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.
another dem with no moral values. All she can do is scramble to the other side and hope someone throws her a rope.
I have a theory about the Kerry girls getting booed...
I suspect that the MTV crowd is so stupid that they thought it was the Bush girls.
Seriously, I give that group no credit for having two brain cells to rub together.
The Gunny addressing Michael Moore; now there's a Kodak Moment.
Surely you jest? She was responding to his invitation to accompany him. She has covered many Republican events in her day.
The Tsunami is starting to rise!!!!!!! GO W!!!!
2. Did a flock of flying pigs circle NYC..and then land on top of Katie's head?
3. OR.......have the DNC fax machine's been humming?
Alex, I'll take #3 for $1000.......
FRegards,
strategery:
The science and art of using all the forces of a nation to execute approved plans as effectively as possible during peace or war while simultaneously allowing the enemy to flummox himself.
I think they are just tired of MTV always trying to ram Rat propaganda down their throats.
Moore and Katie Whore-Ick would make a fine couple if you ask me.
Did you have a chance to see the interview? Coming after all the other trashing of Moore she had done, it was obviously a classic girl-shoots-down-boy scenario.
She added: "let's face it, many people think you're a jerk."Moore is practically on his knees begging for affirmation from Couric. This was a window into his miserable soul. I'll bet he was getting flashbacks to his high school days when he was hoping to score a date from someone, anyone.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."
And believe me, I take a back seat to no one in my distaste for Moore.
It is the nature of arrogant people to do two these particular two things..
1)over estimate themselves and over reach
2)look at the masses of people as dumb sheep to be manipulated
This is true whether in politics, church, or business.
However, in the end.. 'those who are humble and see themselves as servants rather than manipulative masters will win the day.' We live in a moral universe and right eventually comes out right!
Have a good day!
And I thought they were perfect for each other...
The Democratic Party has obviously told Katie that MM is hurting them and to sell him out. The reality is that Kerry is hurting the Democratic Party more.
And I should also mention that if that's the way it came off, as you describe, then I think it's fabulous! Just so there's no misunderstanding.
I know what you mean. I really had to pinch myself. I literally couldn't believe what I was seeing, but, yes, it happened, right down to the "arrange my sock drawer" line.
