The over weight pseudo-documentary film maker, and publicity starved Michael Moore has challenged Senator Fred Thompson to a debat, Jim Roberts, National Ledger [1]:
Michael Moore knows publicity. And he’s looking for more of it to promote his new film ‘Sicko.’ The overweight filmmaker has reportedly written a letter to possible GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson challenging him to a debate. Apparently Moore learned zilch from being schooled by John McCain, of all people, in 2004. Moore points out that Thompson allegedly had some Cuban cigars ‘Montecito’s from Havana’ and uses that as the premise to asking for the challenge.In the letter Moore writes: “Our debate would provide you an opportunity to appeal to the right wing of the Republican Party by continuing to attack me.”
Fred has stature, Moore girth. In other words, Fred has nothing to gain and Moore has nothing to lose. When you stoop to debate an idiot, you assume the stature of the idiot.
Blake Dvorak, Real Clear Politics [2], has Fred’s response, w/ video. Note, unlike a previous president, Fred does know how to use a cigar.
