Willie Geist talks to me at the Book signing in Framingham for his volume American Freak Show

It was a pretty good crowd and they are pretty good speakers it was a lot of fun to hear from them.

During the question and answer session Willie and Mike were asked about the firing of Juan Williams by NPR

It’s important to note that this was an MSNBC crowd, not a lot of conservatives in the house (the only one I was positive about was me) and the crowd seemed to go along with Willie and Mike who considered it unfair.

I think NPR couldn’t have done a more foolish thing, if NPR has lost the audience of MSNBC they are in big trouble here.

They are pretty good talkers and better storytellers.

They are talking about how various political freaks Blago is the biggest star and people who are famous for being famous.

“I can name all the Kardashian sisters and I hate that.” Willie Geist 7:18 p.m.

“Real People, fake stories”

This is definitely a MSNBC crowd

7:30 p.m. Answering questions the crowd loves them and rightly so.

7:35 p.m. topic turns toward Baseball, no Yankee fans here except for Willie

7:40 p.m. They are talking about how they hate polls. If the crowd finds out I’m conservative I don’t know if I’ll be lynched,

7:50 p.m. Barnicle gave a great talk about Juan Williams, vintage Barnicle.

8:03 p.m. The story of how the show took place is kinda cool

8:07 p.m. Lean forward is critiqued.
