I AM A 28 YEAR OLD FEMALE WHO IS A WATCHER OF THE IMUS IN THE MORNING PROGRAM ON MSNBC. A FEW WEEKS AGO, IMUS AND THE MORNING CAME TO MY HOMETOWN OF NORFOLK, VIRGINIA TO DO A LIVE BROADCAST. MY YOUNGER SISTER AND I SAT PROUDLY IN THE FRONT ROW. I WATCHED BERNARD AND HOW HE INTERACTED WITH THE CROWD, AND WITH MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE WHO WERE CALLED UP ON STAGE TO BE INTERVIEWED BY MR. IMUS. BERNIE WAS NOTHING BUT KIND, SWEET, LOVING, AND SO GENTLE WITH THE MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE WHO WERE CALLED UP ONSTAGE. MY 16 YEAR OLD SISTER EVEN WENT UP TO BE INTERVIEWED BY IMUS ABOUT HOW MUCH SHE LOVED BERNARD, AND BERNIE WAS COMPLETELY SHOCKED AND FLATTERED, BUT WHEN THE CAMERAS WENT OFF, HE WALKED UP TO HER, SHOOK HER HAND, TOLD HER SHE WAS LOVELY, AND MADE HER FEEL VERY SPECIAL. THAT IS THE BERNARD MCGUIRK THAT I KNOW AND LOVE. THE ON AIR BERNARD JUST WANTS TO PISS YOU OFF, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE HAS DONE AN AWESOME JOB. WE LOVE YOU BERNARD.
