Bill Moyers has apologized to former Secretary of the Interior James Watt for referencing a quote that had been wrongly attributed to Watt. In a speech Moyers gave in December that was reprinted on TomPaine.com (The Delusional Is No Longer Marginal ), Moyers included the quote,  "After the last tree is felled, Christ will come back," and attributed it to Watt. There is no historical record that Watt ever made the statement. The sentence has been removed from the TomPaine.com article. Moyers' apology is reported here.
