Bill Moyers for President?
Since we're in the blogosphere, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention Molly Ivins' idea of nominating Bill Moyers for the Democratic Presidential nomination. It makes amusing reading, and the blogosphere is now taking the idea out for a test drive. The idea begs the question -- is America ready for someone to seriously address the myriad of issues facing us? Or have we become so desensitized to war, poverty, and hate that we "can't handle the truth?"
I admire Mr. Moyers and what he stands for, but are we ready for him as even a Presidential candidate? What can public broadcasting do to steer the election process back to governing?

My wife read the column while we were on vacation last week. She immediately called me inside to read it, then called 2 friends and her parents to check it out. Later, she read it out loud to my very conservative mother (The person who proclaimed recently that "Global warming is just a liberal myth" as we sat in 98 degree heat by a lake in Northern Maine.)
So.....if both my wife's enthusiasm for the IDEA as well as it's appearance here and elsewhere is any indication of the potential, I hope someone pursues this.
Heck, he's already done: "The Power of Myth", "Faith and Reason" and "Death and Dying". With the exeption of that "Reason" blip, he's already covered a lot of Presidential political waterfront.
