The Jockey???? How about the Convicted Felon.............

Am I the only one who thinks it's disgusting and lowlife for Vinny Cianci to call his Handicapped screener
"the Jockey"? I've been told Joe, is a fine young hard working man. Yet Vinny , seeing something to make fun of, simply can't resist. Spanky, how would you like it, if Ronny called you the 2 time CONVICTED FELON everyday and played the sound of a Jail door slamming?

MRS Haynes, you're the 'boss' there at WPRO, correct? I've been reading you're cutting the little guys and girls at WPRO. How much did you cut Buddy (Spanky) the convicted felon?
 
Buddy from what I hear will be mayor again after 2012 when hes eligible. Even he might run for Govenor in 2010. His probation applies to city office not federal. Thats what Im hearing his plans are. If you like it or not hes going back in office one way or another.
 
Buddy could easily be Mayor of Providence again.

As for the topic started here, I'm surprised the Providence Journal hasn't gone after Buddy, for anti Gay remarks on a daily basis and the belittling remarks about his producer. One of the many reasons I'm Liberal in my politics, is because I believe going after Gays (Mayor Cicilline) or the Challenged ( Buddys Producer) has no place anywhere.

Buddys smart and I enjoy his insights. I too wish he'd keep away from the other things.

Eh, Joe loves the name and the attention. He was beaming with pride during the whole "Vote for the Jockey" election thing. He's got no problem whatsoever with Buddy or Ron.

Also Cianci has a contract so I'm pretty sure he's losing no vacation time.

Are you talking about the Jockey? Because The Jockey isn't the producer, he only call screens for both Buddy and Dan(8 hours of call screening... takes a special person to do that!!}

As for Nick, why are we calling him "The Challenged"? He seems quite proficient at his job.

Worm082. Buddy ran for Governor back in 1980. And he lost by huge numbers to Governor J. Joseph Garrahy. Who at that time was very popular.
Even though Buddy is well known here in RI. Most people consider him as Mayor of Providence. And nothing else. Could he run in 2012? Sure. But would
he want to risk another political loss trying again for Governor? Doubtful. His best bet for anything political is Providence.

Look at who authored the post, got a huge personal agenda against Buddy, so no surprise here.
If there was an ignore posted feature here like on other boards, I'd be more than happy to untilize it.

I hate to see people at the Trail getting hosed. They are good people. Isn't Buddy's salary 300,000 plus by the newspapers account? So, you people at Wpro are all chipping in to pay for his salary. If Buddy *donated* 20,000 of his pay, nobody would suffer at Wpro.

Wknd and some others, are you Repubilcans? Cause you always defend the rich, corrupt person. Not the little person. Seems you look down on them.

I'll defend the rich.. There are just as many corrupt democrats, (since you want to make this political!). Perhaps Jack Reid, would like to take up an invitation to appear on WPRO or WHJJ and answer questions about the $2.7 million he picked up from members of the industry his commitee was supposed to oversee... Maybe Barney Frank would like to take questions one morning on WSAR and explain his hand in the financial meltdown..

Should be noted - I have never been employed by anyone with less money that me.

Perhaps you can explain Baracks trickle-up theory! Does that mean next time I take the exit 19 ramp to Eddy Street, by the hospitals, one of the homeless folks walks over to my car and gives me a dollar?

Merry Christmas

OMG!! I was talking about BUDDY and FRAID and HANES!! vs, all the poor hard working little people who are getting hurt at Wpro!! And you start talking about BARNEY FRANK!

Tell me JAZZ and TOLDUSO, are you people on Buddy's payroll ?, or do you PURPOSELY TRY and deflect the topics against Buddy to other areas?
 
Like I can see St Pierre playing jail doors slamming! I'm not 85 , so I dont listen to The Bud Eye.
As for the kid Joe 'loving' being called the Jockey, whats he gonna say, F U Buddy and Ron? Give me a break.

I guess Bud Eye will be calling Barbara Haynes, 'Hillary on her Broom' on Monday right? Or maybe Paul Giammarco gets called ' Pig Vomit', right? Well.. WELL?? Yea, I THOUGHT so.



Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

award, why bother throwing us under the bus? Seeing as you don't know me, why don't you stop trying to classify me.
Yes, formerly being a low on the totem pole person on the Trail, I feel for them. What Buddy makes or has in his contract is irrelevant (along w/ Ron, Gio, Kim, David Jones, Heather, et al)...look around you, read a paper, watch the news-this is happening in almost every industry in America (WE ARE IN A RECESSION!). As far as the poor hard working little people...writing has been on the wall for year, radio is not an industry to get into....things have changed dramaticaly in the last 15 years....but you knew that already
 
Wknd 92, I didn't mention your name. Wknd92, I didn't mention your name! Wknd 92, I didn't mention your name!
There, I figure if I say THREE times, it may sink in. Buddys salary comes out of Wpro's coffers, period, end of story. With my own ears I heard ******* at Wpro say,"Covering Buddys Salary is a big nut for us to cover".
While Buddy cashes those big checks, it's at a cost to the little people at Wpro. I don't f****ing like it, ok.

You're cold hearted 92,(Now saying you by name) YOU are throwing the WORTH of those great little people at Wpro under the Bus. You say, Oh come on, it's going on everywhere. Yea, that sure as CRAP doesn't make it right. Sorry man, I just think ever since Buddy Cianci came to Wpro, it's gone to the dogs. I'm sorry, if I'm barking up a storm, I just hate injustice.

No - you made a general sweeping comment about rich corrupt republicans.. I was pointing out there are many corrupt democrats too... Can you say Illinois?

I am in no-ones pocket..

Buddy has been convicted - and served his time to the community. I thought in the US system of justice that meant the slate is clean. If Citadel think he is worth 300K/year, then good luck to Buddy for getting a lucrative contract.

Any of the 'little' people (your words) who dont like the size of their paycheck, have options.. Grin and bear it, improve their skills to be worth more, or get out and find something that pays better. Noone is holding a gun to their heads..

i only had to read half the post before i started shaking my head....... buddys salary is wpros problem... and yes its a radio station but ITS ALSO A BUSINESS AND MOST BUSINESS ARE THERE TO MAKE MONEY! no person in business is gonna cut what brings in money...( like wknd92 said ) weather its geo, kim, charlie jeffords dan york, or even depetro im sure noone here likes to see anyone loose there jobs but again if you dont like buddy just dont listen all theres buddy posts are getting sicking and no im not not defending the rich republicians i could care less there all crooks in my mind with is why this state is in the shape itss in.... take a look around you.... it wasnt only a republician who caused this mess
 
I get the point. It's not that it's Buddys Salary, it's the head of AIG not taking a cut, when everyone else is. I suppose some of these posters defending Buddy, could be clones, whatever.

The other thing is, If Buddys show blows the horn for The Jockey, I think in the same vane of jest, they could do an occassional Jail Door Slamming, and then he Laughs. Hey, why not? It would give Buddy a Human side.

Lately, his show has been pretty much 3 hours of attack against the worst Mayor in RI history, David Cicilline! I do listen to Buddy 3 times a week And I'm Not 85. ;D

Uh, yeah, you did mention my name...look back at your post...here let me quote it for you verbatim:

I am not throwing the worth of the people at WPRO or minimizing it(the little people as you call them); but after having done interning, board opping, swing shifts & weekends, I can speak to the fact that I didn't drive dollars into the place. I didn't fault Salty, Rocky, Gary, MaryAnn, etc for the money or vacation that their NEGOTIATED contracts provided for them. Seeing as you don't know what Buddy may do for the people that work with & for him (and neither do I), you just don't like it or is it that you don't like HIM? Try being honest for once....
 
WHJJ should play the old theme to the Untouchables. Then do a count up as to
the amount of days the reign of terror by the King Pin of radio O. C. still sits at the other station.
But, hey, thats just me. Glover isn't smart enough to do such things. Not that anybody listens
to her in the first place.
