Mad props to reader BD (you know who you are) for putting us onto coverage of the Ellen Taylor Cookie Monster incident on local radio station KFI, AM 640.
The incident was covered with some thought, knowledge, and nuance, but also with a little rough language by Wayne Resnick, filling in for Brian Suits on Sunday Afternoon in the 3 p.m. time slot. Then, on Monday afternoon, the two drive-time guys, John and Ken, discussed it at the beginning of the 4 o'clock hour. Since they were taking the story from Saturday's LA Times article, they had a few facts off kilter, but rather unerringly got to the heart of the incident, the really outrageous part.
John and Ken added to the public discussion by bringing in, on the phone, a daughter of the girl scout leader involved in the incident.
To get to the original shows, follow this link; then find the 7/20 Brian Suits show on Sunday (see image left) and play or download the podcast. For John and Ken, look in their column on the link and find the 7/21 4:00 p.m. show titled "Cookie Monster" (see image top). Then play or download as desired. The Resnick comments begin about 32 minutes into the podcast; the John and Ken comments are near the beginning of the 4 o'clock hour--about 5 minutes in.
For your convenience, we have extracted the relevant portions and linked them below, along with some illustrations.
By the way, another reader sent us a link to the San Francisco Chronicle article on Mayor Taylor which appeared in yesterday's (Wednesday, July 23, 2008) paper, page B-6.
