I'm here if you need 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.
If you got cookies we got room!!!
This is classic "See, I told you so" for Ann Coulter. The left is vicious this way. They rode Moore until he became a liability, and now they are going to just pants him.
I would love to see a replay of that.
Stay safe my friend. Frances looks like a bad one.
Outdoing yourself each time! Thanks for the good work.
I know looks shouldn't matter but jeez this guy, and his wife, are BUTTT ugly; and gross. We need to put a pic of Arnold and Michael side by side with the caption: who would you vote for?
I'm here if you need me!
Katie is an over used cheerleader for the left. She knows her party is losing.
I agree 100%. Unlike the brain dead street protesters who actually believe the Marxist clap trap, for big time Democrats (media included) it's all about personal power and prestige.
Thanks, SK. I almost literally could not believe my eyes during this interview. Definitely one for the time capsule. Hope it is replayed and that video links to it will become available.
Moore is persona non grata in the Dem party now. He served his usefulness to them and now they are sacrificing him. Ha Ha!
I remember an inerview between the to of them shortly after F911 and its fallout. She came on strong but lost it when he started blaming the MEDIA for being lackluster and not challenging Bush enough on any issues. Accesed them of rolling over to dumb ol' Dubya.
Katie no like. Katie mad. Mad enough to eat BB's and crap ten-penny nails. No love lost here in today's grudge match.
Spawnette O'Satan,
ya The Hildabeast is what We the People need to watch out for, does wolfbain, garlic, the cross, wooden stake or what protect US from this domestic/demonic enemy? Kerrys' just a shill for her time to come.
Can't fool me. I can tell that's a photoshop manipulation.
I'd recognize Hillary's body anywhere.
btt
Rats deserting a fast sinking ship.
It's going to be fun watching them all turn on each other
and try to distance themselves from their more distasteful
baggage. Michael "more chins than a chinese phonebook" Moore certainly comes to mind.
Michael Moore and John Kerry are destroying the Democrat Party! GOOD! GOOD! GOOD!
