So after a fish policy debate in Kodiak. KTUU reporter Grace Jang managed to corral Sullivan and ask him how much backing he was getting from the Koch brothers.
Take a look at his response.
“Look, um, we’re getting broad based support from Alaskans first and foremost. That’s where I’m focused on in this race. And getting out the message with regard to what we’re doing in this race.”
Well there's an answer that holds to the proud Sarah Palin tradition of word salad that we have all come to know and loathe.
Did anybody else notice that Sullivan got a little green around the gills after Jang asked her question? And I swear that pause was pregnant longer than Palin was before the "delivery" of her last child.
Speaking of pregnant pauses check this response after a reporter with the New Republic asked Sullivan about a Palin endorsement:
When I asked if he wanted the endorsement of Sarah Palin, who appointed him to be the state’s attorney general in 2009, he waited a few awkward beats before saying: “I want the endorsement of everybody. Anybody who believes in less government, more freedom, and pushing back on the Obama administration’s overreach into our lives.”
Do you hear that Sarah?
Sullivan wants the endorsement of everybody, possibly even including you.
How about it? Unless of course you are no longer interested in supporting candidates and causes in our great state that is.
Come on, I double dog dare you.
(H/T to Alaska Commons.)
Seriously, the Anchorage Police Department haven't released their report of the #Palinbrawl yet? Not blaming you, Gryphen, but ugh! WTF?
ReplyDeleteI've been asking about this today, too, and went back to re-read the email Gryphen received last week. Taking it literally, there's no promise or expressed expectation that a statement or report would be released today.
DeleteKey words and phrases:
"EXPECT"
"REVIEW completed by the end of next week"
Disappointing.

Hi Jesse,
The municipal prosecutor’s office informed me on Monday they expect to have their review completed by the end of next week. No new information has been released at this time.
Thank you,

Plus no promise that their review would be made public.
DeleteIt sounds like Sullivan doesn't want the stink of Sarah Palin anywhere near him.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is a liar and a deadbeat! Plus, being terribly slow on his feet to answer questions!
ReplyDeleteAn endorsement from Sarah Palin will really be the kiss of death for him (which I suspect he knows!). Come on Palin - give him one of your big endorsements and appear w/him in Alaska!
Vote for Senator Mark Begich - the true Alaskan that has a proven history of working for Alaskan for years.
Why don't liberals care about shadiness in their own party? about lib states where you don't need ID to vote? About huge lies in transparency in this admin?
ReplyDeleteWhy can't you stick to a topic of a thread, @4:44? Is this the Rogue herself? LOL - no comprehension or cohesion.
DeleteWhat the hell is a "lib state?"
Delete"lies in transparency?"
How far into that bottle of wine are you?

