October 9, 2004 -- MICHAEL Moore is in negotiations to screen his George Bush-bashing documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11," on television the night before the presidential election.
A possible deal to show the incendiary film was reported in Variety yesterday, with "TV sources" saying that In Demand, the largest pay-per-view distributor in the U.S., was planning to air it between 8 and 11 p.m. on the night of Nov. 1.
Columbia TriStar, which released the "Fahrenheit" DVD last week, has the right to block any small-screen broadcast while the DVD is in distribution.
Variety quoted "a rep for the 'Fahrenheit' camp" as saying, "There are no signed contracts. DVD sales are going through the roof." But a source close to Moore and the Weinstein brothers, Harvey and Bob, who financed the $6 million jeremiad, told PAGE SIX'S Tom Sykes that there are indeed plans afoot from Moore's end to have the $120 million-grossing movie screened on TV before the election.
"It's all happening through the Fellowship Adventure Group," said our Moore mole, referring to the special company that the Miramax-founding brothers set up to finance, distribute and market "Farenheit 9/11" after Disney refused to distribute it earlier this year. "It's true. All this is being talked about," the source said.
If Moore and the Weinsteins can cut a deal with Columbia Tri-Star allowing the flick to be shown on TV, it seems likely that, to appease Tri-Star, they wouldn't use the "Fahrenheit 9/11" title. Instead, it would be part of a three-hour pay-per-view "event" titled "Michael Moore's Pre-Election Special," bookended by interviews with like-minded activist celebrities.

Man, this guy is one demented f#@$. Did Bush kill his puppy or something? Steal his Ho-hos?
Yawn. I can't wait to see these lamebrains on the day after the election.
Please use the actual headline when posting articles. Thanks.
Yeah, a pay per view event is sure going to convince undecided voters to vote for John Kerry. Frankly, if you are still undecided at this point---not to mention on election eve---I seriously question why you should be allowed to vote.
I'll be voting and watching the returns so I won't see it and others will be doing the SAME thing - SO - AIR IT! Very few will see it and if they tape it, it cuts into the guys $$$ and when viewed late it will be AFTER the election.
Let's think about the people that are actually going to pay to view, folks. If it weren't so sad, it would be funny. I don't think anyone that is apolitical would be motivated to spend the bucks and I don't think anyone here would either.
I hope those who are on email lists for certain 527's let us know about the "watching parties" that are sure to come.
On pay-per-view

I'm glad loser Dems are pouring their money into Moore's bank account rather than Kerry's campaign. Keep it up, tubby.
I believe the story goes Moore sat on his own puppy.
Moore becomes a has-been after the election. The Dems will have used up his usefulness.
Or ate it.
Reminds me of a song lyric, "Teenage angst has made me rich, now I'm young and bored.." I am sure you can come up with a suitable parody line using lies, liberals, fat, etc.
He has taken the Democratic Party lower than I ever thought it would go. Liberals have no one but themselves to blame for their current state of affairs and the fact that everyone has to question everything they do or say.
That first picture can't be described in words. Leaves me speechless.
