I think it would be interesting for Bill Moyers to interview the Dalai Lama

on the current financial crisis.

I chose the Dalai Lama because he has a profile most Main Street Americans aren't very familiar with, and have no real set of responses at the ready for observations he makes.

IMO Mitch McConnell could learn a thing or two from the Dalai Lama.

1. He'd better hurry up. They're both getting pretty old.

Wasn't the Dalai Lama in the hospital recently?

2. Yes, they're getting older, but it would be insructive to hear what

they had to say.

The Republican Senators are disgracing themselves over this stimulus package. A bit of the longer view might be useful.

3. His Holiness would explain that...

it just does not matter, money comes and goes - it just does not matter, a guy like him would not even notice it even if it were his own money or the whole economy of the country he was chosen to rule.

I saw Barbara Walters do an interview with the Dalai Lama, I do not remember much of it but he did say that phrase, and she ended up kissing his cheek - but he talks a lot others and with Riz Khan and Larry King - I'm sure even Bill O'Rilley could not get him upset about a simple thing like a financial crisis. I wish I could be that care free myself, but that is what i think he would say with Bill Moyers.

4. That sounds like an accurate take to me.

I was leaning that direction also, but would welcome whatever the man had to say on any subject.

The thrashing and howling going on in the 111th Congress right now is very likely a temporary annoyance for someone like the Dalia Lama, who is likely more concerned about the continuum of suffering versus the imperative of peace throughout infinity, as opposed to whether Mitch McConnell is a principled penny-pincher or a noisy nutbag.
