"Oh, food... sweet, accepting food," a heartbroken Moore sobbed, between great, gulping mouthfuls. "You're the only one who really understands me...!"

In perhaps the most stunning morning news show interview I've ever seen, Katie Couric just got through thoroughly trashing Michael Moore.
She began by criticizing the scenes in Fahrenheit 911 depicting a pre-war Iraq of children peacefully playing and weddings taking place. "Wasn't that misleading?" Moore claimed he only used the footage to show the kinds of people killed by US bombing, not to suggest Saddam's Iraq was a "utopia."
Next, Katie said that "many people say the Dems don't want you to be the face of the party."
"Who said that?" demanded Moore. "Well, Tim Russert for one," answered Katie.
She added: "let's face it, many people think you're a jerk."
An obviously hurt Moore responded: "but you don't think I'm a jerk, do you Katie?"
Katie refused to come to his aid: "well, my views aren't important, it's the views of the Dem party."
"But come on, Katie, you know me."
"I really don't know you very well."
"But, come one, from talking after the shows, etc. You don't think I'm a jerk, do you?"
"I really don't know you well enough to say that."
Finally, in a scene so amazing I could hardly believe my eyes and ears, Moore virtually asked Katie out on a date, and was shot down with a classic co-ed line.
Katie asked Moore if he'd be going back to the convention and Moore said he would, probably tonight and tomorrow. Then Moore added: "will you come with me, Katie?"
A shocked Katie replied: "No," then, incredibly, added: "I HAVE TO RE-ARRANGE MY SOCK DRAWER."
Yes, she actually said it. Katie made it clear that she loathes Moore and fears that as the prominent face of the party, he is dragging down her boy Kerry.
An absolutely stunning TV moment. Catch a replay if you can.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You kill me! :-D
You ever hear of this?
I wish I could have seen it. Well it's geting late i need to go jogging then take a nap so I can stay up to catch Rush.
FR Rocks!

Ullmann initially said that Moore would not be returning to Madison Square Garden. But he later said, in the end, the columnist has "to speak for himself."

Trust but verify, eh? Check out post #118. Apparently Laura Ingraham just played the audio, and the poster describes Moore as sounding like "a desperate high school dweeb."
I imagine he's quite repulsive to be around in person. Not surprised Katie wouldn't want anything to do with him, she may agree with much of his thinking, but it was probably all she could do to keep from wretching while he sat next to her. His stench must be over-powering.
Why did I suddenly visualize Demi Moore while reading that?
Thanks!
Rejected by the cheerleader. A highschool flashback for Moore.
OK, I need to know -- what IS the 'L-sign'???? That passed me by.
Well, this is only an admission on the lib media's part that they are WORRIED about Kerry's prospects. Don't be mislead into thinking they don't believe Moore's fantasies. They do.
But they also realize that Moore's attitude might be turning off some voters. OK a lot of voters. The elite left now wants to distance itself from its former "Rock Star." Katie even says so when she quotes Russert. But its too late for them to turn the Moore circuit off. The media created the Moore monster, now they'll pay the price. You'd think these elitist would have read Frankenstein.
dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria
pandemonium !
Bout time....
And after watching Arnold's barnstorming speech last night, who would you choose to represent your party?
Great! I am so excited this morning.
No, but perhaps someone can track it down.
