Bill Moyers Apologizes to James Watt for Apocryphal Quote

That quote from a few posts below ("After the last tree is felled, Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus") was apparently fake. That's embarassing for Bill Moyers, a fine journalist who made a mistake. I hope this won't distract his readers from the very un-fake message about environmental degradation that his article put forth.

Bill Moyers Apologizes to James Watt for Apocryphal Quote

This reminds me of how Richard Goldstein "apologized" to Andrew Sullivan for misquoting him in a Nation article. Or of how possible Senate-candidate Al Franken is calling for Brit Hume's resignation for misquoting FDR to suggest that he supported privatization.
