Newsmakers | Michael Moore, CNN, and a very bad word

Is Michael Moore not a nice man? Could Moore be a boor?
The New York Daily News reports that the portly director of the dissentious anti-Bush documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 was unutterably rude to CNN staffers Monday in Boston after he gave an interview on the Democratic National Convention's main floor for the cable channel's American Morning show.
To be on the floor, you need a coveted, priceless credential - and only a limited number are distributed. CNN gave Moore a floor pass so he could do the interview. Reportedly, after it was over, Moore refused to return it, even using the ultimate insulting word when he addressed a female CNN staffer.
"Oh, my God, I never use that kind of language," Moore tells the Daily News. "It's a complete lie."
He adds that CNN brass sent him an apology for the misunderstanding. But a CNN rep says, "There's no apology... . CNN expects an apology from Mr. Moore to the female staffer he abused."
See you folks then. In the meantime, here's yesterday's grades.
Oh I lovde it...now we finally find out who the real traitors in the officer corps were during the Clintoon years....i'm surprizedx we don't see General Zinni's name on there. Tell Shali to go diddle himself...he was a coward then and nothing he has done since m akes me believe any different. It is folks like him that have put our military in such dangerous disrepair...There is a special part of hell reserved for the likes of him
Note to CNN: Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas. But since sleeping with Saddamn, so to speak, didn't bother you, why should Moore get your knickers in a twist?
Reporting for light (headed) duty :-)
I don't think I am allowed to have this much fun. I see Medea was dragged out kicking and screaming last night. Heheheh
Just watched it. Brilliant!
I wish everybody would see that presentation.
Me, too. When I was about 10 years old, I listened on the radio. (no TV) I have never missed a convention, but I am really struggling through this one, even with the wine I consume, it's difficult. What has happened to our country?
MSNBC talking to Omarosa (The Apprentice) on the floor.
Her message to Teresa Heinz: "You go girl"
Omarosa tells Chris Jansing that thanks to the show she now has a platform and Chris asks if that means politics. Omarosa says people know she's interested in holding office one day but her main focus now is getting John Kerry in office.
Like most everything else to do with the convention, the event failed to live up to its billing.
KooKooKucinich :-)
MSNBC just showed a clip of Dick Cheney at a campaign event where he's given a basketball jersey. He held it up and said he probably shouldn't put it on because he might look like John Kerry in his picture yesterday.
Chris Jansing just trilled about Caroline Kennedy walking by but then gave a subtle slam to the Kerry ferry crossing today, saying you half expected him to do one of these--and she throwns her arms open ala Leonardo in The Titanic.
LOL
I wonder why the dims do not try to get this woman(Omarosa) front and center? <sarcasm
Bill Richardson is calling the convention to order. Invocation about to be given.
The demon'rats haven't put their full schedule for today up on their DNC website yet...grrrrrr.
Applause for prayer!
I am vewy pwowd of my gun-grabber Elmer Fudd cartoon!
