The Washington Post story today on the FBI's investigation, under J. Edgar Hoover, of the sexuality of a White House aide to Lyndon Johnson includes this anecdote about our good friend Bill Moyers:
Even Bill Moyers, a White House aide now best known as a liberal television commentator, is described in the records as seeking information on the sexual preferences of White House staff members. Moyers said by e-mail yesterday that his memory is unclear after so many years but that he may have been simply looking for details of allegations first brought to the president by Hoover.
Moyers recently condemned Israel and declared that "God-soaked violence became genetically coded" in the DNA of Jews and Arabs. Today's Post story suggests that Moyers has done a remarkable job of maintaining the same level of integrity over the past forty-five years in Washington. Update: Peter Wehner has more and points to this WEEKLY STANDARD piece on Moyers by Steve Hayes.
