Katie Couric Trashes Micheal Moore (!?!?!?)
2004-09-02
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."

#19  Moore versus Couric should have been a bout on celebrity death match.

#16  Anonymous6297, okay then, explain his "wife" and "children".

Money is an incredible aphrodesiac for some women.

#15  Anonymous6297, okay then, explain his "wife" and "children".

Actually, thinking of it, the children may be explainable--the mother is always certain.

Thusly, never mind... mystery solved!

#13  Stolen Line #3456:

"Michael Moore couldn't get himself laid if he disguised himself as a giant floor tile."

#12  Exactly right, BH. The Kerry campaign is going down like a French whore at a media convention, and beating on Lumpy is an easy way to win some points with the undecideds.
Al Qatie hasn't defected, she's just displaying some activist discipline.

#10  Expect Mike al-Moor to become the sacrificial lamb. I'm looking forward to it.
BTW, did Couric give Mikey the "L" gesture when he asked her out?

#8  I think the Dhimmicrats have come to realize that letting their psychos out to play is gonna cost them bigtime. Expect Mike al-Moor to become the sacrificial lamb.

#6  Sgt Mom ROFL! I doubt the press will turn on a dime against these LLL Hollywood types but this is a good sign. I didn't see it but I can imagine the fear in Katie's eyes and the churning in her stomach!

#4  Hmm...I may have to re-evaluate my estimation of Katie...

Umm... on second thought no, she still looks like a corpse and necrophilia definately isn't my thing....

#3  But, but, his heart is in the right place (for a lying socialist). Give a feller a chance Katie.

#1  Well, it's not as if he (shudder!) is exactly the answer to a maidens' prayer.
(pausing briefly to barf into the trash can at the very thought)
Sorry about that. Strong imagination, but weak stomach.
