White House mocks Michael Moore.

White House mocks Michael Moore.
On Thursday, Michael Moore announced that the Bush administration had issued him a subpoena for his trip to Cuba to help sick 9/11 rescue workers receive free medical care. Noting that many celebrities visit Cuba with no repercussions, Moore noted, “I didn’t go there like Cameron Diaz to get a tan. … I was there to help them.” In a briefing yesterday, White House spokesman Dana Perino responded to Moore’s tan comment by mocking his appearance: “That’s probably a visual we don’t need.”

“Nothing that many celebrities visit Cuba with no repercussions, Moore noted, “I didn’t go there like Cameron Diaz to get a tan.”
That’s “noting.”
July 28th, 2007 at 12:09 pmClassy.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:11 pmOther visuals we didn’t need:
– Some jackass in a stuffed flightsuit landing on a carrier and declaring “Mission Accomplished”
July 28th, 2007 at 12:12 pmVisualize Rush Limbaugh naked.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:12 pmWhen you’ve had your ass handed to you, mockery is all you have left. Let’s see what the Soviets do now…
July 28th, 2007 at 12:12 pmAbout says it all, doesn’t it?
July 28th, 2007 at 12:14 pmPerino must be another closet Republican.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:17 pmWoops, never mind. :P
July 28th, 2007 at 12:18 pmHey I do not want to see Tony Snow in a bathing suit with all his surgical scars either. If we saw Bush laying on the beach, then we all might throw up in disgust.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:19 pmVisualize chimpy, shooter, and all the other repug thugs in the crossbars hotel. That would be the most welcome site I can possibly think of.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:21 pmWait, is she trying to say Cameron Diaz getting a tan is a visual we don’t need? How Un-American!
July 28th, 2007 at 12:22 pmWow, the WH is getting desperate if they have to resort to fat jokes. In past administrations, such a remark would be unthinkable.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:22 pmThis misadministration needs lessons in the constitution, governance, and manners. Contempt of Congress, contempt of our military and their sacrifice, ignorance of world affairs, denial of scientific facts, and now, personal insults directed at an activist movie writer/director…they continue to stoop lower and lower.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:22 pmAd Hominem attack – must be getting close to the truth…
July 28th, 2007 at 12:25 pmThe people that have taken over our government are a bunch of spoiled, adolescent frat ass—-s. They fight anyway and anyhow……..they look for a vulnerability and attack from a position of ignorance and arrogance. They are vulgar and unworthy role models for this country and how to live one’s life. They are: shallow, greedy, irrational, frightened, and mean.
Let’s take our country back. We might even have a shot at restoring common decency and manners. Who knows!
July 28th, 2007 at 12:25 pmSorry, but Perino’s got a long way to go to beat Novak when it comes to being funny. I’m still laughing at Bob’s “Bush can count on looking better after he’s dead” comment. Funny stuff.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:25 pmHey all the candidates for president should have to stand on a stage together all in bathing suits. After seeing them we would ask for a different group of candidates. Hillary would show us her fat white legs, Romney his huge barrel chest with the beer belly, Giuliani wearing a female swimsuit, McCain an old geezer with snow white chest hair, Obama being exposed as a bit flabby around the waist, etc.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:29 pmSince no one is using this name anymore, does anyone mind if I do?

Not unless if you live up to the spirit of the original user. If you’re going to behave as an opposite, then no, it’s not okay. Our “Zooey” was special, and will be missed.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:30 pmthat was funnie
July 28th, 2007 at 12:31 pmDana is a mega-hot existence. Really, who could feel bothered to hear what she has to say?
You lefties are way out of her league.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:32 pm#17 – It could also clear up the question about whether Brownback actually has a uterus or was just playing to the audience during the debate a while back….

July 28th, 2007 at 12:36 pmNoticed a small error in the post. Dana Perino is a woman, and therefore not a “spokesman.”
July 28th, 2007 at 12:37 pm“White House mocks Michael Moore”

As you should know, Zahava never leaves.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:37 pmHowever, she did abandon my beautiful new name.
Yesterday CNN had a piece on the hottest members of Congress. It was really sad because the alleged hotties are very average looking.

