When Sarah Palin stumbled onto the national stage, after her selection as John McCain's running-mate, everyone scrambled to figure out what was up with Alaska's governor. A lot of the lower-48 blogosphere (and the major media that followed its lead) obsessed about Palin's family life. But Anchorage radio host Camille Conte, who is universally known in Alaska as "CC," steered the discussion toward Troopergate--the scandal that proved Palin was not the reformer her supporters claimed but a Cheney-esque abuser of power. CC's daily "Cutting Edge" show on Anchorage's Air America affiliate, News-Talk 1080/KUDO: Alaska's Progressive Voice became required fare for journalists visiting the state--she had better access than anyone else to the key players, who trusted the veteran local host--and CC turned up on radio stations across the U.S. No one else contributed as much to 2008's Palintological studies.
Congtratulations, CC!
I commented yesterday at PA about how important the KUDO team of CC, Aaron Selbig and Shannyn Moore had been to the April 2008 municipal election. And on the subject for which the Nation is honoring CC, the efforts of Linda Kellen and Andrew Halcro should also be mentioned. Here's CC at the early Autumn rally at which she spoke about the formation of Alaskans for Truth:
The other important Alaskan receiving a national award at the end of 2008, is Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin. The award-winning progressive blog, Crooks & Liars has awarded Palin their uncoveted 2008 Golden Crookies Wingnut of the Year Award. Palin beat the 2nd place candidate, Sean Hannity, by more than 2 to 1.Here's how the polling went:
Sarah Palin: 5738 (38%)
Sean Hannity: 2762 (18%)
Michelle Bachmann: 1969 (13%)
Bill Kristol: 1535 (10%)
Rush Limbaugh: 1089 (7%)
Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher: 808 (5%)
Bill O'Reilly: 781 (5%)
Mike Huckabee: 237 (2%)
Lou Dobbs: 179 (1%)
Pastor John Hagee: 144 (1%)
Congratulations, CC and Sarah!

Give me a break. CC couldn't carry Shannyn Moore's jock. The Nation has obviously not heard of Shannyn. CC is as boring as Fagan, and less informed.
More positive progressive outlook. How to lose political races in Alaska.
Anon @ #1 - I don't think this is the place for that pissing contest. I think CC deserves recognition. If Shannyn deserves more recognition, and I strongly believe she does, it will come.
is this like a murrow or something ?