DeleteI've been voting since 1958. All I have ever needed was my drivers license. When we moved we had to show a utility bill from our new residence also since we were on the books. We have lived in very Red Counties. Was an election officer for 35 years. I turned in a neighbor who tried to come back after they moved to vote in our precinct. They "forgot" to register in their new place. Sorry Charlie. They never came back. Today I vote by mail-in as I'm crippled and can't stand in long lines with my walker. I had to send a photocopy of my drivers license and utility bill to do it. My husband got a free ID at the Drivers License Bureau and he voted before he became to ill to do it. We have always had to have ID to vote. You just can't walk-in and fill out a ballot. We had blind people vote with assistance by filling out a paper and signing that the person who assists them will do only as instructed. As a judge I assisted a blind lady for years to vote. I had Gary Hart vote in my precinct and he had to show his ID. One person - one vote. It is the law and you always have to show ID. Every state, regardless of their affiliation leaning has voter ID. And yes, it's hard for people who are old and don't drive to get to a drivers license/official ID place to get one. If you are so worried about the poor voting, I feel sorry for you. I have taken old, poor R and D's to get an ID. If they didn't have the money, I would pay for them, regardless of their affiliation. Voter fraud is a joke. People playing with voting computers is reality. Does George Bush/Karl Rove light up any lights for you?
DeleteBDIB
Delete4:44 -- there are no states that do not require ID and registration.
DeleteIf you know of any that do, please give the names right here. Alleging that your fantasy exists doesn't make it so.
Brisket
DeletePUT DOWN THE BOTTLE!
I live in California and I've NEVER had to show an ID to vote. Ever. They SAY you have to have one, and I've always come prepared, but no one has ever asked me for it. I have to find myself on the list and point to my address, but no ID required and I've voted for 45 years.
DeleteVoter suppression people like 4:44 don't want to require ID to vote. They want to require ID that people do not have or that is difficult to get.
DeleteThey do not want to protect the system from voter fraud.
They want to keep people who likely will not vote for them from voting. Period.
Those are valid questions no one will answer? Instead you all atttack attack attack and bully
ReplyDelete4:45 - Dan Sullivan, is that you? Wimp!
DeleteAre you talking to yourself?
DeleteHey Dan, Sarah Palin will give you a blow and hand job if you utter her name to an on air reporter.
DeletePut down the bottle!!!
DeleteNo, we're just giving you your own medicine. You are fucking stupid.
DeleteDan this is Sarah. I'll let you motorboat my Belmonts if you let my Toad suck your wankette!
Delete"Those are valid questions no one will answer?"
Delete----------------------------------------
They are NOT valid questions.
Sarah supports Walker. Id BET on it
ReplyDelete4:44 PM Because there are far more blatant problems within the Republican party. Plus, they are not the party they once were. Sarah Palin, et al have literally screwed it up for them!
ReplyDeleteO/T Here in Michigan we have 2 big candidates funded by the Koch brothers-Rick" I am a wedding dress, girls" Synder and Terri " I am a women and women don't want equal pay" Land.
ReplyDeleteThere opponents have been running a lot of ads pointing out what the Koch brothers have done-dumping tar sands by products on the Detroit River, buying a paper mill, shutting it down, everyone lost their jobs etc.
All of sudden there have been ads for Koch Industries-with the happy farmer, baby in diapers (paper industry) etc. A truly " all American, we are wonderful, come work for us" type of ad (think ronnie regan ).
It looks like the Koch brothers are trying to do damage control and was wondering if anyone in other parts of the country are seeing the same ad?
Similar attempt to put a nice polish on their shitty past deeds.
DeleteUSA needs to politically fumigate all the Kochroaches asap.
Sullivan sure doesn't look like a candidate that is running a successful campaign.
ReplyDeleteAnd gee, where is our former 1/2 term Gov and US VP candidate? Why aren't we seeing TV ads, hearing radio spots, reading support pieces from her about her former AG and Lt. Gov?
What, don't they want her endorsement?
They don't want to pay her
DeleteI can hardly wait to see the 'broad based support' he thinks he'll be getting from Alaskans! He'll have to disclose the information to all of us. I know my friends in Alaska do not support him!
ReplyDeleteSo far, his donors are his Mommy and Daddy (very rich folks that appear to have a very spoiled son!), the Koch brothers and funds that he raised back east (or in Ohio). Plus, I would suspect the national Republican party will throw in funds as well as the Republican party in Alaska.

ReplyDeleteI am not clicking on links with no information about what they are.
DeleteActually, it's pretty funny. Todd and Track wearing the same clothes, you know, like most dads and sons do when the son's a toddler or on the same team.
DeleteAn observation, and chime in if you want. If the Koch brothers are Tea Party, why did John McCain show up in Oregon? Sullivan isn't Tea Party, why are there Koch dollars behind him? This is SUCH a racket!
ReplyDeleteHunter S. Thompson: “The assholes who run politics in this country have become so mesmerized by the Madison Avenue school of campaigning that they actually believe, now, that all it takes to become a Congressman or a Senator – or even a President – is a nice set of teeth, a big wad of money, and a half-dozen Media Specialists.”
DeleteSarah from the Valley endorse Sullivan from Ohio? Buahahahaha
ReplyDeleteHe knows exactly what her last mistake was before she quit.
She knows that he knows her secret.
Hell will freeze before Sarah from the Valley endorses Dan from Ohio.
Hell will freeze before Dan from Ohio will ask Sarah fro the Valley to endorse him.
Hell will freeze before you will ever see a picture of these two shaking hands. That is, shaking hands after she quit.

