What an odd coincidence!
I was just discussing fashion with Sean Kinsell, (in comments to an earlier post), then nearly fainted when I saw this:
Not only does Moore have a new look, he’s got new lines to go with his new garb:
Moore appeared on stage 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 them, you might as well look like them.”
Moore told Leno that there was a reason President Bush was re-elected November 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 story. And the [Bush] story was: Out of the ashes of Sept. 11 rose one man. And he stood on the rubble of lower Manhattan with a bullhorn and he said, ‘I will protect you.’ ”
Moore had some advice for Democrats who were unhappy with the results of the 2004 presidential election. “[Bush’s victory] was just a couple of percentage points,” Moore told the “Tonight Show” audience. “People who voted for Kerry shouldn’t be depressed at this point. They should pick themselves up . . . There’s another game in four years. And we’ll come back and do the best we can.”
What the hell is going on here? I mean, I tried a new makeover for Moore before (and Justin said he never looked better; hmmm . . . . ) but I never thought I’d see this.
You’d almost think there was an election or something.
UPDATE (BUT AN EXPLANATION IS NOT AN EXCUSE): I guess one good picture deserves another.
Sigh.

He looks SQUARE in that picture! I thought at first, he was a fat, evil, sadistic, conservative Republican.
And he is right. He seems to grasp that the _style_ of Bush’s campaign was better. Indeed: “Out of the ashes of Sept. 11 rose one man. And he stood on the rubble of lower Manhattan with a bullhorn and he said: ‘I will protect you.’”
That is the style of it. It has almost mythic dimensions, and as a propagandist, he seems to grasp that. He is also not whining or giving up like so many of his co-ideologues are. As Leftists go, I must say that Michael Moore has always had a certain style.
But, he’s still Lord Pork Pork, and I cannot forgive him for dismissing the Iranian freedom fighters the way he did.
Handsome. Well, not really.
Obviously Farenheit 9/11 must have made money. With profits come taxes, and with taxes comes conservatism!
