I love Bill Moyers, he is national treasure, and am so grateful he has returned to PBS, sharing his insight, wisdom, talent and skills with those of us hungry for some real journalism.
Looks like a great night for Kossacks to watch Moyers.
His guests are Bruce Fein who wrote the first article of impeachment against Clinton and John Nichols, the Washington correspondent for The Nation.
Here's a taste of what we can look forward to viewing
"The founding fathers expected an executive who tried to overreach and expected the executive would be hampered and curtailed by the legislative branch... They [Congress] have basically renounced — walked away from their responsibility to oversee and check." — Bruce Fein
"On January 20th, 2009, if George Bush and Dick Cheney are not appropriately held to account this Administration will hand off a toolbox with more powers than any President has ever had, more powers than the founders could have imagined. And that box may be handed to Hillary Clinton or it may be handed to Mitt Romney or Barack Obama or someone else. But whoever gets it, one of the things we know about power is that people don't give away the tools." — John Nichols
'Bout time we started this discussion on media too, dontcha think?
Looking forward to it, Moyers is making my Friday nights, except for Storytime of course.
Enjoy!
I most certainly will.
Update, sorry I missed the Moyers on-linePoll, go here to vote for civil liberties
