MICHAEL MEDVED SPEAKS AT LINCOLN DAY DINNER

Michael Medved, nationally syndicated talk-radio host, came to Juneau to speak at tonight’s annual Lincoln Day Dinner. Medved, an unrepentant conservative and former liberal activist, gave a well received conservative exhortation to his mostly Republican audience. His speech was strong - but not “over- the top” – entertaining as well as thoughtful. He’s the kind of fellow with whom one can disagree, but still like. Medved even demonstrated gracious patience, when my camera flash repeated failed to function when trying to get his photo. I did get a recognizable photo with him despite the malfunctioning flash.
