Donnie Deutsch just made the statement on Morning Joe that it was the Bill Clinton speech that

[monmouth]

made him decide to definitely vote for President Obama. Willie was aghast. Paraphrasing here: C'mon, you're not voting for Romney? Boy, Willie showed his colors. Not that he hasn't before but that was right out there.

1. Willie who?

?

I'm familiar with Joe Scarborough, but I don't know who Willie is.

[monmouth]

2. Willie Geist..n/t

[TroyD]

3. If Donnie Deutsch was converted by Bill . . .

Hopefully there are a few million others out there who Bill helped make the same transformation.

[monmouth]

4. Agree..n/t

[polichick]

5. imo Willie was saying that there's no way Donnie was voting for Rmoney...

Donnie isn't a Republican.

[monmouth]

6. I could have heard it wrong, missed Willie's sarcasm I guess..n/t

[polichick]

7. I think Willie was gently calling Donnie out on a little white lie...

...when he really was always voting for Obama.

8. Willie named his son George W. Geist. I assume the W is for William

but he showed his colors years ago.

9. I am amazed what people know about people on TV

You are right. I think I know who Willie Geist is but how in the world do you know or keep track of their children?

11. I used to watch Morning Joe every day and remember when Willie said this after he missed

some time due to the birth of his son. I had a good memory once, but now I have more senior moments . However, I recall being disgusted when I heard he named his kid after "W". So one remembers the things that disgust them, I guess.

[polichick]

14. It's child abuse to saddle a kid with the name George W.

[tjdee]

10. I adore Donnie Deutsch.

Always have.

[ellenfl]

12. is he visible nowadays? i would like to check him out again. eom

[tjdee]

13. Haven't heard much since his show was cancelled (or whatever)?

Was pleasantly surprised to see him show up on Morning Joe.

Might google him to find out what he's up to these days.
