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.
Those liberals sure have their hand signs down pat.
>>Everything was fine until D##kless here showed up.
Is that true?
Yes, that man has no D##K<<
I forgot that line! It works so well with MM!
Sorry.....not interested in the Fat or the Perky one. I would rather clean my septic tank.
Kidding, but it sure reads that way, doesn't it?
Katie would apparently rather do that than go out with Moore.
Nope, your're ok!!
The show was taped in a "blue" zone.....
and we all know that any liberal dominated area is a
Wierd Parallel Universe!!!
(h--l, just look at Lawrence, KS, LA County, California and for really wierd, San Fransisco!!)
That was This morning?
yep the dems are looking to restore their reps now. Katie darlin has read the ratings and people think she is the spawn of satan. NOw it is full panic mode to save her career.
Not everything at a convention has to be evaluated on terms of how it helps or hurts a campaign? Maybe it was just a chance for the Bushes be together as a family and do something together, a rare chance at that. People need to lighten up. Sure, the twins better not quit their day jobs, so what?
Moore is loud and has found a way to catch the public's eye, but he's nonetheless a fool with the face of a fool. It is interesting that he seems to strike a chord in Ms. Kouric that is stronger than her hatred of George Bush. I'm sure even she was surprised.
"Off topic, I was in a book store not long ago and overheard someone mention someone high up that worked on F-9/11 is some how directly related to Kerry.
You ever hear of this?"
I heard Ferris Bueler was going to donate a Kidney
> OOPS!! I meant ASHES
Aw, heck. Leave it as it is, it's better.
I think Moore made the ultimate mistake of crossing the streams.
LOL

Katie doesn't want Moore as the face of the Dims, but I guess she doesn't realize he epitomizes the vast majority of the Kerry supporters. They absolutely idolize Moore. I was regretfully among a group of them last night. They are unashamedly Bush-haters to the core of their very beings; they're driven by an unreasonable hatred for President Bush. And these people are teaching your children.
Yes, it was during the 9-9:30 AM hour in EDT, I believe.
The walls in the 53rd precinct were bleeding...
I've seen every form of flaming known to man . . . but this shocks the heck out of me.
Check that. I see that I posted the thread at 9:06 AM EDT. That would mean it was probably on during the 8:30-9 half-hour.
