Daschle: I Did Not Hug That Man
Talon News ^ | July 12th, 2004 | Michael Illions

Did they or didn't they? Depends on what the definition of hug is.

Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD) has denied reports attributed to quotes made by Michael Moore that the two shared a hug at a Washington premiere of Moore's film "Farenheit 9/11."

In a Time magazine piece about the movie, Moore claims that the two shared an embrace and that Daschle promised the film maker they would fight the good fight together.

"He gave me a hug and said he felt bad and that we were all gonna fight from now on," Moore said.

Sen. Daschle not only denies the embrace, but claims the two have never even met.

"I know we senators all tend to look alike. But I arrived late, and I had to leave early for Senate votes. I didn't meet Mr. Moore," Daschle said.

Does Moore never tell the truth? Ever?

I have to believe Dash Rip-one on this one. No way Tommy could reach his little arms around a mass the size of Vermont.

OH yes you did Tommy. You not only hugged him you kissed his feet and groveled about like nothing ever seen before.

Clinton got Lewinsky. Daschle got...Moore? One at least is female. Then again, slap lipstick and a stupid handbag on Michael and it's hard to tell them apart.

The voices in their head, the laws of economics, herpes break-outs, common sense, anything that remotely resembles traditional morality....I could go on.

But--- But--that would make either Micahel Moore or Lil Tommy a LIAR.

Agree. Dashle's best defense is the physical impossibility of anyone smaller than Shaq being able to actually hug Michael Moore.

Please let a picture surface of lil Tom getting lost in the folds of Moore's billowing flesh with a big smile on his face. It would make a nice campaign ad in South Dakota.

"He gave me a hug and said he felt bad

I feel sorry for Mr. Daschle, he always seems to be deeply saddened or feeling bad about something. I think what he is subconsciously begging for IS a hug!
