her administration spoke about the troubled trooper? Eddie, you speak of truth, and honesty, but it seems you're more concerned about it than the woman you worship. Sad. I'm not part of the "old school" Republican Alaskans. I moved here 15 years ago. I'm not even a registered Republican. I don't have a Young or Stevens sign in my front yard. I don't work for "Big Oil". I don't fit the mold of your "Church of Palin Haters". What I am, is someone who looks very closely at a person who claims to be without sin, when I am a sinner. I watch and listen for the signs of failure and falsehood, and I pity those who don't try. You are the the preacher to the masses of true Palin believers, and not even Bob and Mark come close to your skill. Some day, Don and Ted will be gone, and Sarah will be out of office. What will your cause be then? Who will you worship when your goddess is gone? I know the press conference the Gov. held meant nothing to you. I know you believe she was unaware of the conversations regarding the troubled trooper. But Eddie, the earth isn't flat, the sky isn't purple, and the moon isn't made of green cheese. Sorry

...Mike Wooten has already gone through the Trooper version of "arraigned, investigated, tried and punished"...or are you a proponent of double jeopardy? Should we be able to go back in anyone's record, including yours, and re-punish folks for whatever "crimes" we feel weren't "punished enough?" There's this little thing called legal precedent in this country that speaks pretty clearly upon that. There's also a pretty extensive legal precedent on the misuse of Legislative powers.

...In addition, I'd add that not firing Bailey after a significant breach of conduct (falsely representing the governor on an official phone call) then it certainly appears to be  hypocritical for her to complain that the Troopers protected one of their own. AH

I realize that you don't have the mental capacity to understand your own flawed logic, but can you not understand that Trooper Wooten is not the issue? Can you not grasp that Trooper Wooten recieved "Due Process" under the rules that applied when these allegations were made several years ago? Do you understand that this was investigated, and he was punished for these issues prior to Sarah becoming Governor? Can you not fathom that this is an attempt by the Governor to take out her vengance on a someone for a perceived slight on her family? Trooper Wooten is not the issue, as much as you and the rest of the Palinbots would like it to be. No matter how much you scream it on the radio, no matter how many press conferences Sarah holds, no matter how many times she makes backhanded references to "this trooper" and his illicit(that means bad) behavior. The reality of this situation is this, Sarah Palin has missued, and abused the power of the Governors office, and or, been so completely inept and ineffectual as a leader as to allow this behavoir, that she may well be impeached, and removed from office. She has absolutely no grasp of the situation, nor do any of her blind followers. I'm affraid that you are part of this latter group Eddie. It's a shame that you cannot open your eyes to see the real issue right in front of you. I could agree with you if it weren't so obvious that you have been hoodwinked by the most popular snake oil salesperson to ever disgrace the halls of the Governors mansion. I hope that for your own sake you can get over this infatuation with Sarah and see her for the person she truly is, not just the one she claims to be. Neocon Todd

I'm not opposing the investigation against the Gov. I'm asking to investigate the DPS punishment of Wooten too. Yes, he has been punished, but if there was a "Cover-up" and the punishment is not consistent with Trooper guidelines, then an investigation is warranted. Those who have piled in here to trash me are more concerned about nailing the Gov and running me down instead of uncovering corruption. Just because one has been investigated does not preclude the DPS or the FBI from re-opening that case. This is where most you and I disagree. You think the punishment Wooten received was fair and appropriate. I don’t and neither does most Alaskans. Only people that resort to calling me Dumb-ass, stupid, jerk, not worth listening to and a waste of time believe that mess. If all of you would quit slobbering all over your selves with hate for the Gov, you might join me and ask the FBI and the DOJ to investigate this issue too. What are you afraid of? We can have two investigations and see where it goes. “Let the cards fall,” as one blogger told me. Here is why you will not join me: You think it might bring out the true story of a cover-up within the DPS and the Governor might be vindicated… That’s why. You’re afraid your boy Wooten is too dirty to survive it. (By the way where do you have Big Foot or Lurch hidden?) If the FBI and the DOJ brought out any evidence of any wrong doing by DPS, politically the Governor is a hero. I’m not afraid of investigating the Gov… go for it, but will you join me in my phone call to the FBI? I’m waiting… holding my breath. Eddie Burke... Dumb ass, stupid, High School, loser, trailer park, got anything else? LOL!!

There are simply too many spelling errors to waste my time correcting. Perhaps your wife could proof-read for you, Eddie, before posting. You look like a fool, a really stupid fool.

Eddie, Type your stuff on Microsoft Word. Do a "spell check", then "copy" and "paste", to AH's comment section. I get a headache reading your stuff. Trying To Be Your Friend.

This email is a great example of why I quit listening to KBYR. Eddie Burke is a (barely) functional idiot who has a fundamental misunderstanding of the issues at hand. I'm glad you didn't address the issues pertinent to this case, Eddie- to do otherwise would be way out of character for you. Way to tow the company line- and I'm glad you finally got someone to spellcheck your posts, you punch-drunk jackass.

The COWARD Burke-- KBYR radio, home of Eddie Burke, a long-time uber-conservative Anchorage talk show host. Turns out that Eddie Burke not only announced the rally, but called the people who planned to attend the rally 'a bunch of socialist baby-killing maggots,' and read the home phone numbers of the organizers aloud over the air, urging listeners to call and tell them what they thought. The women, of course, received some nasty, harassing and threatening messages. So I sent KBYR a note myopinion@kbyr.com Sirs: I have never heard of greater cowardice than that of Eddie Burke, YOUR employee. To be dressed in male attire, and to then deliberately expose females to danger is truly a Sheep in Wolves clothes. A junkie scum purse snatcher at least has to BRIEFLY face his female victim. YOUR employee hides in the safety of his cubicle and publicly TARGETS females so that they may be assaulted by his equally cowardly allies. Lurkers who fear the light as do cockroaches.This person Burke is what you put forth as a "conservative"!? MEN stand for ladies, offer them their seat, and even, as on the Titanic, die so the females may survive. NOT Burke, that rodent and his vermin ilk would be throwing ladies out of the life boat so he could have more room. Burke is no CONSERVATIVE and he is NOT a man. John Sweeney

Whenever his show starts, I change the channel, too. Too bad for KBYR!

Nicely put! I literally would cringe when listening to Eddie Burke. Did they hire him off the street or what? My 7 year old niece could do a better talk show. I would rather listen to cats fight outside my bedroom window!

... to say I actually used to listen to Eddie and voted for Palin. He just doesn't seem to understand that the issue is not whether or not Wooten deserves to be a trooper. The issue is whether or not our elected officials are acting properly. Seems strange that Eddie continues to villianize the deeds of Ted Stevens and Don Young, but blindly defends Palin. I can no longer listen to a man who cannot be intellectually honest. Keep up the good work Andrew. I apoligize for not voting for you in the last election. You have my support in the future!

Eddie, no one wants Frank Bailey to get fired. We like that he's there, "helping" the governor. This issue has nothing to do with Trooper Wooten. It's all about Sarah. Let the chips fall where they may. It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong. -Voltaire

I have been told first hand by the director of a non-profit in ANC that the GOV was very demanding when she made an appearance at one of their events.

In fact, the director had to assign one staff member just to attend to the Governors demands. This was a non-profit that doesn't have enough staff, anyway.

if she tasked them to raise her children as well.
