Ending ‘Rascism’ in Anchorage – One Hour at a Time
A “Rascist.” We were never quite sure what it was… a hybrid of fascism and racism, or just someone who can’t spell his own intolerance. But whatever it is, there’s an hour less of it every day in Anchorage.
That’s right folks, Eddie Burke, the local radio hatemonger on KBYR 700-am and Sarah Palin’s golden boy had his show chopped by an hour, and his time slot moved. Note the following Tweet:
So… going from 3 hours to 2 hours in an undecided time slot is “super drive time?” I suppose if he stepped on a bear trap he’d end up with a “super leg!” Or if he ordered a pizza and it came a few slices short, it would be a “super pie!” Oh, the possibilities…
Rumor has it that the half hour screed “The Fastest Show on Radio,” with Glen Biegel is now off the lineup completely. I guess that would mean it’s “even faster.”
Maybe Anchorage just can’t support that much hate and vitriol. Everyone…all together… “Awwwwwwww.”
I see Rush is in the hospital in serious condition in Hawaii, speaking of radio talk show hosts.
“Dang it!” This is just like Sarah quitting her job didn’t make her a quitter! It’s the new ReTeaPubBagLiGersCanParty trend – “Nobody cut my show! I just made it more meaningful by letting my boss shorten it!”
Now he has more time to be a jerk in person
There go those ‘ Conservatives ‘ again…
As usual….I guess he can’t see the OBVIOUS truth in front of him.
Maybe a glance at his timecard and it would become clearer…
and more ‘ obvious ‘. Just saying….
Or put another way… suppose Eddie was a big fat polar bear sitting on His iceberg and it started shrinking starting next week.
I don’t really think the polar bear would see THIS as a good thing.
Eddie should take heed of Rush’s condition… an angry and hateful heart in an oversized and out-of-shape body is bound to go on the fritz.
Better yet, HIG… suppose Eddie is sitting next to a polar bear on a shrinking ice berg… do you suppose the bear could chow down before the ice all melted away?
Bye Eddie. One hour down, two to go..
Oh my…one hour less of that mess can only mean one hour more potential for good honest talk on the airwaves. I hope the replacement time will be well spent. Hmmmmmmmmmm……any ideas?
Woo hoo! on the cut for Burke! One down….two to go!
I never listen to talk radio so don’t know how much time he had before or when it was – but unfortunately w/the 4-6 pm slot he will be on the drive home time for those going to the valley after a normal shift… and unfortunately many of the Red Shirts and $arah’s Rah Rah Club will be listening on their drive home.
Never listened to him. Never will.
Wait a minute. So he is moving from two to five and now will be on from four to six. So that means there is a slot open from two to four. Hmmm. Wonder if I can think of someone who might be able to fill that slot. Maybe someone who has a Saturday show on that station, who could get national guests, and gets callers from all sides of the spectrum. Geez, is there anyone who might meet that criteria?
So now Eddie is going head to head in that time slot with Mike Porcaro on KENI (Don’t know who is schedule from two to four on KENI0. Dan Fagan is still from two to five on 750 so KBYR is going to put somone strong against Fagan and then hope their audience bleeds into the Imperial Wizards show.
Who in the world listens to that pig? I am surprised he is still on the air. Goes to show it doesn’t take much to get one of the shows! Oh and for the record, Glenn Beck is on KENI from 1-4.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.
Congrats Eddie. Karma is a …. you know the rest.
This is one of those guys Sarah pals around with so she really can’t say anything about anybody elses “Pals”.
Another one of Sarah’s “pals”. Did anybody tell him what teabaggers means yet? Oh, sorry he’s smart and already knows and is so proud he wears it on his shirt!
Hey, I’m from Virginia so I don’t know the guy. Is that him in the shirt? If so, Eeeekkkkkkkkk!

Yep, that’s Eddie boy in all his redneck, ignorant, illiterate glory. These wingnuts have to do something about their sex symbols! They all look like poster boys for Viagra.
Eddie Burke, the good friend of the Palin/Heath clan that would allow a 7/8 year old girl on the radio with old goats is scary. Even if it was the one and only time that the child was on Eddie Burke’s vulgar show (which I unfortunately happened to hear), it was not right and it makes me understand a bit more why Sarah is so very screwed up. IMO, Sarah’s moose slaying with her dad only reinforced not so veiled threats during her formative years. Perhaps the real damage to Sarah was caused by her really strange father, apparently complicit (and/or clueless) mother, and compliant siblings. Lord help them all.
Sarah’s dad, Chuck Heath not ‘Chuck Palin’ (oopsy from my comment on an earlier thread).
Well ok..I sit here superimposing the ‘red shirt’ human-type ..with a reduced air time ..blather-host..n I get this picture. A small line of thread peeking out..near what used to be a waistline..and..the thread starts moving..around and around andaroundddd..releasing the ..ummm topography..under it. One might think belly..another might consider it a metaphor for..a mental process gone rancid..but..by educated types..A ‘Fatty’ Deposit. So..then..around and around that red thread goes..showing the educated world..what lurks..amoungst the..under-educated.
Since I began reading about the mess that is Sarah Palin in Aug. 2008, and after reading about her upbringing, I knew in my Social Workers heart, that the woman had been developed in a dysfunctional home. Hey…many of have grown up with parents that had much to be desired, but Chuck Heath gives me the creeps. My dad and I were alwalys at logger heads…but he was sane…and he passed some really good things on to me, that have served me well.
I believe Heath senior pitted his children against each other. I think he pushed them until their breaking points. I believe Sarah is still looking for daddy’s approval. Just my 2 cents. Means nothing really, but a study of psychology makes one think of these things.
As they say, less is more. Let’s have a tea-party to celebrate the cutting back of Eddie’s air time!
I’ll bet S’error already has her resume in for Rush’s job.
What goes into the open hour? I mean it could be the secessionist or and hour of Tea Bagging.
OT be sure to read Jane Hamsher’s (FDL) excellent article. She discusses the comming to gether of the right and the left to stop the insurance mandate.
Excellent must read/

Yep, you got it. I understand he’s looking for a date for tonight. Anybody free. (Just joking.)
I wouldn’t even want to stand in a grocery line next to that shirt.
If I remember right this is the shirt he wore to a city council meeting that was hearing public input on a non sexual orientation descrimination law for the city.

Drugs, fat and hatred are not a healty combination.
Regarding Rush…I would never hope for anything bad to happen to anyone, so let me wish for Rush what he would wish for those who disagree with him.
I can’t comment on Rush. I learned this at an early age from Thumper’s mother.
Thumper, what did your father tell you?
(Thumper) If ya can’t say nothin nice, don’t say anything at all.
Lips are zipped. I can say that I’m glad Burke is so happy over losing an hour of his airtime. It makes me happy also, too.
I see why winky & eddie are tight, both deem it appropriate to wear apparel stating their narrow minded views in public. Not entirely off for a hate-talk show host but someone who considers themselves qualified to run the free world? Ah, rushbo, I’ll force myself to not say more than “the same one that hopes the president fails” is in the hospital in serious condition? I read he told
first emergency team that showed up that he was on medication for pain. Didn’t that hearing loss often related to barbiturate abuse teach him anything about doing the “oxy”? “The wheels of justice grind slowly but exceedingly fine.”
Who was with Rush in the room ?? Prolly a Dominican houseboy or Brazilian tranny………pile of pills also , too. Just sayin’……….
If Eddie was on for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, that’s 15 hours a week. Now at 2 hours a day, for 5 days a week, that’s a new total of 10 hours per week. I assume that he’s taking a 33% pay cut to go along with a 33% cut in airtime. I wonder if he can afford to continue to do this and support his wife and 4 kids. Maybe he’ll have to quit and get a real job? One can only hope.
Were his local ratings down, or what was the reason for this change? Very interesting, and hopefully this is a good change for Anchorage, but there’s always the possibility (and probability) that the now available airtime will be filled with someone as ignorant and hateful as Eddie Burke.
Susie Snowflake -
You mentioned Eddie’s wife and I just wonder how his bigoted , racist crap flies at the house. It’s been mentioned that his wife is Asian.
BTW – He can’t even spell racist.Look at his shirt.
Let’s photoshop Palin’s head on his body wearing that shirt. It’s what she believes anyway, so why not?
Besides, I am sure that she has one that she wears around the house while eatin’ her taco’s and counting her money.
My father is a mild rascist (not raging like Rush, but rather typical of his WWII generation—sadly) and he is married to a lady of a currently derided ethnicity. You know, one of the South-of-the-border people taking all our jobs away.
Funny thing is, even SHE’S racist speaking of newer arrivals in less than favorable terms. So, I think Eddie and his wife can still be rascist, thinking that they are just exceptional people.
#29 austintx, omg that’s exactly what I was thinking! Yep, mr. patriotic all
American rushbo all hot to send our kids in harm’s way just like darth vader.
Let’s see d*ckless cheney had what five deferments to get out of serving & f*t *ss rushbo had a boil on his butt that prevented him from serving. What a couple of warriors.
Couldnt have happened to a more nice and deserving guy.
Who listens to the radio while driving? Isn’t that what cellphones are for? [laugh on dotted line]
Hmmmm, Maybe all those prayer warrior prayers are backfiring and starting to take out the radical right who espouse them. Maybe God does have a sense of humor.

