Cheney's World

It's always like a breath of fresh air to suddenly stumble across something new from Bill Moyers. Public Campaign has his prepared remarks from a recent speaking tour in California. He begins with the whole Deadeye Dick affair and neatly seques into a discourse on a favorite topic of mine, money in politics. Check it out. Here's a money quote:

It is a Dick Cheney world out there – a world where politicians and lobbyists hunt together, dine together, drink together, play together, pray together and prey together, all the while carving up the world according to their own interests.

Update: Tom Paine also has the speech.

FEATURED QUOTE

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."


-- Cecil Day-Lewis from Where Are The War Poets?
