Bob Poe on the Eddie Burke Show…
OK, normally I don’t ever suggest anyone listen to Eddie Burke. I do sometimes, just so you don’t have to. But this one intrigued me. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bob Poe will be on The Eddie Burke Show today. In his own words, he will be “challenging Eddie Burke to embrace the post-Palin Alaska.” Hmmm.
According to his Facebook page, the start time is 3:30 and the end time is 5:00. (4:30-6:00 pacific, 7:30-9:00 eastern)
I don’t know how any human being could survive being in a small closed room with Eddie Burke for an hour and a half, so I’m assuming he may be there for only part of that time.
So, ye who are brave of heart, noble of spirit and iron of stomach…

I heard Mark Colavecchio (AM 750) on the radio yesterday with Bob Poe and I swear it sounded like Mark was in love. He kept going on and on about how he “has a good feeling” about Bob. Interesting, since Mark leans pretty hard right these days.
I shall try to listen in…got family visiting tonight, so I might not be able to, but if I am, I’ll liveblog.
Wow……..well should be interesting.Thank you for the heads up. Prolly can’t catch it but I look forward to the famous ‘pup “live blog” reading.
I must go to bed…but will read comments in the am.
Sorry if OT but great article by Peggy Noonan regarding the soon to be ex gov.
this is the link from the post

Hey, you’re supposed to be on vacation. But this should be interesting.
Can we have Bob Poe please please please????? Our governor is such a wienie (even though I believe his heart is in the right place).
Oh, and get back to vacationating!!!
I went to Eddie Burke Show which is on now. New Ethics complaint just filed. Says Palin was paid for numerous radio and TV interviews after she lost election in November.
Next up is Dan Sullivan
Travel freeze and sort of hiring freeze and slimming down government
Gay rights- Burke speculates that proponents of gay rights will have to get petitions signed to get the issue put on the ballot. Sullivan thinks they should have to do the work if they want it voted on.
Had to do a triple take there. Bob P and Eddie B? Bob better bring his super duper extra strength slime guard… you know the one he uses when confronting Palin.
Can someone let us know what transpire in the am -for those of us who cannot enjoy? Thanks
I predict the rabid Palin fans from sea of pee will call in droves and slam our Bob Poe. PLEASE call the show mudpuppies – it will be sad to hear that all the callers are of the same ilk as Eddie Burke. Anyone planning to call? Let’s throw out suggestions for questions to ask Poe.

Ask him about Pebble mine and other environmental issues.
Daniel going into the badgers den, or should I say skunks?
Does anyone know the status of Linda getting the emails? I cannot find any info that she has even requested them. Last thing on her blog was that it would have to be mailed to Juneau.
I talked to that S*O*B* once (Burke( and there is no way in Hell I would waste life on the scuzbucket no matter who he had on (Ok I would listen if AKM went on) but that would be the ONLY person on the face of the Earth and thank goodness AKM wouldn’t give him the pleasure.
Mr. Poe my hat off to you, you are a much better person than me. Be sure to take your Maalox and your boots, I am sure it will get nauseating and deep.
I have to wait for a while…fil & dh are watching NCIS….sigh….

I know where he can borrow an almost-new pair of waders!
Bob is on….has been since about 3:15. He started after the announcement by the AG that Sarah can appoint Craig Campbell as Lite Gov.
The AG was introduced by Scarah Chief of Staff, Mike Nizick – that guy gushed about how abused Sarah has been and came across like a true sychophant – Merriam Webster defines it thusly : a servile self-seeking flatterer. The synonym is “parasite”. He said he has been a public servant his whole life – you know who he reminds me of? Gollum……ewwwww.
Bob is speaking really well about AGIA…Eddie is being very respectful for Eddie.
well Scarah is gonna one up ya Bob…….she’s such a jealous twit.

“FAIRBANKS — Gun rights enthusiasts, including rock-and-roller turned avid hunter Ted Nugent, are expected to call in to a talk radio show in Fairbanks, where Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has scheduled an appearance.”
someone ask what he thinks this winter will be like for the AK Natives who had it so bad last year, ask him if he knows of anything in place to help deal with it.
Eddie Burke cannot compromise on anything. He doesn’t believe in a gray area – everything is black and white…everything is “us” and “them”.
There’s a caller that is very pro-sarah, and pro-life, and because Bob is a Democrat he can forget about it. And now she is talking about the gasline…
Another black and white mindset…
The article in the ADN about Sarah on the talk show in Fairbanks has a couple of awesome comments!

