Tony Shalhoub(Mr Monk) Rallies With Wisconsin!

[Cha]

Yeah, I'm a Monkophile!

I just saw it..they didn't show him..just lots of people in the crowds cheering. And, I couldn't understand everyword but I heard "This country is under assault"! He mentioned "fox news" and everyone BOOOOOOOOOOed! He introduced his sister Amy who is an educator in Wisconsin and went to public schools, a member of the Teacher's Union..and joked about her being a "lazy ass malcontent":roflmao:

At the end he refered to Walker as "soon to be former gov Walker". It's about 9 minutes long and pretty inspiring.

Unscrupulous and lethal attack.....he's good! The crowd really responded to him.

Monk's a Democrat! His sister Amy is a teacher in Wisconsin, a Union member, and went to public school..you can imagine, Julie, when he heard about all this going on in Wisconsin and making the decision he had to go give them support!

So had I..and I think I read about him and his family in People quite awhile ago. This is perfect..that he is from there and he has a sis who's a TEACHER!

"You need to know you are the heart and soul of America today," Shalhoub said. "This is the birth of a nationwide movement. A movement destined to restore the rights of workers."

According to the Associated Press, the protesters were joined by 50 tractors and, fittingly, one donkey.

Shalhoub (apologies for mangling the spelling of his name in an earlier post) was sent to Madison on behalf of the Screen Actors Guild, which is supporting the workers along with other industry unions.

"in essence I really just want people to know that they're not alone here. That there is support from people all over the country from people who are union members and people who are not union workers," Shalhoub told a local Fox affiliate. He grew up in the Green Bay area and his sister is a school teacher in the state.

OMg! You got a pic & such a good one Thanks, TINS!

[Hekate]

That is truly heartwarming. Thank you, Tony Shalhoub!!!

I never knew he was from Wisconsin -- we have an old Shalhoob family in Santa Barbara, and I always thought he might be a scion of that family tree. Considering that Wisconsin is now the epicenter of a fantastically important labor uprising, how great it is that I was totally wrong.

I've always been a huge Monk fan. Unfortunately I've seen every episode multiple times, but at least they ended the show well. Often grand finalis are disappointments.

Kudos to him for getting involved!

I've also seen them multiple times over the years on Instant netflix..I take long breaks in between times though but I feel myself gearing up for another round of Monk! And, looking at it through an even cooler more patriotic lens~
