And what a great eight weeks it was

Robert Rabinovitch, architecht of that wildly successful CBC lockout you might have heard something about, was on the Current this morning with Anna-Maria Tremonti, in a vain effort to polish his image, I guess. He spent a great deal of the interview stressing how hopelessly unavoidable the whole lockout was, we need to rebuild trust with Canadians, we must find the right kind of audience, it's the quality, not the quantity, yadda yadda yadda...

Anyhoo, Anna-Maria finally gets around to asking her boss about all of the criticism he has faced lo these past couple of months, including repeated calls for his resignation from various MP's, CBC staffers, ordinary listeners, house plants, etc...

What's his response?

"Well, you should see the letters of support I got."

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!! And then, the little chunks of chewed-up raisin bran go flying across the breakfast table.

"Erm...yes. Yes indeed. I have the two of them right here."

OK, I made up that last line, but really-who is Mr. Rabinovitch kidding? This guy has been getting it from every side, even those noted fans of public broadcasting at the National Whipping Post.

And now, back to more of Just for Laughs Gags...
