THE POSSUM COUNTY DAILY FLAPDOODLE
Serving America - One Possum At A Time!

Dateline: March 7, 2001
MICHAEL MOORE GETS SNIPPY


President Gore and supporters pray for the crew of the U.S.S. Cole. (I feel like this a lot any more.)

One of the reasons the Possum County Daily Flapdoodle has become so much less than daily lately is that the Smirk administration's worst blunders are too serious to strike me as funny. It's funny that Katherine Harris got booed by 19,150 people when she went to the track. It's not funny when you realize that's probably the worst thing she's going to suffer for her crimes against Democracy. It's funny that Smirk got caught letting a bunch of big oil yahoos take a submarine for a spin -- it's not funny that they killed nine people doing it. It's also not funny that career naval personel have to take the fall for Smirk's cash cows. (That's what I call taking personal responsibility for your actions, Smirk boy. Way to change the tone in Washington.) It's depressingly ironic rather than funny that the Smirk administration proposed cutting the budget for earthquake preparedness on the very day Seattle suffered a major earthquake. It's scary rather than funny that in less than two months the Smirk administration has managed to piss off every country with nuclear weapons except the United Kingdom. Still, it's early days yet. They've got almost four years left to get Britain to hate our guts too. It's even scarier that Satan Cheney suffered his fifth heart attack this week, yet the corporate media chihuahuas continue to not care that Smirk's babysitter looks like he's gonna beat Strom Thurmond to Arlington national cemetary.


"Hi. I'm not a progressive activist. But I play one on TV."

Fortunately, one of our Possum eyed readers wrote in to the Flapdoodle and shared their experiences with the People's Quisling, Michael Moore. Our gentle reader found herself on Moore's spam list without her consent and she wrote him a rather angry request to be taken off, citing his anti-Gore activities. She also told him she would be boycotting everything he ever was connected with in the future. She forwarded Moore's reply.

Upon reading Spam Master Moore's email, we at the Possum County Daily Flapdoodle editorial board could only gape in amazement and mutter "What a dickweed!"

Judge for yourself. His email is below, in bold. Our response follows.

Dear Mr. Moore:

I am writing to you because the above was forwarded to me by another of the over 50 million Americans who were disenfranchised by the Supreme Court's insane ruling in Bush v. Gore.

This picture has nothing to do with my email to Spam Master Moore. I just miss Al and Tipper. Big time.
I was rather surprised that you responded to an email sent to you by a former viewer -- and sent such an immature, unprofessional reply. Do you believe your career will never reach a point where you need your former viewers back? I have to add that I found it more than a little pathetic that you used the sales of your videos to "prove" you were correct politically. It's nice to know you haven't gone Hollywood or anything. Another reason your reply surprised me is that I also sent you a rather heated email about your anti-Gore activities during the 2000 election, but you never bothered to write me back -- not even a simple little "F*ck you".

Perhaps that's because I took the time to research the anti-Gore propaganda you were spewing at the time and debunked it for you. (You remember that BS about Gore being personally responsible for Scalia when the Senate vote was 98-0 in Scalia’s favor? And then you implied that Gore was some how responsible for Thomas as well, even though Gore voted against Thomas -- and against the elevation of Rehnquist? Remember that nonsense?)

I'd like to point out something else that seems to have escaped your notice, possibly intentionally. You use November 7th as the date for the increase in subscriptions to your email lists, and an increase in the number of hits on your site. Well, I happen to have read all your spam mails prior to November 7th, and November 7th was the first time you bashed Bush instead of Gore. As a matter of fact, I have seen a number of heavily pro-Gore, Democratic lists where well meaning people have posted your post November 7th diatribes, mistakenly believing that you are now and always have been anti-Bush. There's a sucker born every minute, ain't there?

You call us Gore supporters bitter. Why on earth does that surprise you? I repeat: over 50 million of us had our basic civil rights trampled on by Team Bush and the Scalia Five. You had the opportunity prior to the election to say "I support Nader, and I don't like Gore’s politics, but Bush scares me too much. Please vote for Gore, if only to stop Bush". No, it was more important to you to hoodwink sincere but misguided college students into thinking Gore and Bush were clones - - just so that Nader could hook up to that Federal campaign money gravy train. Never mind that your party building strategy could not work -- why on earth are you trying to build from the top down if the Democrats and Republicans were both corrupt beyond repair? Were the Greens also planning a fascist coup? -- all you cared about were those Federal matching bucks.

Yeah, what does a Bush administration really matter to you? Your life is not shit now and never will be again -- you are a white male, making more money than most of the families I know – according to your email, because you jumped on the anti-Bush bandwagon November 7th. With a few prudent investments, you will be just fine under the Bush II Administration. In fact, you will probably make a killing. I, being a woman, won't do so well. Nor will African-Americans, gays, the working poor, etc. etc. etc. (All the groups who have refused to join the Green party in droves.) My company has already started downsizing, based on the phony recession Team Bush is manufacturing so they can get government off the backs of billionares. Team Bush is already working to defund the unions and have the IRS investigate the taxes of every organization that opposes them. Yeah, you were probably smart not to take a stand against Bush. You wouldn't want to be sued within an inch of your life over a matter of principle - - just for the sake of social justice.

You wouldn’t want to stand up against real fascism. That might slow your video sales.

Sincerely,
Janet Hessert
One of over 50 million American citizens who had enough brains to recognize George W. Bush was a fascist menace before he stole the 2000 Presidential election.

"I see a vision. I see the Republican monster lyin' flat on the ground. I see the Democratic party standin' over it with foot on its neck and wearin' the crown of victory. I see Thomas Jefferson lookin' out from a cloud and sayin' 'Give him another sockdologer; finish him.' And I see millions of men wavin' their hats and singin' 'Glory Hallelujah.'" - - George Washington Plunkitt

Calling all Gore in four supporters!

In honor of Real Presidents' Day 2001, you are invited to join Al-Gore-2004.org, the completely and totally unofficial, 100% grassroots, all volunteer effort to re-elect President Al Gore!

We at Al-Gore-2004.org know that the people, not the powerful, are already supporting President Gore in droves. Internet Gore-in-04 sites are springing up faster than Bush administration scandals. The only problem is that there is no central location, no one place for all the Gore supporters to meet and work together - - until now.

When you join Al-Gore-2004.org, you get the satisfaction of standing up and being counted in a culture that refuses to acknowledge the national outrage and disgust over the theft of the Presidency. And as the membership of Al-Gore-2004.org grows, you will also get to use the size of the group to help your elected officials, the media and even the Democratic party understand that restoring Al Gore to the White House is the will of the people.

Join us at Al-Gore-2004.org - - stand up and be counted!
