<< Attention ALL MOOREWATCH commenters | Home | Kuwait for the DVD >>

Hug first, ask questions later.

At the Washington D.C. June 23rd premier of Moore’s Fahrenheit 9-11, the big story was how many Democratic Party politicians showed up and lauded Moore as a hero for their cause. He was greeted by several politicans, and when Moore spotted Sen. Tom Daschle (D- SD) he first extended a hand, and then unexpectedly wrapped his big ‘ol arms around the senior Senator:

“he gave me a hug and said he felt bad and that we were all gonna fight from now on. I thanked him for being a good sport.”

(according to a recent Time magazine interview.)

Can you just imagine how validated Moore must have felt as he exchanged this plutonic geature of love and acceptance with the Senate minority Leader? His heart must’ve been in his massive throat as the recipient of an endorsement like that. He couldn’t wait to share his special moment with the rest of us , via his Time magazine interview. Thanks for sharing Michael.

Only one problem with that though.....

It wasn’t Tom Daschle. OOOOOOPS!

The “lucky” recipient of Moore’s public display of affection was none other than Cam Cowan, a D.C. securities lawyer. WHO? ( It doesn’t matter, he’s basically a nobody) “I was the wrong man in the wrong place, I guess,” Cowan said.

As for Senator Daschle, he was quick to point out that he was nowhere near the controversial director:

“I know we senators all tend to look alike. But I arrived late, and I had to leave early for Senate votes. I didn’t meet Mr. Moore,” Daschle said.

From Daschle’s blog

Today, the Thune campaign attacked Tom Daschle for attending the movie Fahrenheit 911 earlier this week. Somehow, the Thune campaign incorrectly inferred that Daschle’s attendance at the film equated an endorsement of director Michael Moore’s political views

(Thune is running against Daschle for is seat in November)

So, according to Moore’s new definition of LYING, as he stated in his recent interview wit Bill O’Reilly, we see Moore has been caught in ANOTHER BLATANT LIE.

There are no “mistakes” Michael, only lies.

BTW, I wonder how it makes Moore feel to find out that not only did Daschle rush to deny hugging him but also to say that in no way does he endorse or agree with F9-11 or even Moore’s political views.

That’s gotta sting a little bit, huh?
