Montel is a 20-year Navy vet guys...go easy on him.

Also his show doesn't engage in sleaze.

“Montel is a 20-year Navy vet guys”

After 12 years of military service he departed as a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy.

Yes, and he was a Submarine Rider, so that makes this doubly disappointing.

Montel does appear have a decent show that isn’t flaming.
Usually I am at work so his audience consists of non workers, retired, stay at home moms, and invalids.

I think the game show network cut into his ratings with the retired people. The baby network got the stay at home moms.
So non working and invalids...great audience for advertising revenue.

You know I appreciate that he is a military vet. I also believe he was an intellegence officer as well.

However, that has nothing to do with him as a talk show host.

I always wonder about him. How did he end up where he is is beyond me.

I am not going to cut him a break because he served our country. Once you step out into the public sphere you are fair game.

Incorrect. Williams did 12 years in the Marine Corps and Navy. Murtha is a retired Marine Colonel. Should we go easy on that POS too?

Not 20 years and so was Carter - so what?
