Bill Moyers Heading To Cuba? (Barf Alert)

Media Research Center ^ | Bill Moyers

[torchthemummy]

“You’ve probably seen in the papers that I’ll be leaving my long career at PBS later this year. As I approach the age of 70, I’ve grown discouraged about the path America has taken, devolving from the New Deal and the Great Society into a debilitating dystopia of corporate greed, a blighted land of milked contributors and honeyed government favors for the very rich. We’ve declined from a President who came from a place called Hope, to an unsteady meat-headed martinet ruling his fraternity house based on fear. Defense contractors make their millions as our soldiers are chopped into chutney, and the obsequious din of talk radio can only demand that everyone pledge allegiance to the fraud. The cabinet meeting business is divided between the Secretary of Bechtel, the Vice President of Halliburton, and the director of the Enron Protection Agency....” “As I say goodbye to my truth-telling podium, I glance in the rearview mirror at the country I used to know, and wave goodbye to my tony Manhattan digs, to begin anew in a land where humanity rather than profits come first, where the hopes of the children are brightened and not burdened. I shall be departing for a warm new life in the comfortable arms of Cuba.” – PBS omnipresence Bill Moyers ending his show Now with a commentary, April 1.

I know this was on April 1 but most of this doesn't seem to be a joke. I of course doubt that demented Bill is heading to the land of Fidel. Does anyone know any more about this rant?

While all of this is likley what Moyers believes, this is obviously a joke.

[Mike Bates]

Just a guess, but I think this may be, just possibly, a goof.

We’ve declined from a President who came from a place called Hope...

Yeah, hope for a blowjob from an overweight intern in the Oval Office....

[torchthemummy]

You know, just after I posted this, I looked back at all the other quotes and came to the conclusion that I am probably the Fool! I guess my opinion of libs and that there is no limit to how low they can go must have clouded my judgement. (I'm telling you, some seem so possible)

Poor Bill is looking for a return to his LBJ days. He will die never finding it.

After reading the source page, here's one for you:

Did you realize "gullible" isn't in the dictionary?

[newgeezer]

Good for you. :O)

[theDentist]

This was their "April Fools Edition".

Poor Bill is looking for a return to his LBJ days.

When Bill was helping LBJ pick out targets to bomb on a map of Vietnam in the Oval Office of the White House. Those were the days, huh Bill?

...declined from a President who came from a place called Hope

You have to be kidding! Anything is a step up from Slick Willie, alias Bent Willy the Rapist.

That's what happens when you grow a large government, Bill.

The pigs go where the slop is.

[The G Man]

Don't feel bad. I got the same email and didn't realize it was a joke til I was halfway through (my blood pressure is still trying to correct itself ... LOL!). The first one from Bob Schieffer I thought was so odd, but the others you could really imagine those folks spewing that crap.

[torchthemummy]

Thanks! I'm feeling a little less silly now.

[sauropod]

Moyers is truly an idiot.

[N. Theknow]

This sounds even far-fetched for Moyers.

That having been said....

If he really wants to go to Cuba, maybe Ted (we'll miss that bridge when we come to it) Kennedy can give him a ride.

[hellinahandcart]

All I know is that the page you linked begins with "April Fool's Edition" and ends with "April Fool!", so....

[hellinahandcart]

Moyers is truly an idiot.

Yes, even in a spoof, he remains an idiot.

[torchthemummy]

....I'sa fool(e)!
