TIL, George W. Bush's speech-writer is a "leftist"

You can lead a horse to water...

There is no defending that piece of human excrement that's why. He was a crap president who spent most of his time playing golf, downplayed the pandemic causing thousands of needless deaths, mocked the disabled, cheated on every single one of his wives, and enriched himself by hosting political events at his own hotels.

Anyone who thinks Trump deserves defending probably is the one that should re-examine their own morals and ideology.
 

hehehe...Vassy cut her chops in Alberta...meaning she's about as balanced as a 3-legged rhino....there is no honest way to make a reasonable case that Trump is a victim or being treated unfairly...unless she had one of his cult followers or a Republican looking to be re-elected on as a guest to spew their bullshyt propaganda...Trump is a bottom feeder and will be proven a criminal...history will look back on him with disgust and ridicule.

I think she did make reference to it with that now infamous photo at the top of the show, but yes, the rest of the program left it out entirely.

I believe it mostly tapes on Friday and Saturday, with a short availability for any new info if needed added late on show day. But for the most part, it's in the can by the first day of the weekend. That's why she's never on the radio Fridays, prepping for Question Period. 

Frankly given the news cycle of late, I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. 

Perhaps switch things up a bit for Vassy's show on 1010 for the next four to five months.

Vassy helms the show Mondays and Wednesdays, Scott Reid does Tuesdays and Thursdays and Amanda Galbraith does her regular Friday show.

This gives Vassy lots of time for her other work, keeps both the radio/tv sides running smoothly and allows listeners/viewers to stay up to date with the most important unfolding stories. And producers and talent don't end up looking like they can't handle their workload.

With the political landscape as unsettled and volatile as it is, several hosts could be a good temporary solution for everyone.

I think this board could do better by referring to her as Kapelos if we're going to respect male hosts by calling them Oakley, Fury, Mulroney, etc.

I'm new here but used to work in the radio business in Toronto for about seven years. I must say that I'm somewhat taken aback by not only the negative tone of some of the comments on various topics here, but also the use of unnecessary profanity (Chrisphen). I’ve always been a believer that open dialogue is a way to offer differing opinions, but some of the comments here are disrespectful and not constructive.

So sorry.

I hear ya, but it wasn't long ago this place was an all-out brawl every day. In retrospect, it's amazing it survived. But yes I believe it's better to keep things civil.
 

As Dale said, Stephanie, you should seen it what it was like a few years back. But, for the most part, we are all adults here, opinions are going to vary and be written in the spur of the moment. It's a message board on radio, it is what it is.
