In perhaps the most stunning morning news show interview I've ever seen, Katie Couric just got through thoroughly trashing Michael Moore.
She began by criticizing the scenes in Fahrenheit 911 depicting a pre-war Iraq of children peacefully playing and weddings taking place. "Wasn't that misleading?" Moore claimed he only used the footage to show the kinds of people killed by US bombing, not to suggest Saddam's Iraq was a "utopia."
Next, Katie said that "many people say the Dems don't want you to be the face of the party."
"Who said that?" demanded Moore. "Well, Tim Russert for one," answered Katie.
She added: "let's face it, many people think you're a jerk."
An obviously hurt Moore responded: "but you don't think I'm a jerk, do you Katie?"
Katie refused to come to his aid: "well, my views aren't important, it's the views of the Dem party."
"But come on, Katie, you know me."
"I really don't know you very well."
"But, come one, from talking after the shows, etc. You don't think I'm a jerk, do you?"
"I really don't know you well enough to say that."
Finally, in a scene so amazing I could hardly believe my eyes and ears, Moore virtually asked Katie out on a date, and was shot down with a classic co-ed line.
Katie asked Moore if he'd be going back to the convention and Moore said he would, probably tonight and tomorrow. Then Moore added: "will you come with me, Katie?"
A shocked Katie replied: "No," then, incredibly, added: "I HAVE TO RE-ARRANGE MY SOCK DRAWER."
Yes, she actually said it. Katie made it clear that she loathes Moore and fears that as the prominent face of the party, he is dragging down her boy Kerry.
An absolutely stunning TV moment. Catch a replay if you can.
You know, subjecting yourself to these shows does have its rewards once in a while.
Thanks.
I think you're right. Also, after McCain dissed him in his speech, the media realizes they need to push Moore into the background. McCain has a lot more credibility with the average voter than does Moore. Michael Moore will find out that the RATS only love him if he is of use to them. Right now, he's not.

The thing is, Michael Moore lambasted the Rat Party for years saying they were too conservative. Frankly, I was shocked that he endorsed Wesley Clark for President. Sounds like he got blinded by the Hollywood glitterati and wanted desperately to become one of them.
I haven't put on my pressure suit and gone over to DU lately. How are they taking all this? I just thought of something, 'The Study of Democratic Underground' could be a great dissertation for an abnormal psychologist.
The dogs and cats part is the worst of all!
If this is true then we have to have woken up in some weird parallel universe this morning.....
Semper Fi
Trust me, watch this if you can. It was absolutely epic. I have no doubt it will be the behind-the-scenes talk of the day in the MSM.
As in Terry McAuffle, Bill & Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Harold Ickes.

Or, until the Tampa Bay Lightning win the Stanley Cup.
Oh, wait. Nevermind.

Look, it's way too early in the morning to be f'ing with me here - don't make stuff up and post it as the truth (yea, like kc would trash mikey on tv). Are you on drugs? Is it possible you were hallucinating? Good line about the sock drawer, though.
Moore just excites the lunatic fringe. He's a walking freak show.. That's not the face the dems want out there..
I wouldn't put anything past them.
WOW! Katie actually said this or are you pulling our legs????? Maybe in an attempt to to save sagging ratings she is moving to the right?
Oh my goodness...Katie has finally seen [part of] the light!
no need to. it is accurate either way.