Comment by Zooey — July 28, 2007 @ 12:34 pm
Hi, Zooey. She’s good, just tired after a long week of wrestling with the new computer system at work. It’s rumored the software engineers own stock in the paper mills and companies, because the damn system will generate a four-page report where the old one did it with one.
Were Jane and I the only ones who stayed sober last night?
And if Perinno wants to talk about visuals we don’t need, how about Dick Cheney getting a tan? That can’t be something we’d want the kids to see, now can it?

Comment by Yikes
She transmogrified into Zehava, and left behind my beautiful new name.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:43 pmIf Moore was slender, then GOPers would make fun of his glasses, or some other dumb thing. Bush is bull-legged, but I usually never make fun of that visual.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:44 pmI don’t remember any other US administration ever behaving like such arrogant, cocky, snide, sarcastic pricks before.
What has this country become?
July 28th, 2007 at 12:45 pmBush has a shriveled neck of an old turtle, but I hardly mention it.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:45 pmCT Scan – sounds like you could use one. Maybe if you take Nihilistic with you you’ll get a group rate. It would be interesting to see what they would (or wouldn’t) find….

What’s your response to this development, lefties?
Good work, N&F!
July 28th, 2007 at 12:48 pmAnd I don’t mention (very often) how much Bush resembles a chimp, or provide a link to http://www.bushorchimp.com, or mention that there’s a link to it on my blog, either. They’re just so classless. ;)
July 28th, 2007 at 12:48 pmAnd Dana Perino is a “human airhead visual” we certainly do not need either!
July 28th, 2007 at 12:48 pmMore visuals we don’t need:
- People being blown up in Iraq.
- New Orleans’ still unrecovered 9th ward.
- Alberto Gonzales lying his ass off.
- The arctic shelf melting away.
- George Bush’s colonoscopy video.
Isn’t nice that Bush can get comprehensive preventive health care, but millions of Americans who should be having such tests can’t afford it. And then his spokesperson makes fun of the guy who’s trying to correct that.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:48 pmOh great, Mr. Pee is here………………..
I’m outta here, Mr. Pee is just to smart for a dumb Leftist like myself!
July 28th, 2007 at 12:49 pmOoops, I accidentally gave a bad link to that site I almost never mention. You know, http://www.bushorchimp.com. Yeah, than one.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:49 pmI guess that’s all the Chimp’s Palace can do at this point – mock their detractors thereby making themselves the bigger fool?? This administration will soon be laughed off the air when they appear – I’d expect the hysterical laughter to begin when Dumbya comes back after getting his tan during the month of August. ewwwwwww…imagine that chimp with a tan? Talk about disgusting visuals??

Now you’re talking to the real Zooey. :)
Sober? Last night? What….?
July 28th, 2007 at 12:50 pmWayne A. Schneider would kick your cowardly ass. Calling someone else a punk is projecting, when you do it. The person now posting as Zooey has been punked so many times, that when he farts, it sounds like a breeze blowing through the trees.

Hi veritas,
I’ve been around. I was Zehava — trying to reduce the troll shit around the name “Zooey.” It worked fairly well, with Mr P’s help — he didn’t expose me like he could have.
Good morning!
July 28th, 2007 at 12:55 pmNow you’re talking to the real Zooey. :)
Comment by Zooey
Sorry Babe, I’m Zooey.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:55 pmYou’re Zehava, remember?
Geez…
Either the fake Mr. President is being intentionally dense, or he’s an idiot!!!
July 28th, 2007 at 12:55 pmI can see that PiPPy was certainly sincere in his condemnation of namejacking — as long as it’s him being namejacked. Otherwise, clearly, all bets are off with TP’s most useless troll.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:56 pmZooey: I thought it was you but didn’t want to out you. You’ve got such a great sense of humor and developed use of sarcasm that I knew it had to be you! So, in moniker only, you were gone. I love both names, frankly.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:56 pmI see there is another Zooey this morning.

