Last Friday, the National Security Archive, a research institute and library located at George Washington University that collects and publishes declassified documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, celebrated its 20th anniversary. Former PBS host Bill Moyers gave a speech to the attendees that evening in which, as has been typical for him, he didn’t have very nice things to say about the Bush administration. The full text is too long to do justice to the breadth of Moyers’ antagonism towards this White House, but some of the lowlights are:

Moyers was the chief architect of Lyndon Johnson's dirtiest of tricks. This guy is old school pond scum.

He's gone (more) senile.

Moyers actually said: "the press is hobbled today..." and continues on to apply various pejoratives about various Republicans in that process.

He's never sounded quite so stupid before as he does in this article that quotes him.

That's why he's on PBS - nothing says out of touch like a government paid for channel.

Who in the h*** watches PBS news?!?! The only time my friends and I even turn to it is during the fundraisers when they have more conservative programming, of course you have to mute it during the fundraising...

“It has to be said: there has been nothing in our time like the Bush Administration's obsession with secrecy."

Gee, Bill. Just blue-skyin' it here, but could that possibly be because we're AT WAR and might have a few things we don't want the ENEMY to know about?

Whatta tool.
