"[General Wesley Clark] participated in the debate with the Democrats. He was the new star. And he had to answer the question 'Why is he suddenly a Democrat?' He said he did not fit in with the Republicans because he is pro-choice, pro-affirmative action, and once when he was young and impressionable, he fought in a war." —Bill Maher

JoeScarboroughkilledhisintern.com A Post Seen on Democratic Underground Forum
Yesterday, "Democracy Now" broadcast a Michael Moore talk at a
San Francisco college last Monday (Oct 20). He started talking about how Joe
Scarborough had a show called "Michael Moore Hates America." Moore, of course,
was outraged. So he began researching Joe Scarborough on the web and, of course,
soon found the story of Lori Klausitis (sp?), Joe Scarborough's young female
employee, who was found dead on the floor of his office during Scarborough's
last few weeks in Congress. DUers will know this story, of course, but Moore at
least pretended to have only recently learned of it.
In any case, Moore went on a rant about how Scarborough's show wasn't entitled
"Does Michael Moore Hate America?" as a debatable question but rather "Michael
Moore Hates America" as an irrefutable truth. Therefore, after Moore discovered
the dead intern story, he bought the domain name
JoeScarboroughKilledHisIntern.com and that it should be on-line within a
couple weeks. (I just checked and got an "under development" page but I also
checked it under domain registries and the domain name is not available.)
It sounded as though Michael was trying to bait Scarborough into the same kind
of legal hysteria O'Reilly indulged in against Al Franken. In any case, I think
this is a GREAT development & we need to get this website spread around when it
appears so that Scarborough won't be able to ignore it.

"The more I research this national move to e-voting with touchscreen machines, the more frightened I become about the possible .. nay.. the inevitable abuses of the technology by mostly the GOP. This is a Party that has shown it's utter disregard to honor and integrity over the last 11 years and its willingness to win power at all costs...."