Sorry, I reclaimed the name last night during our glorious hijacking. :)
July 28th, 2007 at 12:58 pmZooey – Never fear, we always know when it’s you. The name jacking trolls simply are not intelligent enough and totally lack a sense of humor. We’re not fooled for a minute.
July 28th, 2007 at 12:58 pmAh yes, the politics of personal destruction. Right out of the Karl Rove playbook, like outing Valerie Plame and smearing her husband for the crimes of serving their country (as opposed to party) These people are heartless.
Here’s something I found about a recent Bush ‘compassionate conservative’ remark
Yesterday, Bush held a quick news conference after accepting the Walter Reed Commission report, and ABC newsie Bob Woodruff was in the press gallery. In prepared remarks, Bush recognized Woodruff’s personal journey back from near-fatal injuries that he suffered in Iraq:
I also want to recognize Bob Woodruff here. He is a — he himself was wounded, severely wounded, and went through the system, to a certain extent. And we welcome you back, and we’re glad you’re with us. And we would hope that any wounded soldier, any person in uniform would receive the kind of care and the ability to return to work, just like you have done. And so we’re glad you’re with us, Bob. Congratulations on the will to recover…
You’re thinking, hey, Bush isn’t so bad. But then:
When Woodruff asked Bush whether the government was moving fast enough to help families, the president declined to answer.
But the Reichwing media (CNN) originally reported it this way. But, someone who was there from NPR reported what Bush actually said:
“Just because I recognized you, Bob, doesn’t mean I’m going to answer your questions here.”
That to a man who had half his head blown off in Iraq. That is why we do not have a liberal media bias. CNN phrased it so it appeared a simple refusal to answer questions; not the cruel retort he actually gave. The whole tone of the insult is lost in the CNN ‘translation’ of the facts!
Again, they have no human decency. And show it every day.

No, Dana, the visual we don’t need is nearly 4000 dead soldiers coming back home in their coffins.
The president you worship made sure we don’t mourn the loss of those soldiers by actually seeing what your president did to them.
Words can’t convey how much contempt 70% of The People have for you and your neo-con asswipes.

July 28th, 2007 at 1:01 pmSuch a lack of maturity. They act like they are still in high school.
July 28th, 2007 at 1:02 pmAs for my name jacking, I guess it was also obviously not me from the sheer brevity of the posts :) (I do write special interest stories for some local news rags). When you see an totally anti-dem comment (other than my typical chagrin when they seem to be dragging their feet on things), then you also know it’s not me. Just like most “unaffiliated voters” (Thanks, Wayne for that) we are often Democratic in principle and at heart.

July 28th, 2007 at 1:03 pmAs for Dana Perino: The lyrics of “too sexy” come to mind because at least in her hyperactive imagination, she clearly views herself to be way too sexy for her clothes, too sexy for her…..
Her articulation of talking points is far from sexy; it’s downright caustic and overwhelmingly b-o-r-i-n-g! It’s a shame to witness a woman who is making a buffoon of herself but believes that she’s coming off as sexy. She’s an embarrassment.

Her articulation of talking points is far from sexy; it’s downright caustic and overwhelmingly b-o-r-i-n-g! It’s a shame to witness a woman who is making a buffoon of herself but believes that she’s coming off as sexy. She’s an embarrassment.

Comment by Tobey Tall — July 28, 2007 @ 1:07 pm
Hi, Tobey. How are things out in your neck of the woods?
The people who will find fault with Michael Moore are the people whose wallets are threatened by his sincere desire to see to it that healthcare in America is no longer a “for profit industry”. People who believe in enriching yourself to the max off the sickness of your fellow human beings are, almost by definition, inhuman. They truly have no moral ground to stand on. So they lay personal ad hominem
July 28th, 2007 at 1:14 pmNow my head is spinning with all the trolls trolling trolls.
FARTTT….
July 28th, 2007 at 1:15 pmMichael Moore is my favorite rejoinder to the wingnuts who say (repeatedly): “You just hate Ann Coulter because she’s so effective!”
“Ah,” I say. “Now I know why you hate Michael Moore so much.”

