Gold sounds like a Christy Whitman RINO to me. But he yearns for Goldwater and Moyers encourages that. However, Goldwater lost.
I associate Moyers with LBJ, though he claims Kennedy and Civil Rights. He seems as angry as the netroot people, and I asked an associate why at a recent funeral for a TV man from that crowd. I can only believe that people like him yearn for their idealism because they compromised it to ruthless and venal men like Johnson. A good, decent man like Bush is a rebuke. A rock like Cheney would make the vacillators who lost Vietnam uncomfortable.
That could be, but I sorta doubt it. From his biography, he looks more like a Spiro T. Agnew type (he was his press secretary). Since he was never elected to any office, it's probably wasting our time trying to pigeonhole him. He's a lawyer. That's enough for me.
