> [@CarnalK](#): > > Don’t be an idiot. Clearly MM changing his complete look before an appearance on the most popular late night talk show was done to make some kind of a point. Perhaps what we should be pitting is everyone for humoring him. Leno was annoying the poo out of me, right after the monologue, announcing who’d be on. “Hey Kev, I saw Michael Moore backstage, and you just will _not beleive_ him when you see him.” “Huh, I didn’t see him back there, Jay, I’ll look forwa-” “_Maybe you did, Kev_, maybe you did and you just didn’t know it! It’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen!” ---

I’ll agree with you completely there **Troy**. I never took his slob-style image as any big friggin’ statement so I’m not shocked out of my boots by this little display. I don’t watch the entertainment news- is this really getting a lot of play since the show? ---

Bridges must be charging more to be able to pony up that dough. ---

I always thought Moore looked like he’d be hit in the face with a porcupine. ---

Well you people are not doing a very good job, since this place is filled with ignorance, not to mention way too many left leaning posters, which does not accurately reflect reality. Maybe I should stick around, because it is quite arrogant to assume that one is fighting ignorance, while being totally ignorant themselves. Nice job. :wally ---