Great article in the Alaskan Dispatch about Palin’s rise from Mayor to Governor and all the interesting twists and turns.
A wonderful analysis of her behaviors and ability/inability to stay”on the job”.
Have a nice weekend everybody!!!!!
Eddie Burke is an entertainer. There is no other way to excuse such incredible ignorance. He doesn’t really want to hear what anyone else has to say.
A Bob supporter called and talked about what a great guy he is. Eddie asked what the job of the Governor is – Bob talked about leadership, administrative management and didn’t get to the third because Eddie cut him off to take a break. He doesn’t have the intelligence to take the break at the end of a thought – he just interrupted him. What a moron.
I keep expecting Eddie to rise to the occasion, but he is not capable.
Phil Munger is somewhere in the list of people waiting to get on…he will have to update us about the rest of this.
I really can’t take anymore. I am tuning to 650 to see what Andrew Halcro has to say.
not excuse such incredible ignorance, explain such incredible ignorance.
I want one of those “I know Bob Poe” buttons…

================================================
That’s what Rick Sanchez said about Rush Limbaugh, he’s “just” an entertainer, when you meet him Sanchez says “he’s a really nice guy, a really nice guy”.
I’m sick to death of hate filled rhetoric being referred to as, “opinion”, “entertainment” and “news” aka FOX.
I was over on Celtic Diva’s site and came across this as part of an article she posted:
U.S. Criminal Code Title 18 Ch. 113b Para 2331 :
the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that-
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended-
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping;
and
(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.
This is really food for thought. When you read this who comes to mind?
Fear and hate are the motto in what remains of the republican party.
Last Sunday Colin Powell said they they still have a problem with racism and he is correct.
You know that these are the folks that continue to wear “the hoods”, only now the republicans have given them a public platform.
There will be another or new consertvitive party come 2012.
The current party is only 20% of the population so they have died, now they are stinking and they will be buried before 2012.
I have stated before that I appreciate and respect a conservative point of view.
That is something you can have discourse with.
What remains of the republican party, since they sold their soul to the religious wingnuts are a fearful hate filled terrorists.
That’s correct, they ARE the American terrorists.
Anyone who watched their convention last year was more than reminded of Nazi Germany.
I am adding Eddie Burke to the list from my post on DBO.
Bush, Cheney, Rice , Murdoch with his Fox news, Rush Limbaugh, John McCain and YES Sarah Palin.
Her “palin’ around with terrorists” remarks, “real America” etc., turned her rallies into dangerous hate fests.
The Nazi type chant of USA USA USA, kill him, kill him, only brought a smile to her lips.
It also raised the death threats on Obama considerably according to FBI AND the Secret Service.
The McCain campaign was well aware AND informed of this by these agencies.
What did they do? They carried on with more of the same.
Sarah Palin by legal definition IS a domestic terrorist.
I gave up at 8:10 (eastern) because of non-stop commercials and I wasn’t sure if Poe was coming back on…..? I thought Burke was disrepectful, constantly cuttng Poe off and pretty much mocking him. Made fun of bringing Alaskans together rather than drawing partylines.
Bob Poe did stand strong and was intelligent with as much as he managed to get out.
justafarmer–if I can track one down, I’ll send you one. You might have more luck getting an Anchorage mudpup to find you one though…
argh – can’t get through – busy
I wouldn’t support the show by calling. Let the freak salivate over Palin solo. Don;t give him an audience.
How dare Burke! Cut the caller Dave off rudely, calling him a social liberal. What a jerk!!
Please dont let Parnell be Buttercup in pants!! Yuk!!
You go Bob!!
I must be the only one on this thread.
califpat – I tuned back in and heard the whole thing too! The caller said he was a conservative moderate I think in the beginning and wasn’t happy with either party and especially all the dems spending then said he was pro-life AND pro-choice so instantly Burke said that. Sheesh.
michigander: Glad youre here to listen to this jerk Burke. Makes it easier to listen to him.
That station only has smart radio on saturday evening. Poe should have waited for Shannyn or Mike Method.
Many of us here are what Eddie Burke fears most.
How many of you consider yourselves true Fiscal Conservatives with Social Liberal values?
