Late to the Party

Although I read TPM daily, a couple of years ago I was much more impressed with Josh Marshall. The past couple of years he seems to me to have left critical reporting on Democrats behind him. In fact, I have been waiting for him to post anything about Obama's recent list of right-leaning maneuvers. At last, TPM at least takes up the FISA issue, but it's not Marshall doing the posting. It's David Kurtz. And Greg Sargent and Eric Kleefield lay out a timeline of Obama's statements on FISA at TPM Election Central.

Bill Moyers

Fortunately for us, and for all the world, including generations to come, Bill Moyers has come out of retirement. Moyers says he starts his day with Josh Marshall and ends it with Jon Stewart. Not bad bookends, those.

If you click the picture below, you can watch his excellent interview with Jon Stewart (the Daily Show) which aired on TV last night. From the same link, you can watch his report on the US Attorney purge, which includes an interview with Josh Marshall of TPM. And if you click here, you can watch an interview Moyers did with Jon Stewart in 2003.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
