He writes:

I was sure that I’d have more to say on Michael Coren’s show last week than I did when I agreed to do CBC Newsworld’s Sunday morning current affairs program a couple of years ago, just after the death of Anna Nicole Smith, where I apparently outraged the female host by suggesting that Smith had unhappily filled a “whore-shaped hole” in the culture. Note to self: don’t quote Pascal on national television.
