Ok, so I don’t think I’m ready for my own show just yet
I was a bit nervous going on TV for the first time. I think I probably came across as quite a n00b. It didn’t help that they had me practically sitting on Marilyn Churley’s lap the whole time. Thankfully she’s a very nice and gracious lady - politically speaking we are oceans apart, but she was very kind in showing me around.
Michael came to greet me in the green room before the show, with the words “I hear you’re a right-wing extremist!” He heard right, as it were. David Menzies apparently has a thing for fat right-wing extremists, declaring his adoration for the world.
All in all, a positive experience that I hope to repeat as we head toward autumn. And I’ll let you know when I am finally able to get the war paint mortician’s wax makeup off.
Ya did fine.

I thought you were great, Wendy.
Hope you’re back on the show again some time soon.

You looked great and only a little bit nervous — would have been weird if you didn’t!
Yes they really bump chairs together to get everyone into the shot. I will be fantasizing about smashing Churley’s face in for the next 48 hours cuz dat’s how I rollz. You have more class than I do — I think you should have stuck your tongue out at her.
That David guy is a riot. Hell, where was HE when I was in high school?
The makeup: it usually takes about 24 hours to get off entirely. You’ll still be wiping smudges of it off tomorrow, behind the ears and so forth. It is very bad for you so exfoliate/scrub etc.

I thought you were pretty good. The gorilla constituent remark was just a little much. I laughed out loud in a “I can’t believe I said that” sort of way.
I just hope you told Michael Coren how brilliant I am.
No?
…Crap.

You did fine Wendy.
Between Menzies (Dave, stay away from real coffee) going off like a daisy cutter every time someone questioned Bush wisdom and the Trudeaupian liberal evangelist with her endless droning sermonizing, I’m surprised you got asked for your opinion at all.
Ya had to be rude to be heard in that crowd.
Next time I hope they have some opponents that bring out the aggression in ya. I want to hear some of those great politically incorrect brass balls jokes on the air. Sarcasm kills!!

My husband and I thought you were brilliant! It was a real relief to see someone who can make Marilyn Churley speechless. Loved the gorilla constituent comment!

Wendy: This is my first post to your blog.
Thanks to your appearance on Coren last night, I’m here today.
I enjoyed your comments – not just because I agreed with you – but because you got a few good jabs at Marilyn. I realize you can’t insult her here but she’s so damn irritating – even for a lefty.
Anyway, great job and hopefully Coren has you back on a regular basis.
Cheers!

Good job, Wendy. And contrary to Patrick’s opinion, I laughed hysterically over that constituent comment. It was perhaps slightly uncivil, but DAMN it was funny. And any idiot who supports ‘Human Rights’ for non-humans deserves to be ridiculed!

I too watched your debut on TV and thought you did great. I wish we could see more of you on the Coren show and less of Maryln. She seems to be on almost every other night and she never fails to have the exact opposite opinion of what any sane person would have on any issue.
Having you on would be much better. Then I wouldn’t have to yell at the TV quite so much.
