A.G on with Cianci,,, One Degree of Seperation...

L

lawman360

Gordon Liddy is a convicted felon. Most law enforcement won't go on his show.
R.I.s A.G. Patrick Lynch was on Vincent (Buddy) Cianci's show today. Cianci is a convicted felon.
A Racketeering charge to boot. 10 years ago, NO WAY, would an A.G. go anywhere near a person on parole or probation.Whats the big difference now? The Governor was on also.The way I see it,,Rewarding this Felon by both their appearance is I suppose a sign of the times and disgusting.
 
Rewarding...? So I take it your one of those peopl who thinks that the kid who steals a candy bar from the corner store should be jailed for life. Buddy broke the law, and served time for it. Now, he's trying to make a living, don't get down on people like that. DePetro's got a shady past, does he not deserve to interview the governor or anyone else?
 
Depetro has no criminal record. This isn't about him anyway shape or form. Sounds to me like you think commiting felonies is no big thing. I beg to differ.Patrick Lynch is the head Cop in R.I. not the Icecream man.
In the Old Days, people Earned Respect, or Lost Respect. Not anymore Ay?

Guy, this is Rhode Island. No scratch that. This is AMERICA. In America when someone breaks the law and the community has no problem with it they are still accepted.
 
Tell that to Steven Tocco...recalled because he got jammed up over 10 years ago?? Or just recalled because he's incompetent....

I doubt he was incompetent...
 
There are other things afoot in Smithfield for Tocco, which is why he is out.

Back on topic....as everyone was saying before "Oh, no politico is going to be on Buddy's show" and I said that was wrong....Buddy will continue to have these guests and I think will actually shine big as Operation Dollar Bill gets deeper and deeper.

Also, A.G. isn't the top cop....he's the top Lawman. He prosecutes, he isn't out arresting
 
I'm kind of back and forth on this one. I happen to like Buddies show. The one thing I really don't like are his personal insults and attacks on people. I guess thats just his personality.
About the whole Buddy the creepy criminal.. Ok, I get that. I get it because Dan Yorke went after Sec of State A. Ralph Mollis for just having FRIENDS who were mob people or had criminal records. Mollis doesn't. So, why all this RIGHTOUS indignation about Mollis , but you give the ACTUAL criminal person a pass. Thats what cofuses the hell out of me.
 
Never mind Mollis, just heard the News. Buckles Milise was just being exposed as a convicted felon right hand man of former Mayor Cianci. Seems Buckles wants a liguor License for a mobbed up Strip Club. Funny 10 News doing the story and by mention , wacking. Cianci on the WPRO feed.

Walter, I love how you glossed over the fact that the license was approved by the licensing board during Cicilline's administration by two board members appointed by Cicilline and that Mr. Melise is noted of having at least 2-3 meetings with 3 different members of Cicilline's administration and his lawyer is Ciclilline's father. It is still Buddy's fault, right? He was in NJ at the time cooling his heels....
 
I didn't 'gloss over' anything. Buddy has the talk show. Not Cicilline. this forum is about radio and the people that work in it. I didn't name the the Police involved or the name of the club either. In fact the story does link Cianci to Melise by their past involvements.
 
Right; but the story is deeper than that and the story was being discussed on the radio, as you mentioned. Buckles conviction is almost 25 years old...the reason it is being brought up now is because of what is CURRENTLY going on in a NEW investigation. I hear other contemporaries of Cicilline on the air...Laffey was up until he lost and I have heard and seen Napolitano on a couple of times over the recent weeks, Avedisian has been on air a number of times as has Charles Lombardi, why Cicilline won't go on air is a bit of mystery; but possibly could be for the reason that he can't control what may show up in a call and doesn't want to take a chance. When he was mayor-Buddy, Gov Carcieri, AG Lynch, Gov Almond, Mayor Laffey all have embraced the talk shows for their gain and for the past 2-3 years, all David has been good for is a quick 5-10 second sound bite on the news. This story, which seems to have some legs, could be a reason why. And that is how Plunderdome & Dollar Bill both started.
 
Wknd,

You wouldn't take your stance or even care about this if Buddy worked for Clear Channel, Hall Broadcasting, Entercom, or Brown Broadcasting.
 
David Cicilline does go on talk radio. He's on the Helen Glover show every month.
He told one of Helen's callers the other hosts don't welcome him, so he's exclusive to Helen.

Cicilline is lying thru his teeth re not being welcome. Dan Yorke has been after him to be on since he got elected, he's been ducking him ever since. Also, both Buddy and Dan have on air invitations and he still hasn't been on. Being exclusive to Helen is like having a tree fall in the forest ratingswise from what I am told. Not listening to a show doesn't excuse me from knowing that he is on Helen's show; but when/how do they promo it? How often is he on? I have listened in and out on occasion to Helen's show and have never heard mentioned once that he was going to be on...

Sally-As far as if Buddy was on Clear Channel, Greater Media, Hall, Entercom, etc; yes, I would give the same argument as I did listen to Buddy during his first stint in radio back on WHJJ. I am on record stating that Imus got a raw deal and it was stupid to fire him-see the huge decline in ad revenues for CBS.

Let me reitterate for the millionth time....I have never worked for Citadel, very few of my former co workers are still there from when I was there thru Telemedia, fewer still of the people I call my friends. There are plenty of things I find wrong w/ the cluster there (I think the Score needs to be retooled or flipped, that Lite really needs to expand the X-mas library and watch the repetition (I have heard the same songs way too many times over the past couple of days), let alone that I think going all Christmas is a stupid idea, whether Coast is doing it or not aside, I don't think John D is a good fit for PRO mornings, I think the voicetracking all together is silly, that the PRO night shift is still open...shall I go on?
 
Well it could be David does Helen's show because "Mr. Glover" works for him in the city of Providence. Maybe not though.
 
Does anyone know what MR Glover does for Cicilline?
Does WHJJ make this known?
