Two of TSM's most targeted celebs in one story

Well, the teams have been set and everyone is in position, so I'll make the first serve.

 

I bet Mikey was sitting on TWO chairs!

Heated exchange at 'Fahrenheit'?

 

Give Fox News Channel star Bill O'Reilly credit for even attending Monday night's lefty celeb-glutted premiere of Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" - even if he walked out of the 110-minute Bush-bashing movie halfway through.

 

Only last week on his syndicated radio show, O'Reilly likened Moore to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels - author of the "Big Lie" theory of political communication.

 

As O'Reilly explained to his radio audience, "Joseph Goebbels was the minister of propaganda for the Nazi regime and whose very famous quote was, 'If you tell a lie long enough, it becomes the truth.'"

 

So it was a tad awkward when O'Reilly, trying to sneak out of the Ziegfeld Theater and almost at the exit, came jowl to jowl with Moore himself.

 

Busted!

 

"Don't you want to stay and watch the whole film?" the director demanded.

 

A Lowdown spy reports that O'Reilly blushed, shook Moore's hand and muttered something about having to "tape something," and then slunk off into the night.

 

But "The O'Reilly Factor" tapes in the afternoon, hours before it airs at 8 and 11 p.m. - and well before Monday night's premiere.

 

Moore - who didn't return Lowdown's call for comment - was apparently skeptical. When his wife, Kathleen Glynn, came inside the theater a moment later, the filmmaker excitedly repeated O'Reilly's alibi in a scoffing tone.

 

Yesterday, a Fox News spokesman explained: "The movie started 40 minutes late, and Bill had a previous commitment to go to."

 

The flack added that O'Reilly was simply confirming Moore's booking on his Fox News show next week and that O'Reilly had already asked "Fahrenheit 9/11" producer Harvey Weinstein's office for a screener.

 

Again, problematic: A source close to the movie says no videotapes are being given out to anyone under any circumstances.

 

Surely not a little white lie!

 

And this one is for you, Jobber...

On a clip from a Dateline interview just shown on Today, Matt Lauer confronted Michael Moore about why he did not release images of abuse at Abu Ghraib that he had long before the photos from the prison came out. Moore ducked and deflected as nimbly as an out-of-shape fat man can, which is to say, not at all.

 

Moore said that when the photos did come out, it was being treated in a "tabloid" and "s&m" way and so he said he decided to release the images he had in his "context," which is to say, in his movie. Lauer asked why he didn't release the images earlier -- the implication being that he could have stopped further abuse against the Iraqi prisoners. Moore said, to whom? Lauer said, to the government. Moore shook his head. OK, Lauer said, then why didn't you break the story? How, asked Moore, I don't have a TV show. You could have come to us, Lauer said, and we would have shown the story. Moore said he doesn't trust big media. He said he would have been accused of pulling a publicity stunt for his movie.

 

Oh, no one would ever accuse Moore of that!

 

It's crap. If he really cared about the Iraqi people, Moore would have done something. But he didn't. He cares about his box office.

O'Reilly should've finished the entire film... I would've taken his criticisms more seriously if he had. This is at its base, just as ridiculous as those in the religious reich that held Harry Potter book burnings even though they had never read any of the books

 

Oh and Michael Moore is stupid... and very, very fat

You made a Mikey joke, and you're on the wrong team to make such a remark. Line violation. Point goes to the Conservative Brigade...

O'Reilly's a coward and a shithead, much like William F Buckley, who criticised Ayn Rand without having read her (oh, and I loathe Rand, too).

 

Three points for the lefties.

It takes a special man to make me approve of Mikey Moore.

 

That man...is Bill O'Reilly.

The only way this should have ended was Moore and O'Reilly fighting like Spock and Kirk in Star Trek. Minus that whole "best friends forced to do battle" thing.

 

I have a hard time deciding who I dislike more of these two idiots.

Anyone else envision Moore's appearance on "The O'Reilly Factor" degenerating into something along the lines of a "Pardon the Interruption" episode?

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

Actually, one time Mikey was on the show and it was quite an interesting conversation -- Mikey said that the rich should have a 70% tax rate, which I will give him props for because most of the "tax the rich" folks don't really give a figure.

 

I also liked Nader and Robert Reich as guests, too -- ol' Robbie even guest-hosted a few times. Too bad he doesn't come on anymore...

No way, Pardon the Interruption actually produces interesting opinions and intentionally funny dialogue. I have yet to hear either from these clowns.

funny the article should bring up the quote about telling a lie long enough, and eventually people will believe it, since that seems pretty much what the Bush administration did to the american people leading up to the war, only to back off almost all their previous statements once the bombs dropped and it was too late to turn back.

So very, very true.

Jesus .. this is almost like Iraq vs. Iran .. you don't really know for which side you should root.

 

Sadly enough I am not surprised that someone just had to be a total knee-jerk ass and spout out an utterly biased opinion when the whole thread actually agreed "gee .. both of these guys are fags."

 

Way to go, boys!

[Guest BDC]

I despise hypocrites more than bullies.

 

Moore officially ranks lower.