Which suggests to me that they have some definition of the word “effective” of which I was previously unaware. I have NEVER seen Ann Coulter actually win an argument, or convince a debate opponent that she has a valid point. Ever. Not once.
Unless, of course, “winning the argument” was never her intention, just obfuscation. In which case they hate Micahel Moore because he refuses to “debate” by their rules, and actually does convince people he’s right.
Now that we’ve mentioned her, I guess it’s time for “michael” to show up, disguised as a male poster.

If she’s on live TV and doesn’t have a laptop in front of her, I’ll finally be convinced that “michael” isn’t really Ann Coulter herself. Otherwise, the jury is still out.

“You just hate Ann Coulter because she’s so effective!â€
I don’t hate Ann Coulter (Arthur Coltrane), its not worth the effort. She, however, does nothing more than level personal attacks at people (Fagggot remark) and groups (Godless liberals) and she has also been found to be a plagiarist. She could be a lefty a righty a centrist or an atheist and I wouldn’t find her AD Hominem material and style worthy of reading. Making personal insults, with her intelligence, isn’t very intelligent. Its stuff we did in high school.
Grow up Ann and maybe I’ll read your stuff. So far its just self-serving, self enriching baseless diatribes and internet copying and pasting. Oreilly is another agent of unintelligent baseless bombthrowing BS sprinkled with elementary personal attacks.
I have no use for such controversy creating piss poor prattle by left, center or right wing polity pundits or trollips.
July 28th, 2007 at 1:34 pmMM is a lying sack of turds, no subpoena has been served or even issued! Never happened! Moore played Leno for a fool and he was just looking for more pub. What else is he exaggerating about?

Comment by beefeeter — July 28, 2007 @ 1:28 pm
From the link you provided:
But the source, who declined to be identified, said Moore had not actually been served with the request. Rather, the office of his attorney, David Boies, was contacted by a division of the U.S. Department of Commerce seeking the name of a person who would accept a subpoena on Moore’s behalf.
I’ll concede that Moore probably mispoke about the technical difference. But tell me, please, if there was no subpoena even “issued”, then why would his lawyer get a call asking where it could be served?

Wayne (Comment 140) I suppose the answer to that would be that the Bush administration is so overwhelmingly intimidated by Moore that they tried to set him up to look foolish with the phone call ostensibly to serve a subpoena??

Comment by Wayne A. Schneider — July 28, 2007 @ 1:37 pm
It’s not unusual that an attorney would accept a subpoena for a client, but you’re right, obviously the subpoena had to be issued before the attorney ever made the call.
BTW, issuing subpoenas is no big deal. I used to issue hundreds of them a day as a court clerk.

