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.
The walls in the 53rd precinct were bleeding...
Ive allways wondered what the "beautiful people" in Hollywood really thought of Moore.
"But, come one, from talking after the shows, etc. You don't think I'm a jerk, do you?"
That comment by Moore means to me that she has told him privately that she loves his work!!
"I HAVE TO RE-ARRANGE MY SOCK DRAWER."
Candidate Kerry emitting guttural glub glub sound. Time for rats to abandon ship.
Sounds like Little Katie Leftist just realized that Kerry "may" not win the election. Such proper handling of Moore is not at all typical of the leftist media. She is up to something...(chuckle).
I think they all have their marching orders.
Friday, October 1.
Could Kerry's "prostate cancer" suddenly flare up again?
Nuff said Katie. It is the view of the dimheads like you.
Isn't that John Edwards' sock drawer?
Katie--your frustration's showing...
Dogs and cats living together......
Interesting, no one wants to be Moore's friend now.
I read yesterday that Clintonistas were on an MSNBC show Monday night along with Ron Silver. The topic turned to Michael Moore. The lefties argued that Moore is not the face of the democratic party and it was unfair to say so. Silver blasted back that every major Democrat attended his gala movie premier, the Black Causus had him as a speaker during their convention, and he was sitting in the presidential box hand in hand with Jimmy Carter.
The answer is obvious:
It's the end of time!
I'm starting to think I woke up in Bizarro World today.
Not until the Red Sox win the World Series.
Thrre's trouble in paradise.
USA today pulled him from the convention - they must have figured out he is hurting Kerry. And if he causes Kerry to lose, the Dems will turn on him like they did Nader.
