CONTROVERSIAL film maker Michael Moore has admitted that his hero is RTE's feisty Washington correspondent Carole Coleman after her tough interview with President George Bush.
Moore, whose family roots are in from Tipperary, Cork and Waterford, said: "In the end, doesn't it always take the Irish to speak up?"
"She's my hero!" Moore said repeatedly about RTE's correspondent in an exclusive interview with the Irish Independent. "Where are the Carole Colemans in the US press?" he asked, alluding to Ms Coleman's rigorous questioning of President Bush on the eve of his visit to Ireland last month. "I know that a lot of the people in your country like the American people, that you see something charming about us - the way we just wear it all out there on our sleeve," he said.
Moore lamented that, prior to his anti-Bush movie, 'Farenheit 9/11', taking the Palme d' Or at the Cannes Film Festival in May, not many people in the mainstream media were willing to listen to him.
"No one in the US, certainly not the networks, were interested. Maybe next time I'll go to Carole and RTE with something good," he said.
"I want the rest of the world to go back in time to September 12, the day after 9/11 when we received the good will and compassion from across the world. We've squandered so much of that good will since then."
Moore alternates between stand-up comic, film promoter and agent provocateur. He is resolute in his stated mission of dislodging Mr Bush from the White House. And he says that any politician from any country who helped him with the war in Iraq should be voted out of office.
"I think the Spanish started it. They threw out their prime minister, who didn't listen to the will of the people, and it's my sincere hope that the Australians, the Italians and the others who joined Mr Bush in this war will also be removed by the citizens of their countries.
"And I hope this film helps to do that."
Mr Moore said one of the biggest puzzles he was not able to solve while making the film was why such an "intelligent guy" like British prime minister Tony Blair "hooked up" with Mr Bush.
"That is something for science to figure out," Moore said. "Maybe someday, someone could do some examination, put him under hypnosis."
Among other things, Moore's new documentary film depicts President Bush as having a sinister motive for pursuing the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.
That plot surprisingly has made 'Fahrenheit 9/11' the highest grossing documentary in the US ever, bringing in over $60m in less than two weeks on a limited number of screens across America.
And his intent? "Come on," Moore said, "if we can impeach a President over a stain on a blue dress, don't you think we ought to be able to get this guy out after he took us to war based on lies and deceptions?"
Meant to post this a few days ago
Oh, so that's what he was impeached for.
Umm...everywhere but Fox News, Mike.
My condolences.

STFU Moore. Colin Farrell, not you, has the best thing- I mean is the best thing that has come out of Ireland EVER... well next to Stout of course.
This guy is just too full of himself for it to last much longer. Something is going to happen to bring him down a notch or two. I just feel it in my bones.
I have only one word:PHWAORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I'm about to faint excuse meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Carol Coleman was rude in that interview (if you could call it an interview).
Now compare it to Miriam O'Callaghan's excellent interview with Bill Clinton on RTE's Prime Time the other night, and you'll see the difference in calibre of RTE's female journalists.
And Miriam is good looking too - unlike Carol, who has teeth that would chomp a farmers arse through a ditch.
A woman is not a hero. A woman is a heroine. And this is the latest god for democrats? It's insane.
Us conservatives should really change tactics. Let's actually encourage the left in their conspiracy theories. I am sure we can help them reach even higher levels of stupidity. Let's plan it out:)
yes you do that oh and btw why not stay there until your heart gives up trying to pump through all that lard youv e been burying it in for the last 50 years or so
You know, Happygal, I spent six years overseas in the Air Force in a bunch of places and never heard anyone express themselves like you do, in ANY language:) And I thought I have well-trained brain cells. Tell me more:):)
Ummm...I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing! *L* Gift of the gab?
It's a good thing:) And refreshing, actually:)
Well thank you! Now I've gone beetroot! :-)
Here's something for science to figure out: Does Michael Moore's heart pump cheez whiz or mayonaise.
BTW, you should have gotten them to post you in Ireland somewhere!
You'll hear quite a few colourful expressions over here. Typical Irish - we never use one word, when several dozen will suffice! ;-)
Now compare it to Miriam O'Callaghan's excellent interview with Bill Clinton on RTE's Prime Time the other night, and you'll see the difference in calibre of RTE's female journalists.
And Miriam is good looking too - unlike Carol, who has teeth that would chomp a farmers arse through a ditch.
The female version of Colin Farrell, herself and Sharon Ni Bheolain, (how do you post pictures with HTML?).
As for the interview, I haven't watched it, but I have it recorded, I'll watch it tonight when I am drunk.
I doubt Miriam's mouth would be remotely in the vicinity of a farmer's posterior, although you wouldn't know what she's into.
