The dream ticket: Bill Moyers and Stephen Colbert

i'm not kidding... it would be a landslide...
Comedian Stephen Colbert is not a threat to win the presidency, but the odds are that that his satire will win plenty of laughs and maybe even some votes.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that Colbert is preferred by 13% of voters as an independent candidate challenging Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Rudy Giuliani. The survey was conducted shortly after Colbert’s surprise announcement that he is lusting for the Oval Office.

when the late, great, sorely-missed molly ivins first proposed bill moyers, it didn't take me more than a nanosecond to leap up and yell, HELL, YEAH...!

i've posted on moyers for president several times, the most recent being this past april...

i am watching bill moyers' "buying the war" right now via pbs online... i have seen two parts out of five so far, and i can say, unequivocally, it's excellent... moyers has done our country a terrific service, perhaps the most outstanding effort of an already outstanding career... i hearken back to many months ago when there was a quiet but powerful tremor that rippled through the blogosphere...

from the late, great molly ivins in july of last year...

Dear desperate Democrats, here's what we do. We run Bill Moyers for president. I am serious as a stroke about this. It's simple, cheap and effective, and it will move the entire spectrum of political discussion in this country. Moyers is the only public figure who can take the entire discussion and shove it toward moral clarity just by being there.

MOYERS FOR PRESIDENT


(To let Moyers know what you think of this idea, write him at P.O. Box 309, Bernardsville, NJ 07924...)

i'd even take the c-clamp off my wallet for that one...
