Huggy Bear

Posted by Lee on 07/09/04 at 03:13 PM

Michael Moore shows us, once again, that he is a pathological liar.

There was no hug between “Fahrenheit 9/11” director Michael Moore and Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle at the film’s June 23 premiere in Washington, D.C., Daschle said Thursday.

When asked about Moore’s account of a hug after the premiere and the criticism Daschle has received for it, the South Dakota Democrat said he and Moore did not embrace. Daschle said his schedule forced him to arrive late and leave early.

“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.

In a lengthy Time magazine piece about the movie and its political effects, Richard Corliss reported Moore’s criticism of Daschle’s leadership and the filmmaker’s account of a hug with Daschle.

“At the Washington premiere, Moore sat a few rows behind Daschle. Afterward, says Moore, ‘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,’” Corliss wrote.

Daschle, who was at the premiere at the invitation of producer/distributor Harvey Weinstein, said he and Moore have never met.

We are often accused by our detractors of nit-picking every single thing about Moore.  Well, if he wasn’t hell-bent on lying about every single aspect of his life we wouldn’t have to.

Honestly, folks.  How anyone could trust a single word that comes out of this guy’s mouth is beyond me.