July 28th, 2007 at 2:28 pmRe: Post #131 –
Glad you raised this topic. Let’s have a look at the rest of the numbers, from the same World Health Organization website, which, if memory serves correctly, ranked the United States #37 and Cuba #39…
United States —
Life expectancy at birth m/f (years): 75/80
Healthy life expectancy at birth m/f (years, 2002): 67/71
Probability of dying under five (per 1 000 live births): 8
Probability of dying between 15 and 60 years m/f (per 1 000 population): 137/81
Total expenditure on health per capita (Intl $, 2004): 6,096
Total expenditure on health as % of GDP (2004): 15.4
Cuba —
Life expectancy at birth m/f (years): 75/79
Healthy life expectancy at birth m/f (years, 2002): 67/70
Probability of dying under five (per 1 000 live births): 7
Probability of dying between 15 and 60 years m/f (per 1 000 population): 128/83
Total expenditure on health per capita (Intl $, 2004): 229
Total expenditure on health as % of GDP (2004): 6.3
Hmmm….It looks like the numbers are actually quite close, although Cuba apparently provides health care for all, at the same time spending $229 per capita. By contrast, the United States has something like 47 million without health insurance (which doesn’t include the underinsured), or about 15.5% of the population, at the same time spending $6,096 per person. In addition, the United States spends 15.4% of its gross domestic product on healthcare while Cuba spends 6.3% of their gross domestic product to provide coverage for everyone.
So, we spend $6096 compared with $229 in Cuba, with fairly similar results (in fact, Cuba has better numbers than the U.S. on some measures). So, what are we getting with the extra $5867 per person, in addition to providing such honorable CEOs at Bill McGuire of United Healthcare with compensation in 2005 of $128 million in salary and stock options worth $1.7 billion? Could you think of something better to do with $5867 for every person in your household than to provide people like McGuire with perks that would put Carnegie and Rockefeller to shame?
So the obvious question — Which country is getting the best bang for the buck — the United States or Cuba?
July 28th, 2007 at 2:32 pmMoore isn’t against for-profit health care, he is against for-profit health care at the expense of Americans’ health. If the insurance system worked the way they purport it to work, the federal government would only have to worry about 15-20% of Americans who can’t afford health insurance. But it doesn’t work.
If you are rich, you will benefit from the magnificent medical model in America. If you are poor, you will get sick, stay sick, and die much earlier than you would if America had universal health coverage.
Moore has again exposed a powerful, greedy character behind an American institution. It hurts our people, and he is doing us a service by bringing the discussion to our table. We must insure that discussion continues, and that a change comes soon.

Not bad for a country under economic sanctions.
July 28th, 2007 at 2:34 pmThe article clearly states that no subpena has been issued, but if a request is made, who is authorized to accept it

With all due respect, I believe that you may has misread the article.
This what I quoted from it:
The subpoena in question has apparently been issued, and a request was made to determine where it should be served. Since I’m sure he has no intentions of evading it and skipping out, he as, for all practical purposes, “been served.” It’s just a tehnicality at this point.
July 28th, 2007 at 2:35 pmSorry. I’m with Anton on this one.
“El Gran Pendejo†it should be.

Oh, he was saying the Mexicans should be more severe in their name calling? I agree with that!!
My apologies G Anton. :}

This is that black or white thinking. If the subpoena isn’t in Michael Moore’s hands on the Jay Leno show, then he’s avoiding service. Nevermind about the common practice of attorneys accepting service for their clients. Sheesh…
July 28th, 2007 at 2:41 pmEck, wake up, little buddy. Pee’s on his way over to pick you up.
You’re walking a little funny this morning.
That noise? Don’t worry, it’s just Lee’s dryer.
Watch out! Don’t trip over the Hoover there, little buddy.

July 28th, 2007 at 2:52 pmHow is it that the United States has devised the best system for delivering health care in the world and apparently possesses superior knowledge in this area that is absent in every other industrialized country on the face of the earth?
If what we are doing is so wonderful, why hasn’t even one country “seen the light” and scrapped their system for one resembling ours?
If anyone knows of an industrialized country that has taken this step, please identify that country by name.
July 28th, 2007 at 2:53 pmAnd that’s a good thing.

July 28th, 2007 at 3:34 pmIn case anyone is still reading comments, today’s article in the Dallas Morning News is worth a close look and is entitled, “U.S. patients choosing Mexican hospitals for price, quality.”

