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.
A sign made with the thumb and forefinger at a perpendicular, with a hand pointed at someone means "loser". Lardass did it to McCain after McCains slam on him. It appeared to be more directed at the crowd than McCain.
Perfect!
L sign = Loser, which was directed at McCain for outing him at the convention by calling him a "disingenuous" movie producer.
Its all over when they start eating each other! LMAO
ROTFLMAO!!! :)
If it was that good, Rush will play some "snippets" today.
And the most mystifying part is, how could he squeeze that bloated body under the bleachers at the football stadium? It couldn't have been a pretty sight.
I'm wondering what she thinks about his SMELL!
Good point. I'll bet dollars to donuts (unless Moore gets his hands on them first) that Rush will play excerpts. Another poster has reported that Laura Ingraham has already done so.
Kinda makes you feel sory for the businesswomen with whom he undoubtedly contracts.
Perhaps this was the MM "jump the shark" moment?
I am seeing the swift boat ads quite a bit now. Not just in battleground states, apparently since I live in TN and saw it and another guy mentioned on another thread he saw it in Louisiana. More swift boat ads and a round of polls showing the cratering support for Kerry and it could get really bad for democrats.
Contracts . . . chlamydia?
Having done that to Ann Coulter, they're just trying to be "fair and balanced."
Oops, no wait a minute, that's another network...
I get that feeling.
Its funny she starts this attitude right after McCain gave Moore a swift kick in the ass.
This IS hard to believe.
Remember, they're not coming around, they're up to something.
Michael Moore is MARRIED???????????
A Cambodian man claims his pet dog has given birth to a kitten.
Hundreds of people have flocked to Te Huot's house after he claimed his 10-year-old pet Knou gave birth to a single grey kitten.
The owner said a forest monk who had visited him had told him that the dog had mated with a tiger.
