Langwiesche uninvited from WordsWorth appearance due to firefighter complaints. The most telling part of the article? But Robert B. McCarthy, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts (PFFM), said that his group called WordsWorth Wednesday to inform them that firefighters were boycotting the book and would protest the apperance of its author. [Emphasis mine]
Later on, Langwiesche responds simply by saying "read the book," asserting that protests of the book could only be based upon ignorance. One has to assume he's right. One begins to wonder: what, exactly, do firefighters think happened to get those jeans into the firetruck?
