Rudy Giuliani on Michael Moore
An emotional Rudy Giuliani yesterday lashed out at the director of the Bush-bashing film "Fahrenheit 9/11," saying, "I don't need Michael Moore to tell me about Sept. 11th." Giuliani, billed as "America's Mayor" for his handling of the terror crisis almost three years ago, took aim at the flabby filmmaker during a GOP rally in Boston just hours before John Kerry accepted the Democratic presidential nomination. "I lived through it," Giuliani told a reporter who had asked him if Moore's blockbuster documentary would push Bush out of office, as some pundits have suggested. "I saw too much pain, too much suffering," the ex-mayor said.
Though Giuliani hasn't seen Moore's controversial documentary which has grossed over $100 million he dubbed it "pure propaganda, propaganda for political purpose and for profit." Giuliani then ripped into Democrats for treating Moore like a "rock star" at the convention. While Moore was given no official role at the convention, he has been treated like a celebrity at many events and even sat in ex-President Jimmy Carter's box Monday night.
