Posted by Jeanne Devon on Thursday, February 12, 2015 ·
Amid a firestorm of gasps, giggles, and moral outrage, Alaskas Governor Bill Walker (I) has withdrawn from consideration an appointee to the Alaska Commission on Judicial Conduct.
Jeff Landfields own conduct came under scrutiny after several Facebook photos came to light, which the governors spokesperson Grace Jang said were disrespectful and misogynistic, a characterization Landfield disputes. No specific images were cited, but Landfields personal Facebook page is a cornucopia of party pics, poolside Las Vegas romps, and boozy musings.
The position Landfield hoped to take for the Walker administration handles complaints filed against state judges an unpaid appointment which would have required legislative confirmation. Landfield currently chairs the Anchorage Federation of Community Councils, and is a former candidate for the Alaska State Senate. He ran a primary challenge against Republican incumbent Lesil McGuire in 2012. She still occupies her seat, currently chairs the Judiciary Committee, and would have overseen the confirmation requiring a vote of the full legislative body.

(36,063 posts)1. P.L.E.A.S.E. no more reality TeeVee from Alaska!!
For that matter PLEASE no more fake reality teevee.
Alaska needs a power of attorney to protect it from itself until it gets beyond average intellect of an 8 year old.

he must have some power. otherwise, I fail to see the attraction. he's fat and out of shape. also gross.