Is the fence being built on the U.S./Mexican border to prevent U.S. citizens from accessing health care and lower cost pharmaceuticals in Mexico?
July 28th, 2007 at 3:44 pmI would prefer 1000 times to be Michael Moore than be one of those assholes on the “mission accomplished” side.
July 28th, 2007 at 4:16 pmMichael can take it; the WH cannot.
July 28th, 2007 at 5:39 pmHahahahaha! Zing! Classic!
July 28th, 2007 at 5:45 pmAnd Dana Perino is a “human airhead visual†we certainly do not need either!
Actually Dana Perino is a beautiful woman.
July 28th, 2007 at 5:47 pmWhich suggests to me that they have some definition of the word “effective†of which I was previously unaware. I have NEVER seen Ann Coulter actually win an argument, or convince a debate opponent that she has a valid point. Ever. Not once.
Unless, of course, “winning the argument†was never her intention, just obfuscation. In which case they hate Micahel Moore because he refuses to “debate†by their rules, and actually does convince people he’s right.
How effective was Fahrenheit 911, good sir?
July 28th, 2007 at 5:49 pmNote to m12 re: Post #227 –
In answer to your question, “How effective was Fahrenheit 911, good sir?”, the following information can be found on the relevant wikipedia website:
“The film debuted at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival in the documentary film category and was awarded the Palme d’Or (Golden Palm), the festival’s highest award, by an international jury (four North Americans, four Europeans, and one Asian)…It was the first documentary to win that award since Jacques Cousteau and Louis Malle’s The Silent World in 1956.”
“The film won additional awards after its release, such as the People’s Choice Award for Favorite Motion Picture, an unprecedented honor for a documentary.”
“The film also won four Razzies, not for its lack of quality but rather as a “joke” about the “actors”. George W. Bush won Worst Actor, Bush with either Rice or “his pet goat” won Worst Screen Couple, Donald Rumsfeld won Worst Supporting Actor, and Rice and Britney Spears were both nominated for Worst Supporting Actress, with Spears winning the award.[9]”
In addition, Fahrenheit 9/11 also won the following awards for best documentary in 2004:
Broadcast Film Critics Association — Win
Director’s Guild of America — Nominated
L.A. Film Critics Association – Runner-up
National Board of Review (Freedom of Expression Award) — Win
New York Film Critics Circle – Win
San Francisco Film Critics Circle – Win
“It presents a critical look at George W. Bush, his presidency and the War on Terrorism. The documentary has another theme of criticizing the American corporate media for being “cheerleaders” for the war in Iraq, and not providing an accurate and objective analysis of what led to the Iraq invasion and the resulting casualties there.”
“As of January 2005, the film had grossed nearly US$120 million in U.S. box office, and over US$220 million worldwide,[1] an unprecedented amount for a political documentary; Sony reported first-day DVD sales of two million copies, again a new record for the genre. [2][citation needed]”
Such an achievement is even more remarkable given that Disney had declined to distribute the film, and then the film was assigned an “R” rating by the Motion Picture Association. Again, to quote from wikipedia, “Moore’s lawyer, former Governor of New York Mario Cuomo, was not allowed to attend the hearing. The appeal was denied on June 22, 2004, and Gov. Cuomo contended that it was because he had been banned from the hearing.”
So, m12, I have two questions:
1) Which portions of Fahrenheit 9/11 do you contend are inaccurate, and what definitive evidence (with sources) can you cite to substantiate such claims?
2) Please identify the competing documentary that you produced, along with any verifiable measures of that film’s success. Most certainly, the Faux Noose crew would be among your most ardent cheerleaders.
Looking forward to hearing your replies…

Interesting, North Texas based hospitals providing care in Mexico giving U.S. quality care. ;)
“Two North Texas-based hospital chains, Christus Health of Irving and International Hospital Corp. of Dallas, are tapping into a need and an opportunity by providing in their hospitals in Mexico what their executives say are the best of both worlds – U.S.-quality health care and relatively low Mexican prices.”

Micheal Moore makes his living and has become a multi-miilionaire by mocking The United States.
Somehow I think Micheal Moore is big enough to take it.
July 29th, 2007 at 10:15 amDana Perino shows Republicans as they really are. Small minded and vicious. The true Republican face. As if 65% of Americans haven’t figured that out already…
July 29th, 2007 at 6:42 pmDana Perino. Professionalism not only not required, but possibly a liability in this capacity.
July 30th, 2007 at 12:15 amWhite House spokesman Dana Perino responded to Moore’s tan comment by mocking his appearance: “That’s probably a visual we don’t need.â€
