Public Citizen Tribute To Phil Donahue
This is good to see…
Public Citizen, the consumer group founded by Ralph Nader , gave its first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award to Phil Donahue on Thursday night at the National Press Club. There were plenty of tributes for the talk show host, but it was impossible for the room full of pumped-up progressives to get through the evening without finding plenty of people to criticize — including Barack Obama.
———–
Donahue, now 74 and still brimming with energy, stepped up to accept his award and went on for 40 minutes, without notes and barely taking a breath. “I can’t think of any other single development in my own personal life . . . that is more consequential for me than to have met the people through Ralph who have introduced me to so many people of conscience — to the people I admired and wanted to be,” he said.
Do we smell comeback? Stay tuned.
Hope so. Congrats Phil, and thanks.
