Geist Takes The Mickey Out of Green Week

Amidst all the sanctimonious do-gooderism and global-warming alarmism that is NBC/Universal's Green Week, it's good to see that at least one person amongst the network's minions has kept his sense of humor about this farce.

Morning Joe's Willie Geist became something of a sensation with his spoof electioneering for John McCain on the sidewalks of Manhattan's ultra-blue Upper West Side. In that same spirit, Willie ventured out onto the streets of midtown yesterday, asking folks in the street how they were celebrating Green Week, and posing provocative questions. Sample: "Do you think global warming is kinda hogwash? I mean, look how cold it is today." He got some amusing answers and met some colorful characters, including one dazed and confused fellow who turned out to be none other than Mike Barnicle.

"Green is Universal"?

Now we add an outright scam into the mix of of news, entertainment, and corporate awareness. No wonder capitalism gets a bad name.

Mildly amusing. The whole show, the whole network, is so contaminated that I can hardly stand to watch it.

Don’t know (don’t watch pMSNBC) so I gotta ask: Is Willie Geist related to Bill Geist of CBS Sunday Morning?
