Hawaii Gets Sullied!

Mayor Dan Sullivan, who got elected recently to a second term, will take his oath of office not in his city… not even in his STATE.  No, Mayor Sullivan will be taking his oath of office in Honolulu, Hawaii on Monday.

Kid you not.

But the mayor won’t be too homesick. He’ll have his pal/Municipal Attorney Dennis Wheeler by his side.

The oath, taken 3,000 miles away from Anchorage City Hall, apparently coincides with his annual vacation to visit the family of his much beleaguered wife.

Sorry, Aloha State for the proverbial turd in your paradise punch bowl. Do feel free to uphold the long and storied arctic tradition of throwing sea urchins and pineapples as the oath is taken. No, seriously. It’s a tradition… I swear

One wonders what the right wing bloviators would have to say if it had been Mayor Paul Honeman,who decided to take his solemn oath to serve the city of Anchorage, while vacationing in the islands.

    When he comes back to Alaska you can all protest the legitimacy of his oath of office and demand he show you the long form to prove he’s really the mayor!!!

    From ADN- according to Sullivan spokeswoman L Whitt, Sullivan arranged to take the oath of office from Hawaii to save Anchorage the expense of swearing him in. Then she said the city coffers weren’t gonna pay for the ceremony. I guess they have all bases covered now.

    Do you think we could convince them to keep him? Maybe we could give the Hawaiians their state back in exchange… 😉

    I have to wonder if he will charge the city for ANY portion of that trip given he will do some ‘business’. It still saddens me that Anchorage say fit to re-elect him. Sure hope he doesn’t try for a ‘higher’ office!

      From someone who has cattle on site and has hog confinements close by,the stench around Mikey cain’t be near as bad as Anchorage politics. I suspect if the mayor’s office gets any “higher” all the vultures around here will be headed your way. With or without my compliments.

    • John says:

      He is going to run for higher office. And he could easily win in this state. Unless we convince some of the 60% who dont vote to get out and make a difference.

      • Zakk says:

        First someone needs to run against Sully that is less evil than he is. I see that as a huge problem lately; no one wants to have to choose between the lesser of two evils, so they think “Why bother voting at all.” Honeman was an idiot, his one commercial buried in a snowbank was childish at best. Honemen, if he had won, would have been a disaster in the making. Get someone with some integrity to take on Dan, and maybe that 60% who don’t vote, will.

    I am absolutely flabbergasted that the mayor of a city would take his oath of office somewhere else! If he is there for vacation then he should have planned the vacation for a later date; if he is there for a real reason (death in the family) then he should have postponed taking the oath of office. But in this day of fast travel (he’s not going to Hawaii by canoe after all) he be able to be in Anchorage for the swearing in ceremony. Who’s paying the tab for the city’s attorney to accompany him?

    What are the chances a civic minded, benevolent shark would eat the SOB? I understand sharks don’t eat lawters as a professional courtesy and they don’t imbibe divorced rwnj women because they are always bitter.

    The localsdon’t pay attention to what the crazy haoles do, just so long as they leaveafter spending their money….

    How the (******) did that (**********) get a second term???

    Who is planning the party? Parties don’t just plan themselves, you know . . . it takes a party planner!

  10. zyxomma says:

    Fortunately, Hawaii is so gorgeous that it won’t be too very awfully sullied, once he’s gone.

  11. Celia Harrison says:

    It’s just more of the Dan Sullivan “respect”.

  12. COalmostNative says:

    Pele can throw fireballs and lava rocks instead of pineapples…be my guest.

  13. Wallflower says:

    Hawaii survived Protestant missionaries, greedy sugar conglomerates, volcanoes and hurricanes, so I’m not too worried about the islands. I have to say, the word “hubris” did trickle into my mind, though… Maybe Pele will have something to say about it.

      Hawaii may have survived all of that, but it’s native flora and fauna are adversely affected by RATS!