You mean Scarah?
I so hate to say this, but as someone who has chronic pain, I feel I have to.
Chronic pain is debilitating. It can make you feel stupid, because you just can’t get those synapses firing right. It can take over your life. Medication that can help with that pain is a godsend.
Appropriately used, medication for pain does not automatically mean loopy thought processes, because the pain “uses it up” before you get to that point. Overmedication, or a too large initial dose is where that loopy thinking – and possible addiction – comes in (I had to take my pain meds in half-dose increments, as it hit me like a ton of bricks otherwise.)
Further, if emergency treatment is needed while someone is taking pain medication, it can be critical for the medical personnel to be aware of what and how much medication is in that person’s system. It’s very easy for some medications to work at odds or even against another one. The docs and EMTs gotta know, period.
As I implied, I really am not happy “defending” someone with whom I am so diametrically opposed, but facts is facts, y’know? And them’s the facts, folks.
Dangit.
Nan (aka rosewellborn)
I recommend acupuncture! I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my left wrist. It was diagnosed almost 40 years ago and has flared up from time to time. My doctor would prescribe pain killers and anti-inflammatories. This has been on and off for many many years. For the past two years he has been telling me I must have surgery and I am not willing. My mother had the surgery in both wrists and regretted it as well as many other people I know. For the past year my arm has gone completely numb all the way to my shoulder blade. I would wake up three or four times during the night to hang my arm off the side of the bed to get rid of the numbness. I read about acupuncture in a magazine and figured what the hey, what’s to lose?
I’ve had five treatments and by the third, the numbness is nearly zilch, I sleep through the night, my digestion is amazing and I’ve lost five pounds! It doesn’t hurt any more than a little pinch does. I’m going for monthly maintenance from here on out.
Oh, I forgot to mention that it’s recommended by the WHO. And the Chinese have been using it for more than 2000 years, so I figure there must be something to it. 8 )

Don’t forget smoking. Smoking restricts blood flow. If he already has atherosclerosis problems the smoking just exacerbates them.
Yeah, I’m thinking high cholesterol, hypertensive, possibly pre-diabetic or even diabetic. (If he’s diabetic he’s a complete and utter fool to smoke).
Do you think that the 4-6p and 5-7pt means that he thinks he has fans in the Pacific time zone? I suppose some transplanted bigots might like to keep up on all the hate from home….
Nan, you are correct regarding chronic pain, it’s nothing to joke about. In Rush’s case the hypocrisy is the thing about his drug abuse. After years of preaching to his ditto heads that drug related crimes should be dealt with by jail time I didn’t have much sympathy when it was discovered he was a an abuser. Please accept my apology for any offense taken by my earlier comment. I see another member of the intolerant faction of my state got caught using her state email account to send racist pix of the president to her narrow minded pals. Read at huffpo that winky’s facelift book crowd is enjoying the pic immensely. Once again, anyone that entertains being the leader of the free world would not tolerate that kind of crap on their fb page.
A true leader and Christian would come out and condemn it. She’s a hate mongering racist period. I try not to make fun of her appearance, wardrobe etc. because her soul is so ugly the rest is petty.
Okay, Marnie, you gave me an idea with your post and it could be advice for Eddie and Rush. To paraphrase Dean Wormer “Son, fat, drugged and hateful is no way to go through life”.
Oh my eyes! I haven’t even seen anything like that in NC, for pete’s sake! Is this guy pathological? And gets paid for it? Cheeeeez!
4 to 6? Isn’t that Happy Hour? One hour less gives him time to hit Happy Hour get in more drinks and find a waitress to slap on the BUTT. Maybe, get his buddies together and go down and harrass people at Mad Myrnas.
Hee-hee, AKM, you do make me laugh! Super sweet to have Burke cut back. I do hope the hour isn’t turned over to….something worse…
Nan, jc already commented but just want to add, I didn’t take it that you’re defending Limbaugh, simply the fact that pain med is a fact of life for some. It’s his abuse, hypocrisy and the fact that he has a platform to spew it that is the problem.
Moose Pucky won’t be tunin’ in to that pucky.
kbyr–Would that be Kut the Bull, You Rotten-egg?
re: Rush and pills
Asswipe was ordering employees to “Dr. shop” for his addiction.
A pig dressed up in a red shirt with piggy words on it.
My wish for him in 2010: he finds himself on The Biggest Loser doing a thousand jumping jacks while Jillian Michaels screams obscenities at him.
austintx – and Palin gives him respect but not Sherry Johnston. I don’t condone what she did but I empathize with her, certainly not with Rush Limbaugh. Little Burke, Palin and her ilk wouldn’t give Real America the time of day….way beyond this but same rhetoric and so transparent. When will these people wake up? They are cutting off their nose to spite their face!
Let’s vow to make positive change and keep educating.
Well, what does Mudflats expect……..?? Palin is Baby Eddie’s ventriloguist.