As long as enough people like us exist, his ilk will never again be able to hijack a major political party.
The caller is not the governor either! Poe is right, no other Alaskan Gov has had all the ethics complaints that soon to be ex- gov has. Yea Poe!!
Just poed my pants with that last pic. Is e.b. wearing a Poe pin? These are indeed strange times we are living in.
Go Bob Poe! He did pretty darn good that last segment stim package and ethics complaints – and good for the Diane calls.
I am not good at live blogging….
You aren’t alone, califpat. Burke is talking over both his guest and callers, as usual. It’s rude and makes him harder to listen to.
Empish, I hope he will spend some more radio time on those shows. I’d really like to hear what he has to say, and I’m not having much luck with that today, thanks to Mr. Burke.
This is why Rush and Eddie attack the “Moderate Conservative”.
We hold them fiscally and socially accountable…..
Big Slick – count me in. I’m fiscally conservative, but live and let live on the social issues.
Well, I’m impressed with Mr. Poe. He sounds like a reasonable, thoughtful man.
Had to go downstairs and make a sandwich and missed some of the show. Was starving.
The funny thing is that the old Republicans expected their government to only do the things only government could do, to be frugal with their money, and to stay out of their business and personal lives.
They may not have been thrilled to see a public display of affection from gay people, but they didn’t really like that with hetero people, either. What people did in the privacy of their own homes was their business.
How the party got so far from that in the last 20-30 years just baffles me.
I think it’s a good thing Poe was on Burke, get it out there to everyone and attempt to make a difference.
ValleyIndependent: You are so right about Burke.
ValleyIndependent and Michigander: Yeppers! And Poe is the voice reason and rationale in the company of an imbecile. I can say that Poe is holding his own! Go Poe!
Wow! Alaska’s food prices are pretty steep! &2.99 a pound for chicken breast.
oh just got bback.. have i missed it??
lolli, it’s over but Poe did alright considering Burke cut him off ‘right and left’. Damn that creep Burke is divisive! Methinks he wants to be a Limpballs mini-me o:
I thought Bob did well and, to go against what so many of you are saying, I thought Eddie gave him a measure of respect. Yes, he interrupted at times, but that’s part and parcel of talk radio. To be honest, this was my first time listening to the show and from everything I’d heard, I was expecting to hear scorn in Eddie’s voice and I wasn’t hearing that. In fact, he gave Bob some points, albeit grudgingly, all the while introducing him to an audience (Eddie’s) that probably wouldn’t be inclined to listen otherwise. If Bob wants to be governor, he can’t just go on friendly interviews and his willingness to go on Eddie’s show made me respect him all the more.
darn.. i wanted to hear.. im glad he did ok. I had a tiling job been done at work early this morning so couldnt stay to listen
and AKM gone what will I do till shes back lol
I think the repubs got hijacked by the ‘family’.
BigSlick, I wish there were more like you! I consider myself liberal. That is very much based on my social values. But I also belive in fiscal responsibility & controlling immigration. Anyhow my point is it is too bad the Republican party has gone so far to the right because it’s impossible to get anything done! We probably need 3 or 4 main parties-I don’t know!!
Is Bob Poe moderate or far left? I wish a Democrat would win there but it seems unlikely with Alaskas demographics.

——————————————
All I know is Bob Poe became a Democrat in January this year and in 2007 donated $500 to Lisa Murkowski’s 2010 campaign – so I guess he figured himself a Republican in those days ….
As far as I can determine he is heavily into resource development (e.g. Healy Coal) but registered as a Democrat because he doesn’t hate gays and women – and obviously because he thought he would have a better chance as a Democrat.
I’m waiting for some hard policy.
ValleyIndependent - How the party got so far from that in the last 20-30 years just baffles me.
This site explains it pretty thoroughly …

The easy way is only doing interviews with venues that are sympathetic to you (The Palin Way).
But Bob Poe is not afraid of doing interviews with hostile interviewers….It’s the Cowboy Way!
“Keep movin, movin, movin. Though they’re disapprovin, keep them doggies movin, Rawhide!
Don’t try to understand ‘em, just rope, throw, and brand ‘em. Soon we’ll be living high and wide.”
Eddie B. is one big bawlin’ steer….
Ranger Doug is so proud of you. Great job, Bob!
Thanks Closet Mudpup for the info.
Seems like Eddie’s blood pressure went down measurably once Bob admitted that he owns firearms and hunts.
