Okay, I know this post is sparse, and I haven’t had a good chance to watch the entire video, but I wanted to run home at lunch to do a quick edit on this and get it up on my blog.

It’s amazing that just yesterday, Montel’s show was about our Navy & Marines serving in the Persian Gulf, praising their work and talking about what an important job they’re doing (video of that to come later).

Now today, he has Joe Scarborough on, along with a host of other guests including Cheri Jacobus, Amy Holmes, actress Morgan Fairchild and some military family members to discuss Bush, the war in Iraq, our horrible economy (/sarcasm), and various and sundry other issues that gave him such pleasure to bash the President of the United States and his Administration. It’s more of the “BUSH LIED, BUSH LIED” B.S.

Gee, can you tell which flavor Kool-Aid Montel drinks? Sounds like he’s probably buddies with the likes of John Conner et. al.

I apologize if it’s not quite as neat as it can be, but I’ll give it a better edit this evening when I get home. For now, you can watch the video here.

***UPDATE***

Okay, I dropped the part about minimum wage so the file would be smaller. I still had to considerably compress it, but you can watch the first part of the show, just about Iraq, here.

One observation I did make, and wonder why Montel didn’t, is about the comment he made about needing the draft back. Montel said we need to have the draft back if we will be able to sustain the current or future wars, and said it was really necessary so that others (read “rich white kids”) will have to fight in this war, and it won’t be just the “poor” and “minorities.” ~Ahem~… uh, Montel? Remember that show you did yesterday aboard several Navy & Coast Guard vessels in the Persian Gulf? Um… I was just curious; did you happen to notice how many “white folks” there were on those ships? Did you also notice how many people of color told you of their frustration that the media was not telling America the truth about the good things they are doing over there? Um-hmm… guess you forgot about that, didn’t you. Well, just to refresh your memory, you might want to review these clips from that show here and here.

Gee; I love how you use the terms “multi-national troops,” “all-volunteer” personnel, and “defending Iraq’s democracy” only when you’re praising the troops while you’re with them. Guess you didn’t want to get your ass kicked on board with the Marines and Sailors. I also find it incredible that you pontificate about “just how important it is to protect this region of the world,” yet one day later (today), you are bashing Bush and the Administration for taking us into an unjust war. Which is it, Montel? You can’t have it both ways.
