12/1    Ah.. Michael Moore looked quite Republican the other night on Leno.
        \_ care to describe the incedent?
           \_ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1292105/posts
              \_ Well, he's still pretty ugly, but at least he's
                 presentable.  The shave and the haircut are big
                 impovements.
                 \_ Yeah, what's wrong with tailored suits?  They look good,
                    and you don't have to be a mega-rich Republican to afford
                    one.
                    \_ Michael Moore is far more mega-rich than most
                       Republicans I know...
                       \_ So what you're telling us is that most of the
                          Republicans you know are poorly dressed?
                          \_ Pretty much everyone I know is poorly
                             dressed, I live in CA.
                             \_ You mean the Bay Area.  Other parts of CA
                                are not nearly as bad.  For some reason,
                                Bay Area folks think polar fleece is
                                appropriate attire at a fancy restaurant.
                                \_ For some reason, people from southern
                                   California are assholes.  This is my
                                   unbiased opinion as someone born and
                                   raised outside California who lives
                                   outside California now.  There are
                                   exceptions, but I'm sure beyond a shadow
                                   of a doubt that you're not one of them.
                                   \_ Can you give specific examples, including
                                      where you were?
                                      Perhaps you are confusing this with
                                      rich people in general?
                                \_ Perhaps in Berkeley. Certainly not in
                                   San Francisco. You sound like a provincial
                                   spoiled Orange Country brat who spent
                                   four years on campus and thinks that
                                   what he saw on Telegraph Ave represents
                                   "Northern California."

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I

        we'll be paying something like 60% of their salaries (depends on
        their income) for 0% of their work.

presidio9 On Monday night, filmmaker Michael Moore made his first appearance on "Th e Tonight Show With Jay Leno" since the 2004 presidential election. As is often the case with Moore, he surprised the audience. But in this c ase, the surprise was the result of his new look. Moore appeared on stag e wearing a suit and tie, no beard or hat and a trim haircut. When asked by Jay Leno about his appearance, Moore quipped, "I thought I should look a little sharper for my IRS audit" and "If you can't beat th em, you might as well look like them." Moore told Leno that there was a reason President Bush was re-elected Nov ember 2, "He got more votes." "The Republicans - I'll give them this - they had a story to tell," Moore continued. "The Democrats, often times, aren't very good at telling a s tory. was just a couple of p ercentage points," Moore told the "Tonight Show" audience. "People who v oted for Kerry shouldn't be depressed at this point. View Replies To: presidio9 Something about not being able to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear... This cracker still looks like 50 pounds of pure sh#& shoved inot a 10 pou nd bag. View Replies To: presidio9 No one person can take more credit for getting Dubya Bush re-elected than Michael Moore. If the left want to ever win again, they'd best drown this turd. Damn, Who would have thought he could look like an even bigger doofus whe n all dressed up, then when he's sporting his slob look. View Replies To: presidio9 It's a shame that he changed his appearance. In that sweatshirt and baseball cap, needing a shave--he was the quintess ential mouthpiece for the Democratic Party--a SELF-ABORBED, SELF-INDULGE NT, SLOVENLY, GLUTTONOUS, fat-slob. Michael--please go back to the way you feel most comfortable, ok? View Replies To: DOGEY I'll wager that his suit is made from material that Goodyear had left-ove r from making their latest blimp. View Replies To: leadpencil1 It was obvious from his figiting & picking at himself, he was not used to being dressed up. Reminded me of Our Gang comedies when the kids went to church. View Replies To: eagle11 He can change wardrobes, but he cannot change who he is. Yeah, and think how many tents they could have made for the Darfur refuge es with the material it took to make his suit. View Replies To: Huck Yeah, Nadler has lost an incredible amount of weight. I think he did what Al Roker did and had his stomach stapled. I may not like the man's views and opinions, but I'm happy for him. last Disclaimer: Opinions posted on Free Republic are those of the individual posters and do not necessarily represent the opinion of Free Republic or its management.
