| Nader: Michael Moore betrayed me! |
| 2004-06-27 |
| From Nader’s campaign website; EFL. This is as much fun as watching two junior high girls fight over a boyfriend. Once upon a time, there was Michael Moore the First. He never forgot his friends. Come time for the Washington, DC premiere of Bowling for Columbine a while back, he invited his old buddies in Washington—gave them good seats and spent the rest of the evening with them. During his other movie’s premiere, he affectionately recognized how much those old friends helped him and supported him after he was mistreated and let go by Mother Jones. Wow! Even Mother Jones has standards. Whoda thunk it? He was generous with his words and time. Now there is Michael Moore the Second. Last night he hosted the Washington, DC premiere of Fahrenheit 9/11, and who was there? The Democratic political establishment, the same people whom he took to such mocking task on the road with us in campaign rally after campaign rally in 2000. Who was not there? His old buddies! Not personally invited, not personally hung out with. Translation: "You Sold Out to the Man! And what’s worse, you didn’t invite me to your party. Waaaahhhh!" (stamps tiny feet in impotent rage) Your old friends remain committed to blazing paths for a just society and world. As they helped you years ago, they can help you now. They are also trim and take care of themselves. Girth they avoid. That’s cold. Who knew Nader was capable of such insult? The more you let them see you, the less they will see of you. That could be their greatest gift to Moore the Second—the gift of health. What say you? |
