Good one ;-)

Every single one of them (Democrats) needs spine, needs political courage.

If they ain't already got it they can't get it.

[Jeff Chandler]

I think the liberals' natural candidate is Paul Rueubens.

[Tallguy]

"Just get him into the debates. Think about the potential Democratic candidates. Every single one of them needs spine, needs political courage. What Moyers can do is not only show them what it looks like and indeed what it is, but also how people respond to it. I’m damned if I want to go through another presidential primary with everyone trying to figure out who has the best chance to win instead of who’s right. I want to vote for somebody who’s good and brave and who should win."

How would being IN the debate be more advantageous to the Democrats? Isn't it better to have Moyers MODERATING the debate? Asking softball questions of Democratic presidential candidates is what the MSM is all about.

Pahahahah! Ivins is writing comedy now I see! Better than her normal columns.

[Tallguy]

My wife also calls the History Channel the "Hitler Channel". I retalliate by calling HGTV "Porn for Housewives".

[theDentist]

Let him run! That means people will start looking at his personal finances, and how it interlinks with PBS. ;-)

[twigs]

I've got to fess up here. Hitler fascinates me. Not him the person, but the fact that he was able to rise to power like he did. I can't figure it out. So I watch anything about Hitler. And as you say, there's a LOT about Hitler on THC. I want to teach Middle School and my husband teases me by raising his hand and saying "Mrs. Twigs, are we going to study Hitler today AGAIN?"

[RexBeach]

Bill Moyers is a self-centered, sanctimonious, supercilious whiner who thinks he knows what's best for us.

He's dined out on his being LBJ's press secretary for decades now.

Mr. Moyers is a fool.

Molly Ivins? I hope she is recovering from her bout with cancer.

But poor Molly is still a whack job who wouldn't fight for this country if her life depended on it - and it does.

[Patrick1]

Moyers is the perfect moonbat candidate. He would guarantee a conservative victory in 2008. The American taxpayer should even fund his campaign in the tradition of PBS.

[My2Cents]

Nominated for "Post of the Day."

[My2Cents]

Wouldn't that be "Lifetime"?

[L98Fiero]

"These liberals live in a fantasy world."

If they didn't they would be called "conservatives".

That's the problem with liberalism. It's based on an imaginary, idealistic world-view, not in a real-world view.

[My2Cents]

This one's for you...

[lawdude]

Great...an old drunk calling for an old washed up drug sucking hippy for Pres. Ya...sure!

[DesScorp]

Molly Ivins...perhaps the most useless writer in all of journalism.

[henbane]

[Moyers] is not afraid of being called “unpatriotic.”--Molly Ivins

These two infatuated Bush-haters are just what the doctor ordered to liven up the Democrat Presidential primaries.

[Teacher317]

Fascinating admissions eventually ooze out of the Left every once in a while...

I’m damned if I want to go through another presidential primary with everyone trying to figure out who has the best chance to win instead of who’s right.

[Inspectorette]

Molly and Ma Richards need to make a quick Costco run - they must've run out of Crown Royal, so Molly's toking up with something stronger.

[Inspectorette]

Sheesh - hard to tell which one's which!
