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.
Even if they cremated Moore and squoze his asses into a diamond, instead of it being yellow, it'd be brown from what he's made of and ought to be thrown in the Marianas Trench.
Well, yes and no. I read that as meaning Katie would rather rearrange her sock drawer than go to the Republican Convention.
"Don't worry, Mikey... I'll still go out with you, same as always...!" :)
In all my years of Today watching, I've never seen Katie be this blatantly rude to any guest. She obviously loathes the guy. A definitely flying pig alert.
Wait for the sign-then all prisoners will be released...
Yeah, but DANG. I've been stiff-armed before... but never on national TV!
Dan
Nice!!!
Okay, here's an anecdote from yesterday:
Local radio talent in Chicago Steve Dahl and Buzz Killman, both unabashedly Democratic, have begun making references like, "Kerry lost this election when... Kerry lost me when..." etc. They singled out Kerry's infamous "I voted for the $87 billion before I voted against it line," and the
"I'm John Kerry and I'm reporting for duty" stunt as nauseating moments where they decided Kerry couldn't win...
We're almost there. The Democrats have the razor to the vein.
Not-so-cute Katie's weathervane has turned on the proverbial dime.
LOL!
Excellent synoposis of the gum-smacking, two-day bearded, rotund repository of revulsion.
YOU were dumbfounded?
Imagine what (if anything) was running through Moore's mind!
And let me be the first to say (and quite proudly, I might add!)
ITS ALL DUBYA'S FAULT!
LMFAO ... almost worth seeing if I can DVR it ... almost ;)
>>What is going on here, Katey Couric dissing Michael Moore, the Kerry girls booed on MTV, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.
The walls in the 53rd precinct were bleeding...<<
Dr. Spengler, we need you here.
Kent, you really need to get out of Seattle! A giant floor tile? HA Ha
Michael Moore is the face of the Democrat Part, and it is an ugly face.
A.M., how can I fix that?
The Dems will lump Michael Moore with the Swift Boat Vets as who to blame for sinking the Kerry Campaign
Gee, Mike, she really would like to go out with you, but you are a fat, lying slob with no morals.
BTW, if you go to Thailand, I'm sure that you could buy a girlfriend there.
Did they? I know they pulled Ann Coulter. Haven't seen this about Moore. If so, it's an awfully weak track record of backtracking by USA.
