On Friday, Bill Moyers interviewed John McCain on his PBS show Now, which he's been doing for years and years.

Why do I love Bill Moyers?

Read the transcript.

Notice how in all the questions Bill asks McCain, all of them were questions of substance. The Senator was on the show to promote his book, Worth Fighting For, which is primarily about the influence of money in politics. Given the scope and format, there was no reason whatsoever that a different journalist or reporter would have slipped in a bunch of stupid, tabloidy bullshit questions to McCain ("would you be John Kerry's running mate?" "are you switching parties?" "are you and Bush on good terms?" etc).

But not Bill Moyers. He delved into the campaign finance issue, and stayed there for the whole interview. TFM salutes you!