ReplyDeletelol wut?
Deletelol wtf?!
DeleteShampooing is HARD! I wonder where Willow Bianca was washing her, and why?
DeleteSomeone should really make a montage of Republicans running away (or being "ushered away") from reporters and put it on youtube.
ReplyDeleteThey all run, Boscoe!
DeleteEvery last one of them.
What's stopping you?
Delete"Anonymous11:13 PM
DeleteWhat's stopping you?"
---------------------------
Maybe Boscoe doesn't know how to do that? Maybe other people might know how?
I triple dog dare you Sarah, you chickenshit!
ReplyDeleteTrack? Trackmarks that picked custody of guns over his child. Yeah, some Dad.
ReplyDeleteOn another thread today, can't find it now, someone mentioned Sarah's Facebook and all the "fake likes" she receives. Well, now, you can kiss them good bye Sarah !
ReplyDelete***Facebook said Friday it has stepped up its battle against spammers who promise to deliver "likes" to its members, and warned users on using such scams.
The world's most popular social network said that to date, it has obtained legal judgments of nearly $2 billion against fraudulent activities on Facebook. It was not clear how much of that was actually collected.
Facebook's moves appeared to counter concerns that users -- including politicians and companies selling products -- are buying "likes" to make them appear more popular. And it is targeting a cottage industry which seeks to deliver these results to Facebook members, often promising "10,000 likes" or more for a fee.***
Bawaahh, even the other loony tunes don't want to be seen with Sarah. Always the bridesmaid and never the bride and now the bridesmaid spots are going to someone else because Sarah to too long in the tooth.
ReplyDeleteGive it time. The Koch brothers made Sarah go all the way to Kansas to embarrass herself by endorsing the RINO, they may still force her to endorse Dirty Dan the carpetbagger man. And she'll do it for the money, the same reason she does everything else.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it has been rather folly how she continues to make an @ss out of herself and hype her effed up family. Who would do that?
DeleteI wonder if these people will ever understand that laughing at and laughing with are two totally separate entities. Christians? LOL
Work it, Palins, I just giggle every time you come out to play. The PTSD video after the brawl was hysterical, please try again infinity.
Hey, $arah, for what you wanted to be and how you turned out famous-wise, was it worth it? You sure did get your $$ but one hell of a reputation. Have fun!
Here's something people often ignore
ReplyDeletehttp://postimg.org/image/s2cbspw17/
fine to post but rilly shud have the full palin email descriptor
DeletePRA GSP.....
Definitely need a palinese decoder ring.
DeleteSarah please come help Dan! The polls are slipping and he needs you!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of man want's to admit he's a Kochsucker?
ReplyDeleteJoe Miller would in a heartbeat.
DeleteTo tell the truth, I think Lisa Murkowski's support and ads for Dan Sullivan are just as harmful for her AND him as anything Sarah could come up with. Lisa didn't realize what a good thing she and Alaska had going right across the aisle in Congress. What a wimp. I'm done with her.
ReplyDeletejesus, did you get a load of Baby Huey, who whisked him away?
ReplyDeleteWhat this is about is keeping the money in Alaska...ask Sarah what that is all about...it made her resign...and will send her to jail and no one can save her now...she had a chance and blew it!
ReplyDeleteShe won't go to jail. They never do, but it is quite fun watching her do the monkey dance. and she gets worse and worse at it. LOVED the brawl, that's who they are.
DeleteSullivan was raised in a suburb of Cleveland. He was educated at Harvard and Georgetown University. Where does he get this "git-n" dialect? I don't "git" it.
ReplyDeleteLittle Georgie Bush was born in New England, wasn't he? His daddy bought him spots in Yale and Harvard, yet he never learned how to speak correctly. His "cowboy" act was just that - an act. He had no class or even an educated manner of speaking. Now he is telling the world that his brother Jeb wants to be president. The "smart one" in the Bush family of crooks. IF he is smart, then he is the ONLY one in that vile family. The entire Bush family has ripped off taxpayers for years, every last one of them. W was an embarassment to this country, and should be in prison for war crimes, instead of painting assinine portraits of himself trying to wash the blood off.
ReplyDeleteSullivan published a commentary on the Opinion page of the Alaska Dispatch News today entitled "We must return to engaged leadership"! All he does is talk about President Obama, the Obama Administration and some negative toward Senator Mark Begich (because he sees him as 'working with President Obama'!)
ReplyDeleteIt's so obvious he knows little about the issues of Alaska, which should have been his focus!
It's quite apparent in reading his thoughts that IF he were ever elected (which I don't think he will be) he'd act no differently than the rest of the Republicans currently serving in the U.S. Congress. It's obvious from the article he'd do nothing more than obstruct which we know to be the method of operation by Republicans since 2008!
He'd get (not 'earn') a salary and benefits provided by the taxpayers for doing nothing.
Senator Mark Begich will have my vote! Dan Sullivan is the LAST person we need representing Alaskans in Washington D.C. He is all about Dan Sullivan w/zero regard for Alaskans!.
Poor Guy, just the mere mention of Koch Bros. gave him an ice cream headache/moose in the headlights look. Can anyone imagine him debating someone fast on their feet, like Liz Warren?
ReplyDeleteI never thought I'd say this, but please, Sarah, drop everything and endorse the guy next time he's in public. Or do a nice facebook manifesto, what have you got to loose, right?????
