    Moyers briefly explained who Josh Marshall is, and what TPM is, and identified him as a journalist and an historian, and "not a politician."  Moyers said Marshall has a clear and simple message on the question people should be asked about health care reform: " Would you like the option, the voluntary option, of buying into Medicare before you're sixty-five?"

    Updated in the morning:

    I know many of you have blogged exactly this message; congratulations to Josh and to all of you.  If there is any other teevee journalist who can touch Bill Moyers, I don't know who it is.

    And Josh; write the speech; we'll get it around, even if the President doesn't end up using it!  Your Reader-bloggers will help.  And we can send this clip to the White House, and ask that the President see it.  We can post the clip at other sites, many of you must have accounts at other sites, yes?
