America’s Principal Skinner

On the heels of learning that Robert Downer Jr. is alive comes the much sadder news — gleaned from a trip to Borders and watching the Daily Show last night — that Bill Moyers is also still alive. And he still knows how to pronounce democracy.

As a nation mourns this non-passing, don’t you think our newspapers ought to have a pre-obituary section to prepare us for such surprise re-emergences? One that would, you know, apprise us of the activities of the unexpectedly undead? I do.

    I’m stunned that you would take a pop at Bill Moyers, truly one of my few heroes. Perhaps you could elaborate on your feelings with something concrete, rather than lame witicisms on his “non-passing”

    In my opinion he is one of the few journalists working today.

    we’re waiting….

    You take a crack at a Bill try O’Reilly. At least Moyers doesn’t sling lies.

    The title implies that Moyers is a skinner of the U.S. zzzzzzzzzzzz My god, how long are conservatives going characterize/equate criticism of the Bush administration as Anti-US. Jeeze for such a young guy (I assume) you sure use a tired old device.
