[greyl]

1. Proves you can be an asshole and unload on republicans, eh? nt

[BlackVelvet04]

3. I never watch Montel but I got a call to give me a

heads up. He just mentioned the "I" word.

[greyl]

5. That's cool. Too bad it isn't someone with more credibiltiy, though. :)nt

[blonndee]

8. Why is he an asshole? I never heard anything bad about him.

I know he does a lot of work to raise awareness of and money to fight MS, besides doing his talk show. Is there some scandal I'm not aware of?

[greyl]

10. Like anyone, he's not all bad, but Sylvia Browne is the biggest reason for me.

Also, I've heard from someone who went to school with him that when he was the Treasurer at his high school, he stole money.

11. Sylvia draws attention. He makes $$ for his foundation.

Get a clue and don't spread unfounded hearsay.

6. Good for Montel.

Is this enough credibility for you?



After graduating from high school in 1974, Williams enlisted in the United States Marine Corps <1> in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland, where his father, Herman Williams Jr, served as fire chief, and soon thereafter reported for duty at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. After six months, he was meritoriously promoted twice, and in 1975, became the first black Marine selected to the Naval Academy Preparatory School. Upon graduating from the Academy's Prep School one year later, Williams received a presidential appointment to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. While at Annapolis, he studied Mandarin Chinese and graduated in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science in General Engineering and a minor in International Security Affairs(see discussion). He served on board the USS Sampson during the U.S. invasion of Grenada. His awards include the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, two Navy Expeditionary Medals, two Humanitarian Service Medals, a Navy Achievement Medal, two Navy Commendation Medals and two Meritorious Service Medals. He retired after 22 years' service.

7. I don't get the Montel bashing either.

He's suffering from MS and he is helping fellow citizens
with free drugs, that they would normally go without.

Thanks Grandrose! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

12. What a loser!

:sarcasm:

[Rosemary2205]

13. He's also been big in the free meds for the poor fight.

He's been out in front with big Pharm for years pushing them to start and expand their free drug programs. Whatever else Montel might stand for, this is a good thing.

14. I saw the show and he said..

that he has been a Republicon for most of his life but now he is an independent and he is asking why isn't anyone asking for impeachment or the draft...
