Try to catch Moyer on PBS - Washington corruption - Abramoff,
DeLay, Norquist, Reed - excellent so far.

I missed the Senate hearing - Abrahmoff called Choctaw Tribe Indians he was dealing with - monkeys.

Allen calling the young documentarian (American born of East INDIAN heritage) - a macaca (monkey).

So that's has to be the equivalent of the n word in the lobbying world?

Well, catch the program - you've read it HERE on DU - but it's great to watch this - very insightful about Reed and Norquist.

1. have it on now........
I turned it on just in time to catch the 'monkey' remark, too.

I'm watching, but I shouldn't have eaten first.. I'm already nauseated.

2. I'm watching this. Conservatives have rigged the system.
We have former college Republicans who in part have set up a 21st century slavery system and profit off slavery. The confederacy has won the civil war.


American Express, the official credit card of corrupt former College Republicans

Priceless.

3. How teflon is George?
President George Bush is a part of this team. If he gets away with an innocence game like Ronald and George, Sr., it will be a travesty.

same physical shaped noses. They're just innocent little boys. Right? College politicos. Virtuous Christians and Jews for virtuous lobbyists.

Such honest and dignified Americans.

8. Must-see TV. Unbelievable. Very nicely done.
Was it just me, or did all these vipers appear to be wearing eyeliner?!

Of course, the people who "need" to see this were probably otherwise engaged...
Thank you Mr. Moyers!!

9. Just finished watching.....depressing to say the least!
Ralph Reed has the ability to look pure and yet be a self-serving con artist and Abramoff takes corruption to a new high. However, the top slime ball in the entire program is Tom DeLay, in my opinion.

10. fantastic program
makes you want to throw up at how morally bankrupt the group in power is. When they played the part where Tom DeLay said he 'prayed that people would see the face of Jesus' in his mugshot, it was all I could do to not throw something solid at the TV.
If this is replayed, everyone at DU needs to see it.

to take his seat and footstool and tells George what he needs to do and say to push forward with the schemes to control the money and the country. Karl's twin.

Then he meets with all the heads of the talking points team to disseminate the lies and strategies-tactics.

18. It was incredibly refreshing to watch
almost felt like the curtain had parted and reality had shown through.

This is the program Scholastic should be sending out, with study guides, to all of America's schools.

20. Abramoff: Ralph Reed "is a bad version of us"
How loathsome do you have to be to be a bad version of Abramoff?
