VRWC in the Last Frontier

Posted on | September 2, 2010 | 23 Comments

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Politics up here seems to be a matter of constant intrigue, and if you think the shenanigans ended with Lisa Murkowski’s concession speech, you’re wrong. However, I can say no more about the behind-the-scenes maneuvering, as what happens at the Moose’s Tooth Pub stays at the Moose’s Tooth Pub:

Anchorage talk-radio legend Eddie Burke, me, Red County contributor Thomas Lamb and Libertarian Republican blogger Eric Dondero.

BTW, there was quite a bit of chatter Wednesday about the Vanity Fair article on Sarah Palin that was, as they say, a long run for a short slide. Second- and third-hand talk about Sarah Palin is dirt cheap, so why would the editors of VF pay good money for such a flimsy story?

    so the VF piece was discussed and opinions on Palin are a dime a dozen.

    What were those opinions? Is the VF piece even remotely accurate? How is Palin viewed in Alaska? She isn’t their girl next door anymore and I hear most don’t take kindly to that.

    I wish you hadn’t even linked to the VF trash.

    They don’t deserve the hits.

    Don’t reward bad behavior.

    The pizza was great. They’ve got a variety. We got the garlic and tomato basil.

    I got the Anniversay Beer, which was light with a twist of citrus.
