I think he got it out of himself, he seems to unassuming here. Maybe it's a form of therapy. As for girls 20 years younger, look at the hotties page and tell me most guys here wouldn't be tempted.

First Strombo, now Ghomeshi...should be interesting to see where he ends up. Hope he gets a big pay day!

Why should he? People get fired every day with zero payoff.

[uwish]

if you were fired under false pretenses of which were now be recanted by the accusator then i think you would have something to say about..wouldn't you?

People get fired all the time and usually for legitimate reasons. The CBC needs to stay out of his personal life.

[raydan]

Haven't seen his contract yet so I don't know if the reason was legitimate or not.

Gomeshi says that he presented evidence that the behavior was consensual (video?) and was then fired for behavior unbecoming a CBC host.

Knowlton Nash would not approve.

Odd position (lol) for CBC Radio to have. Given how often they've had noted pederast and NAMBLA bigwig Gerold Hannon from Ryerson as an esteemed and celebrated guest on their radio programs one would think that a host having a relationship with another adult wouldn't be a big deal to them, no matter how kinky it might have been. Can't say that I care for Ghomeshi one way or the other but if he soaked CBC for a few mil it would be fairly funny. If he'd done something wrong he wouldn't have gone public with it, and it's not like he's a Heisman trophy winner type of rapist or something that has the entire backing of a university and local police department supporting him over some helpless victim. CBC Radio host? Christ, you can go down to the homeless shelter or campus Marxist club and get a replacement for any one of them any day of the week.

When you engage in this sort of activity you will often protect yourself with a drafted contract to prove consent

Oh oh, me me me!

You wouldn't like the pay cut.

So, has anyone cried rape or is this about old-fashioned, Calvinist moralizing?

Era Levant is going to have a field day with this but then again, he probably sniffs bicycle seats in the school yard.

I've always been impressed how the CBC was able to select the best people for their hosts, and managed to always come up with visual minorities.

I guess white privilege is a myth, or the CBC was using racist hiring policies.

Either way I can't say I care if the CBC self destructs in a cycle of law suits and cries about human rights. Other than the few dollars I'd be on the hook for.

My least favourite quality about you right-wingers is your newfound penchant for baseless, completely fabricated claims and bald-faced lying. Makes me miss the days when you merely distorted, exaggerated and cherry-picked actual facts.
