Brian Dunstan - What A Nice, Pleasant Man!

"much of the writing on the Internet could as easily be posted in spray paint on the side of a bus."
Lewis H. Lapham, Waiting For The Barbarians, The Spanish Armadillo, p. 166

The Oracle of Ottawa has an eye for talent. It is not often that one observes a media personality with a presence of an Komla Dumor, the diction of an Alastair Yates, the calm ability to probe of a Charlie Rose and most important, the gravity of a Peter Mansbridge! It is even rarer that this on air personality should appear on the Oracle of Ottawa's radar screen while engaged on a gig at Sun News TV!

Brian Dunstan World Coverage

One has to question the effectiveness of the methods of the human resources staff at the Sun News Network! What failed in the recruitment of the two high fliers that have recently crashed and burned in the most spectacular fashion? Was not enough money payed to the contracted head-hunters? Were the failed candidates not forced through enough hoops and the dozen interviews? How now in hindsight could they have been so bold as to for-go the standard wiring tests and resume checks? Perhaps as an exercise, all the members of the Sun News HR department should prepare all his other peers pink slips! First thing Monday morning! Chop! Chop!

Where Brian should be...

The Oracle of Ottawa has to commend Mr. Dunstan on his poise and bottomless patience of being the only eagle in the presence of a flock of poxed turkeys! It has been a hoot to watch! A lot of ways it is like watching Krista in reverse! The saturated red and blue sets that make the honkies look like dirty vanilla ice cream cones with hair, is for Mr. Dunstan, with his rich full medium complexion, quite flattering indeed! It appears to the Oracle of Ottawa that the sets were designed just for him! It is truly another discovered paradox of unregulated capitalism and free markets that a fill-in personality, hired with the utmost haste and under the most crushing duress, turns out to be the best personality Sun News has! (laugh out loud...)

Brian would be great here also!

Mr. Dunstans presence and obvious leadership skills, which he executes effortlessly, about his much lesser peers is to the Oracle of Ottawa poetry in motion! It is particularly entertaining to the Oracle of Ottawa to watch the ambitious, but sadly untalented lick-spittle male peers grovel in wonder and dread, for the faint hope of basking in the richness of Mr Dunstans sweet dark light. But realizing, alas, that they are only making the big Brian even better looking! Thanks for the contrast honey! 

Who knows? The talent is there!

But, alas, it won't last for long... Soon the gifted Mr. Dunstan will be snatched by the CBC or the BBC or maybe even a very nice rich American network affiliate in the southern United States! Say Dallas, or Augusta. The Oracle of Ottawa has no doubt that Mr. Dunstan will go very far indeed! The main reason for this is that Mr. Dunstan does not wanna'be, he knows that he was born to be. Contrary to present management philosophy, the viewers can tell the difference!   

As far as the Oracle of Ottawa is concerned, Brian Dunstan is as good as Komla Dumor! And will no doubt have as bright a future.
