KTAR Banned at ASU

[DrAkbar]

The Nurse and I want to know:

Can KT'R stretch this self promoting story for a fourth day in a row (Mon)??

Will KOOL play Brown Eyed Girl as many times as this fluff piece leads KT'R news?

Has the Master Blogger discovered a gimmick that'll give him the kind of bump KEZ gets with Xmas Music?

Could Sheriff Joe arrest illegals if they're caught listening to talk radio for normal people?

My guess is they can play this up for at least one more week. As soon as they find out the specifics of the student's complaint (probably has to do with illegal immigration), KT'R can interview important newsmakers on the illegal immigration issue--Da Sherrif, for example--and keep milking the story a bit longer.

Of course, what will ultimately kill it for KT'R is Mac Watson and Gaydos. Anyone who listens to their shows will realize that KT'R is really a talk station about infamous and illegal girlfriends, not politics and immigration. ;D

...dunno -- how many illegals do listen to KPHX (nowadays, that is; we still have a few folks straggling in the front door asking about La Super X)?...

...speaking of Arpaio, I joked on the air Sunday morning that everybody should get the current issue of the New Times before Arpaio burns every leftover copy because he has a thing for Suzy Homewrecker (one of the Derby Dames, with prominent tattoos and body piercings, pictured on the cover). Knowing that Sheriff Joey monitors our every word on KPHX, I hope that didn't get Suzy put on Joey's Enemies List ;D ...

Hi Lagend City

Au Contrair, on Saturday night. I had a great hour or two on this subject. Took another side. Took the "was someone right to complain about something they don't like or with which they disagree and can't turn off or escape" side.

Now, having said that, whoever said "ban the station" was way over the top but we should thank them. What a great promotion for the station and Ankarlo.

DR. There I go again, I guess I just can't help myself.

What happened to Jayaz?

Lose the password?

It was a one day story, flogged into oblivion by a station that has to resort to stunts.

Send Darryl back to Mexico, I need to hear some more xenophobic gabacho nonsense.

Actually, if the Master Blogger wants to drag this "constitutional crisis" on a bit more in the news, he should get Bonneville to pony-up some money and run their own shuttle bus service (with complimentary Aunt Carlos coffee postum mugs and t-shirts) for a week at ASU! Now that would be great PR!

I had a power surge of some kind and I could not get back on as jayaz. Oddly enough, the board still says welcome jayaz. So much for my identity crisis.


KOHS

That is a great idea. I am serious. A week of the Ankarlo bus on the campus. Maybe Mariachis
entertain. It is a really good idea.

Hey, my PR degree is finally beginning to pay off! ;D Mariachis would be a nice touch. I'm guessing the guys who used to play Mata's (just down the road from Bill Johnson's Big Apple in Mesa) are looking for work. Well, as long as da Sherrif didn't get to them first.

OK, I just don't want no pseudo jay! ;D

As for a week of Ankarlo on a university campus? It can only make him smarter, and the students dumber.

Stunts are just that. About as lasting as cotton candy in the rain, and about as nutritious.

When will Aunt Carlos referee a Cage Fight between Sheriff Joe and Mayor Flash Phil Gordon? Nurse Jeff and I'll gladly pay TMISU top dollar to attend, but are hesitant to drive there....the sheriff is clamping down on cracked tail lights and our '76 Gremlin is easy prey!

Wouldn't work, Aunt Carlos' lips are permanently attached to Sheriff Joke's posterior.

Arpaio is a loathsome, grandstanding halfwit. He is maybe the most dangerous kind of politician. And he does not care at all about making Maricopa County's communities safer and more ordered. I believe this. So I'm conflicted. Because I am opposed to illegal immigration. I don't know if Arpaio is, really. The issue just gets him a helluva a lot of pub. If polling numbers supported it, he'd go after golf instructors.

I'm pretty sure Gordon was one (I know Rimsza was) of those that wanted to scrap "Sky Harbor" for "Goldwater" in the aftermath of the Senator's death, despite the polls that showed a clear majority of locals opposed that. How do you insist on doing something that the people who elected you are very clearly and vocally opposed to you doing? Thank goodness that didn't go through. But at the time, I circled his name in red, in the back of my brain. Bad politician, bad! You serve the public, public servant! Sit! Sit!

So I'm glad Gordon is a thorn in Arpaio's side. He's coming out of my doghouse, so to speak.

