Did I hear Malloy right?

WTF happen on Leno last night with Michael Moore. Couldn't see it at the time.

[CornField]

1. I didn't get to see it, but from reading the posts here

It seems that MM was in a suit, had gotten a hair cut and shaved. When Leno asked him what happened, MM said, "He got more votes."

About half the folks think it was all sarcasm... the other half are disillusioned with MM.

5. The other half

People here are the most reactionary people I've ever seen in my life.

Everything MM has ever done is forgotten after one night on Leno, largely due to their own inability to recognize sarcasm and great ability to freak out and write nonsensical OMG posts.

Stop replying to them, they'll go away eventually. :-)

7. SECOND Most Reactionary People You've Seen In Your Life

The MOST reactionary people you've ever seen in your life frequent a right-wing website and keep a gun next to their mouse.

13. Not really, FReepers don't cut and run the SECOND their

heroes show the slightest bit of uncertainty.

They'll even complain about Bush on rare occassions, but I'll be damned if they won't still support him.

6. MM on Leno...

He pretty much came out and said, "F**k it, I'm thinking about me now, me and my tax cut." I believe it was mostly sarcasm and exhaustion. He worked so hard to get Kerry vote out. He never said that snatch got more votes fraudulently or on the up and up. He had hecklers in the audience too which was weird, strange vibe, totally strange vibe from Moore and audience. Don't know how to feel either way. :shrug:

2. MM thing was an obvious pimping -- all tongue in cheek -- come on guys!

14. it's what U2 did a couple of albums back

when they decided to be ironic rock stars. It sucked.

3. There's a thread about this in G.D.

4. Moore came out in a suit

and a haircut - no hat. He claimed he wanted to look like a Republican. The joke was if you can't beat em, join em. He also talked about how he personally would benefit from * being in office 4 more years - he had good health ins and would be helped by tax cuts for the wealthy.

He also said * won because he 'got more votes'.

It was, in a way, Moore at his best, being very tongue in cheek. But it did offend some DUers.

8. I didn't see it, but it sounds like classic Moore sarcasm.

I almost wished I had seen it now.

On the other hand, the Mouth Breathers (aka The Red Menace) probably thought he was being serious.

As did a few of the Smurfs.

10. Ah-ha! So Moore was just being his usual smart-ass self.

Now I'm sorry I didn't see it. If I had, I might just have recognized it as satire on Moore's part.

12. i feel better after reading about it too, makes sense...

i was not concerned about what he was wearing, that meant nothing, but was worried about not mentioning fraud...but it seems he came on doing a total schtick...whew!

[peekaloo]

9. The first line out of his mouth was

this was how he would dress for his IRS audit.


Big Mike "born again"......classic.

11. Another weird piece of the puzzle...

I just have to wait and see what MM is up too... I honestly, don't think he rolled over. I hope not. Scary thought.

15. so what's Malloy talking about-- I'm listening to yesterday's

Majority Report so I'm missing it.
