Government Waste
Bill Moyers Journal
t r u t h o u t | Programming Note

Airdate: Friday, March 14, 2008 at 9:00 PM (EDT) on PBS.
(Check local listings at http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/about/airdates.html.)

Bill Moyers Journal looks at waste, fraud and abuse of power in Washington with an examination of the scandals investigated by Congress's Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. "If no one thinks they're being watched and being held accountable, they think they can get away with anything," says Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-California), the committee's chairman. The report looks at the most egregious cases of abuse. Also on the program, an essay on government secrecy from correspondent Rick Karr.

1. People hate Bill Moyers because he tells the truth and
exposes crooks.

12. All I can say is that it's scary how far we have strayed.
(Sorry, I was just watching Obama bob and weave about the pastor dust-up. He sure can dance like a butterfly.)

Moyers is great, as usual. Waxman seemed just as gobsmacked as the rest of us are. The chutzpah is astonishing.

14. I'd rather see that than Donny Osmond singing Soldier of Love.
It's pledge week (week? I think it lasts a month) here AGAIN and, for some reason, whoever runs the station decided that the Osmond's 50th Anniversary special would really bring in the big bucks. WTF? This is not Utah.

16. Great show.
Moyers is a true American Patriot.
He is one of the best interviewers ever.
He covers the stories that the MSM and Establishment would rather wipe from American awareness.
I never miss his show.
:patriot:
