Here's the text of Moore's missive:
Dear Caroline,
We've never met, so I hope you don't find this letter too presumptuous or inappropriate. As its contents involve the public's business, I am sending this to you via the public on the Internet. I knew your brother John. He was a great guy, and I know he would've had a ball during this thrilling and historic election year. We all miss him dearly. ... The media is reporting that Senator Obama has narrowed his alternatives to three men: Joe Biden, Evan Bayh and Tim Kaine. They're all decent fellows, but they are far from the core of what the Obama campaign has been about: Change. Real change. Out with the old. And don't invade countries that pose no threat to us. ... What Obama needs is a vice presidential candidate who is NOT a professional politician, but someone who is well-known and beloved by people across the political spectrum; someone who, like Obama, spoke out against the war; someone who has a good and generous heart, who will be cheered by the rest of the world; someone whom we've known and loved and admired all our lives and who has dedicated her life to public service and to the greater good for all.
That person, Caroline, is you ... Caroline, you are one of the most beloved and respected women in this country, and you have been so admired throughout your life. You chose a life outside of politics, to work for charities and schools, to write and lecture, to raise a wonderful family. But you did not choose to lead a private life. You have traveled the world and met with its leaders, giving you much experience on the world stage, a stage you have been on since you were a little girl.
What is he doing? Asking her to the prom? The letter sounds like a high school nerd’s love letter to a cheerleader.
Why not. She doesn’t have any applicable expreience either.
I couldn't read the whole letter . I expected him to ask for some item of clothing or something . Creepy . Life ain't easy when you're fat and greasy .
He has his minority status, she has name recognition … team them up. Empty suit, empty skirt, perfect pair.
Right. They were best friends, Michael Moore and old John-John.
Wonderful plan, Mikey - two people with absolutely no experience, trying to lead the greatest nation on earth.
“high school nerd’s love letter to a cheerleader”
LOL
Everyting about Moore is presumptuous.
Ultimate Justice: Moore doing the Kennedy to the Kennedy’s.
I’m sure she gets letters like this all the time. If she’s smart she turns them over to the FBI.
Did the letter have greasy sweat stains on it?
[He was a great guy, and I know he would’ve had a ball during this thrilling and historic election year.]
A ball? JFK, Jr. would have been the DNC nominee! That is what was so sad when the Kennedys inducted Obama into Camelot.
Amazing how many “progressives” want to go back to a past that never really existed.
Well she does have less experince than he does....!
Oh wow he knew John Kennedy ....like 10,000 other annoying people did
