Michael Moore coverup
: 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 of prisoners that he had long before the photos from Abu Ghraib came out. Moore ducked and deflected as nimbly as an out-of-shape fat man can, which is to say, not at all. offline downloader keygen
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.offline downloader keygen
Oh, no one would ever accuse Moore of that!offline downloader keygen
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.offline downloader keygen
The Daily Stern
: FIGHT BACK: Howard Stern called the Daily News' alleged gossip columnist, Lloyd Grove, an f'ing scumbag last night.offline downloader keygen
He told the story this morning on the air, still "on fire" from the confrontation. Stern dropped into a party for a friend, not knowing that it would be swarming with press, but he's used to that. As he was talking to a friend, he said, some stranger was hanging on his shoulder listening to every word. Stern -- having been told in a what-bugs-you-about-Howard game on his show that morning that he turns his back on people in conversations -- didn't want to interrupt the conversation but he was bugged at this guy eavesdropping. Finally, he turned and the guy introduced himself. Howard puts on his stuck-up, poker-up-the-ass voice: "Lloyd Grove." offline downloader keygen
"You're an f'ing scumbag," Stern tells him. Grove is taken aback. Stern says Grove wrote something bad about him. Grove says he doesn't remember what he wrote, even though it was only a week or two ago. Yeah, right. Stern yells at him and tells him to get away. Finally, Stern's girlfriend, Beth O, gets him to leave. offline downloader keygen
But he's still on fire. Back home, he tries to find what Grove wrote. He calls his producer, Gary Dell'Abate, who tells him that Grove called Stern a "thief" for having a similar answer to Johnny Carson's 30 years ago when asked what he wanted on his tombstone: I'll be right back after these messages. A nonitem, as I used to call such things when I was a gossip.offline downloader keygen
Stern was heading back to that party to confront Grove with what he wrote but his model mate stopped him with tears and sex. He got his revenge on the air this morning. offline downloader keygen
