More Embarrassing Than Palin?
WC was in the Lower 48 recently, and every conversation with an Outsider, sooner or later, turned to Alaska’s Shame, The Quitter. It’s very embarrassing.
But a new Alaska figure is emerging who has the potential to be even more embarrassing than The Quitter. You might not have thought that was possible. WC might have even thought it was impossible. But then along came Gordon Warren Epperly. Juneauites will know him from his incessant letters to the Juneau Empire.
To call him a “gadfly” is to give mortal insult to Insecta in general and Diptera in particular. Some folks may find maggots disgusting, but calling Citizen Epperly a gadfly gives maggots a bad name.
Citizen Epperly has filed a complaint with the Director of the Division of Elections seeking to keep President Obama’s name of the ballot in Alaska. WC has provided that link to his vindictive, ignorant and puerile racist screed, but WC also warns you to prepare to be outraged. This is seriously far over into tin foil hat territory.
Not all citizens are apparently satisfied with having their racism and misogyny be a subtext to their hatred. Citizen Epperly brings them front and center.
Worse, national bloggers have reported on it. Dr. Conspiracy has picked up on it and posted a deconstruction.
WC isn’t sure that the State of Alaska is paying Gail Fenumiai, the Director of the Division of Elections, enough money. First she had to put up with Joe Miller’s incessant lawsuits; now this. She’s good. Her decisions are proven sound. She needs a raise if she has to deal with this kind of crap.
Can Citizen Epperly please take his medications, don his tin foil hat and crawl back under his rock?
Mr Epperly is not more embarressing than whatzername.
We have never elected him to office as we did whatzername.
If we ever did elect him for something , even here in our Borough, we would have cause for shame and embarressment.
Til then we just need to keep an eye on him.
When I was checking up on various of his latest goofnagles, prior to this current one, I was surprised to find his gobbeldygook on a couple right wing “constitutionalist” sites. Search “Epperly Roberts oath”
What we have suffered here in Juneau with him as a neighbor appears to be more common around the country than I would ever have thought. I poked round in a couple of those places for a bit – holy moley!
That worries me.
