Even as Tribune Media Services announced it had dropped columnist Armstrong Williams after he admitted receiving $241,000 from the Department of Education to promote 'No Child Left Behind', new allegations surfaced today that the Bush administration may have paid Michael Moore to oppose the president's reelection.
Mr. Moore and the White House both deny the charges, but critics point to the "almost scary" relationship between Mr. Bush's electoral success and the vigorous efforts of the Oscar-winning filmmaker to tarnish the president's image.
"The more he attacked Bush, the more Americans loved the president," said an unnamed spokesman for the American Society of Correspondents, Editors and Writers. "You don't have to be Oliver Stone to see the outlines of a conspiracy there. Michael Moore practically handed Bush his second term on a silver platter."
"The outcry from professional journalists over these pay-for-commentary scandals is not surprising," the source added. "They violated the journalistic code of honor. It's appalling to think that these men received compensation for weaving their biases into their work. Meanwhile, thousands of hard-working journalists do the same thing every day at no extra charge."

Well when the wife and I went to the Detroit Zoo a few years ago, we did see a Hippo take a dump.
Or it could have been Mr. Moore?

Many people think Michael Moore makes his outrageous claims because he really believes them but I think he does it for a different reason.I think Moore does it because he knows that no matter what he says or how stupid it sounds the radical left will pay millions to hear it as long as it attacks president Bush.I heard his new movie will attempt to blame president Bush for the rise in medical expenses and also for the number of people without coverage.The liberals hate our president so much that Michael Moore could blame him for the weather being too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter and they would pay millions to hear it.He's got this system working so perfect that he doesn't need to be paid by the president when he can count on liberals to always pick up the tab.He's making millions feeding the hateful dellusions of the whacked out liberal scumbags of the world.
