Moyers: "Losing our democracy to the Mercenary Class..."

Three minutes of pure truth. Thank you Bill Moyers. I'm SO-O
happy you are back in the saddle, speaking truth like it's going
out of style (which it is).

Bill Moyers says the parody and satire of Jon Stewart and Stephen
Colbert pay Washington the disrespect it deserves, but in the end
it’s [Washington DC's] predatory mercenaries who have the last laugh.
