....snip....

"Ghomeshi became something of a hero of mine when he famously kept his composure while interviewing the disagreeable Billy Bob Thornton. I would have lost my temper. Ghomeshi, the cool professional, instead helped him make a fool of himself. Thornton was resoundingly booed when his band opened the next night in Toronto for Willie Nelson.

It colours it for me, learning now that the cooler-thancool radio host is into roughing up women, whether consensually or not. I am not sure I could overlook this when he came on the air. Neither, apparently, could the CBC. Leave aside for the moment the relevant labour laws and contractual obligations. Ghomeshi has violated what Glen Sather, as coach of the Edmonton Oilers, was said to have imposed as his one and only rule with respect to player conduct: You don't embarrass the team."