Arpaio can never redeem himself, in my estimation. And he's only clouding the issue and inciting the fringes with his stupid, ham-handed, racially-tinged crusading.

But in the court of public opinion (the Doc's Cage Fight) the J.E. Hoover-with-the-cognitive-ability-God-awards-to-the-garden-slug wins.

'Cuz we likes that sheriff. He don't make us think real hard. And he's gettin' after them brown people.

A big reason Arpaio enjoys popularity is because of the local media's fawning treatment of him, despite the abundance of evidence that shows blatant corruption.

Blatant corruption? Where's the proof?

You don't happen to work for The New Times or anything like that???

This is getting pretty close to TIO.

Sorry, somethings stuck in my keyboard and I'm having trouble posting. Waugh is right. I've heard J.D. Hayworth and Mike Broomhead drooling over Sheriff Joe this past week till it was sickening. Broomhead chuckled over Joe's antics like he was a lovable uncle and said his "brother in law enforcement" thought he was great. Well, he wouldn't if he was one of Joe's deputies, ask them. I'm conservative but I'm not for not allowing inmates with broken bones to have them treated, or even given an aspirin. I'm not for starvation diets(of food labeled "not for human consumption"-ask the jail cooks) for people who are already coming down from an addiction. Immigration should have been dealt with fifteen years ago. Pulling people over for broken lights is not doing anything but putting on a show. When these issues are brought up to that clown and his supporters, the answer is always "then people shouldn't get in trouble". Get real-people will ALWAYS get in trouble! If they didn't, we wouldn't need windbag politicians and radio talk show hosts. Treating them less than human or lording it over them (Like having the female chain gang wear "I'm a drug addict" shirts in public) will only make more trouble. The old "Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely" principle is at work here, and some members of the media refuse to see it and just keep kissing this guy's big butt.

Pattiwacki,

If you were posting in support of Waugh you didn't present an iota of proof of Waugh's claims of corruption. As he hasn't posted again with any evidence I'll assume he's just another fringe blowhard or perhaps he was a 'victim' of El Hefe's law enforcement.

As much of an ego and photo-op as he is, he has done a lot more than any of his predessors and I, for one, appreciate his efforts. I can take photo-op'ing and a giant ego if he delivers, and unlike El Presidente Dumbya, Joe delivers.

As far as how he runs his jails......I spent almost two years in Vietnam under far worse conditions than any inmate. And I wasn't a criminal. Sorry, no compassion for these whiners and repeat offenders.

Examples?

* Preferential treatment for DUI "elite" offenders, who "coincidentally" get special treatment and country club like digs as opposed to the rabble - things are different for them than the rest of the rabble. Go ahead and dis the New Times all you want, but John Dougherty did an excellent job of journalism on Arpaio when he wrote there.

* 32K in RICO funds at play in Honduras

* All the lawsuits settled (at expense of taxpayer) for wrongful deaths AND for wrongful terminations as there have been a number of whistleblowers who have reached settlement after being dismissed after bringing up sheriff malfeasance.

* Blocking and concealing from the public, records that, by law, should be public information.

* Blood on Arpaio Hands, And it Costing us Money

* Unaccounted finances with a special shield from public inquiry

And that's just the tip of the iceberg… …go talk to some deputies (off the record of course, for they would pay mightily in consequences for speaking out) who arn't part of Joe's "inner circle" and get their feelings about America's toughest sheriff…

The Sheriff himself has compiled a record heavily laden with odd instances of hypocrisy and casual corruption:

*Five years ago, under the threat of a federal lawsuit, Arpaio was compelled to shut down a live webcast of female inmates using the bathroom.


*During a 2004 Republican primary against former Mesa Police Chief, Daniel Saban, Arpaio leaked unsubstantiated rape allegations against his political rival to a local television station.

*In the course of a prostitution sting four years ago, Arpaio authorized undercover deputies and members of his volunteer “posse” to disrobe and even engage in sexual contact with prostitutes as part of their “investigation” -- conduct that, if carried out by private citizens, would have earned them a stay in Arpaio's tent city. In fact, although most of the 70 people arrested in the “sting” were released without charges, but a handful of customers were prosecuted for conduct more or less identical to that of Arpaio's “investigators.”

I've always hated the Blowhard...er, I mean Sheriff. he seems to be a bully and have an almost psychotic need for attention. I consider his abuse of prisoners to be disgusting, and he's IMO a poor example of a law enforcement officer.

I also Don't see why those bus drivers should subject their passengers to ANY radio station.
