Montel Williams is Fired for "Supporting the Troops"

I found this on Daily Kos and thought it was worth providing to SG readers. I always liked Montel's style, though I surely do not always agree with him. But, this is very cool. For the record 37 soldiers have died this month in an increasingly violent Iraq. The Surge is a joke and is prolonging our decision to leave this country to the Iraqis, if that is at all possible.

For just over three minutes on Saturday morning, TV talk show host Montel Williams owned the hosts of Fox and Friends. A former Marine and Naval officer, Montel lectured the stunned hosts on the stupidity of spending air time on the death of Heath Ledger, rather than covering the war in Iraq. It was a spectacle rarely seen on live cable television, as Montel exposed and condemned both tabloid "news" shows and much of American culture for what they have each become: shallow and greedy.
Three minutes into this awkward segment on Fox, one host cut off Montel in order to go to a commercial. Montel did not return after the break. Four days later, after 17 years as a television host, Montel lost his job.
