Michael Moore: Bush Knows Osama's Location, Won't Go After Him
MRC ^ | Monday, May 12, 2003 | BrentBaker

To the astonishment of Bob Costas, Friday night on HBO far-left crank/movie producer Michael Moore claimed, during an interview on Costas' show, that the Bush administration "absolutely" knows where Osama bin Laden is located and doesn't go after him "because he's funded by their friends in Saudi Arabia!"

Moore speculated: "Do you think that Osama bin Laden planned 9-11 from a cave in Afghanistan? I can't get a cell signal from here to Queens."

Setting up the May 9 interview on HBO's On the Record with Bob Costas, which airs at 11:30pm EDT/PDT, Costas played a clip of Moore at the Academy Awards after winning for his "documentary," Bowling for Columbine: "We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons [edit jump] We are against this war Mr. Bush. Same on you Mr. Bush! Shame on you!"

During the pre-taped interview, Moore asked Costas: "What happened to the search for Osama bin Laden?"

Costas naively suggested: "Obviously they're pursuing Osama bin Laden as we speak."

Moore challenged the premise: "Really, you believe that?"

Costas: "Yes."

Moore: "You do believe that?"

Costas: "Sure. And if they could find him, and perhaps they eventually will, they'd be gratified by that."

Moore: "You don't think they know where he is?"

Costas, clearly astonished as Moore's paranoid thinking: "You think they know where Osama bin Laden is and it's hands off?"

Moore: "Absolutely, absolutely."

Costas: "Why?" Moore: "Because he's funded by their friends in Saudi Arabia!

He's back living with his sponsors, his benefactors. Do you think that Osama bin Laden planned 9-11 from a cave in Afghanistan? I can't get a cell signal from here to Queens, alright, I mean, come on. Let's get real about this. The guy has been on dialysis for two years. He's got failing kidneys. He wasn't in a cave in Afghanistan playing-"

Costas jumped in: "You think he's in Saudi Arabia, not Afghanistan, not Pakistan."

Moore: "Well, could be Pakistan, but he's under watch of those who have said put a stop to this because-"

Costas tried to nail him down on culpability: "Including, at least by extension, the United States, he's under the protective watch of the United States?"

Moore confirmed: "I think the United States, I think our government knows where he is and I don't think we're going to be capturing him or killing him any time soon."

At that point, HBO jumped to another segment of the taped interview.

For HBO's Web page for Costas' show which has replaced, for three months, Bill Maher's program: http://www.hbo.com/ontherecord/

As noted in the March 23 CyberAlert, John Fund documented how Moore's Bowling for Columbine, "a merry dissection of America's 'culture of fear' and love of guns, is filled with so many inaccuracies and distortions that it ought to be classed as a work of fiction." Plus, Oprah played an excerpt from the portion of Moore's film which listed the awful things the U.S. has supposedly inflicted on the world, such as: "1981: Reagan administration trains and funds 'contras.' 30,000 Nicaraguans die." Oprah declared that the presentation "resonated with a lot of people, me included." See: http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2003/cyb20030323.asp#7

MORE MONOMANIACAL MOORE

Back on March 31st, Moore was quoted as saying:( Fahrenheit 911 Update)

Moore: The primary thrust of the new film (pseudo-documetary) is what has happened to the country since September 11 and how the Bush administration used this tragic event to push its agenda. It certainly does deal with the Bush and bin Laden ties. It asks a number of questions that I don't have the answers to yet, but which I intend to find out."

In a health society, Michael Moore, Scott Ritter, and Bill Clinton would be as attractive and interesting to the press as Maclean Stevenson. Less.

So, does Moore have, like, inside information, that, you know, the rest of us, like, don't have? You know?

I mean, we know the guy's an idiot, but sheesh! He's breaking the Idiotometer and he's contributing to global warming with all the hot air he spews out of his mouth. Save the world!! Make Michael Moore shut up for good. It's for the children.

I wondered if anyone else noticed that Moore resembles a pig, but he's obviously not as smart. Also, recall how liberals used to bash Rush for being heavy. Why do they express no contempt for this corpulent, sloven, crass liar?

Moore: I can't get a cell signal from here to Queens

Global phones, Michael, Iridium, and Inmarsat satellite phone systems. You're jokes aren't even funny! That was a joke, right?

Osama is hiding out in Michael Moore's rectum. There's room for Saddam, Uday and Qusay in there too.

His bulk alters the local gravity, causing the signal to bend to a point where it's no longer intelligible - which goes a long way to explain the stuff he says as well.

He's back living with his sponsors, his benefactors. Do you think that Osama bin Laden planned 9-11 from a cave in Afghanistan? I can't get a cell signal from here to Queens, alright, I mean, come on. Let's get real about this.

I heard this exchange this morning on Howard Stern. During the part quoted above, Moore adopted that favorite tactic of your average liberal when they’re spouting utter nonsense – speaking through the condescending laugh. They use it when they know they are talking out their ass, but try to make the listener feel stupid for not seeing the “obvious truth.”

The more idiotic and illogical the assertion, the more condescending the laugh.

To his credit, Costas sounded completely dumbfounded by the mind-boggling absurdity of his claims. He just let Moore make a total ass of himself.

"I can't get a cell signal from here to Queens."

I can get a cell signal from Seattle to Queens, and I've done so often. Of course, I'm not a hyperbolic, lying, disgusting leftist slob with a political axe to grind, either.
