MICHAEL MOORE: 'BUSH GOT MORE VOTES'

Democrat conspiracy mongers currently pushing for a recount in Ohio in hopes of overturning the presidential election got no help last night from conspiracy monger-in-chief, Michael Moore, who told "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno that President Bush won the contest fair and square.

Asked why Democratic hopes went up in smoke on Election Day, Moore said simply, "I think Bush got more votes."

"The Republicans - I'll give them this - they had a story to tell," the Bush-bashing filmmaker conceded. "The Democrats, often times, aren't very good at telling a story."

Moore explained:

"And the [Bush] story was: Out of the ashes of Sept. 11 rose one man. And he stood on the rubble of lower Manhattan with a bullhorn and he said, 'I will protect you.'

"And he did," Moore added, as the audience began to applaud. "And we were never attacked again."

Dressed in a business suit and clean-shaven for the first time in years, Moore couldn't resist inserting the caveat: "That has nothing to do with whether we will be attacked again."

Still, his advice to disgruntled Dems had nothing to do with recounts or stolen elections or voter disenfranchisement.

"[Bush's victory] was just a couple of percentage points," the chastened-sounding movieman said. "People who voted for Kerry shouldn't be depressed at this point. They should pick themselves up . . . There's another game in four years. And we'll come back and do the best we can."

Man are the DUmmies pissed off at Michael Moore. If I were Michael Moore I would not post my e-mail address anymore. They have been e-mailing him nasty little notes. HOW QUICKLY THEY TURN ON THEIR OWN!

"The Democrats, often times, aren't very good at telling a story."

No, the Democrats made the mistake of telling your story. ;)

[areafiftyone]

I can't believe Michael Moore said this.

""The Democrats, often times, aren't very good at telling a story."

Story? It's more like they're not good at telling a joke. Their message and their party have become a joke and that is why they lose.

We know, Michael. We tittered through your little "film." :)

OK, somebody MUST have performed an exorcism on Moore. Was he being sarcastic? I missed the show.

Michael Moore, master of the obvious

[dfwgator]

Their story has grown tiresome.

[weenie]

I don't like Michael Moore and I certainly don't trust his intentions, but I begrudgingly admire his behavior in this single appearance.

Let's see what comes next.

This is a joke...isn't it?

From The Onion...right?

"I can't believe Michael Moore said this."

Once a shameless panderer, always a shameless panderer...

[ClaireSolt]

Still propagandists. No thought of listening and representing.

[DainBramage]

They will beg him to shut up next time. No theater will run his trash, no movie stars will help him,
no Cannes Film Festival will cheat for him, no pass to the convention floor, nothing.
Worst of all, no free buffets.

[cripplecreek]

I'm as happy as a little girl.

The Bush story is also true. The BS the DNC tried handing the people about Kerry being a hero, being tough on defense, etc was a lie. People can tell the difference. The fact that they went to see MM's crappy movie doesn't mean they liked it. People don't "like" a wreck on the highway but the still slow down to take a look.

What?? No notation as to whether Moore had "bathed" yet?

Maybe being dressed like a grown-up made him act more like a grown-up.

In his case, you're being generous.

Don't cry, Mikey. You can always make a sequel to Canadian Bacon...
