Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle -- embroiled in a tough re-election campaign in South Dakota -- distanced himself this week from documentary film director Michael Moore, whose "Fahrenheit 9/11" D.C. premiere he attended last month.

Transcribed:

Don't take me as I am in this election year, take me as I say I am, and then trust me...

So, does Puff Daschle's opponent have the cojones to beat him over the head with this in political commercials?

I've said for a while that a lot of pubbies could win using Mikey's liefest.

The Lakota Sioux will buy this lame Daschle excuse and will each vote two or three times for him. He and Johnson wouldn't be in office if they didn't buy the reservation vote every cycle, and apparently the Republicans let them. Perhaps S. Dak elections should be known as "Dances with Dummies".
