5. The cigs have to go...it's a distraction...

...to your audience.

- But the 'speech' was great...breaking down the lies of the Bushies...step by step.

- And DON'T DRINK A BEER while talking. Much too casual. This is okay in someone's living room...but...

17. Not Lenny Bruce -- a left-wing Morton Downey, Jr.
All we need to hear now is a tirade from Will about those "Pablum-puking conservatives"!

22. Great job, Will!
Keep doing it just like you're doing it. Sip that beer. Smoke that Marlboro. This country needs more angry white males on our side to be visible. Your smoking and drinking a beer makes a lot of ordinary folks identify with you. These are the people our side needs to get out to vote. Keep it up. Fire them up. Get them angry enough to vote.

Great job.

25. But that's the point.
I too am an angry white man. But I'm angry at the same people and actions you are. What we've needed for years is to redirect the anger of those traditionally thought of as angry white men away from minorities and in the direction of the robber barons. And who better to do this job than somebody who isn't afraid to tip a Bud and fire up a Marlboro in public, somebody who knows the score, somebody who tells the truth eloquently and simply. That's you, Will. You're a man of the people, like it or not.

And by the way, I also tip the occasional Bud, but I smoke Newports. However, I lack your eloquence. (And I envy you your youth, dammit)

Please keep doing exactly what you've been doing.

30. This Houstonian was sorry to miss it live..
No child care for the evening or I would have been there. So I was thrilled to see it on DemNow! this morning. DN rocks; KPFT rocks; and it is REALLY cool that you are helping them with their fundraising too via books & videos.

Progressivejazz was right.

29. I heard it on KPFA radio
Amy said we are going to spend the hour with William Rivers Pitt, a smile from me followed. You did great, it came across as a casual atmosphere with an informative angry narrative. You are doing us proud! :toast:
