Reply #13: What she said...

was that most Democrats think that he is a jerk, insinuating that his support for Kerry would sink his chances to be elected.

BUT, Couric was nasty to Moore. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he is what Mike had to say about his 2005 interview with Couric (bold emphasis mine).

Are you sitting there just as the triannual feeding frenzy is about to start thinking, ''Why didn't I make a nice fun movie like Canadian Bacon again?''

You know, I don't relish all the noise that surrounds me and my work. I'm still stunned when I read these comments: ''Oh, he must like the hype!'' The last time I was on TV was the Today show in January of 2005, when Katie Couric said to me, ''I'd rather rearrange my sock drawer than talk to you.'' And off camera she's so friendly! Telling me inside stuff like how < the White House > called the big shots at NBC to complain about an interview she did. She's telling me...how she actually got a memo, and this is in the early days of the war, saying tone it down! And I said to her during the commercial, ''Why don't you tell this on the air?'' And she says, ''Aww, I'd lose my job.'' ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You can't lose your job. You have your job. It's called the KATIE COURIC JOB! You can write an op-ed and let the public know how this kind of manipulation takes place. And she says, ''I have to really watch it.'' And then the red light comes on and she's on the attack. And that's when I said, ''I don't need this.'' < A spokesperson for Couric responds, ''Katie has done many hard-hitting interviews over the years. Her responsibilities as a journalist require that her questioning reflects several different viewpoints. I'm glad Katie left such an impression on Michael.'' >
