Both Bush and Clinton have been triangulators. That means that they have coopted the best ideas of the other side and made them their own. After 15 years of centrist government the pols are fighting very intensely over trivia, but the public feels that they are ducking the big issues.

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.
