Michael Moore is Running for Pope

[NAO]

Today I got this message from the potential future 'his holiness':

Friends,

How's it going? Ready for the next step?

Let me know what you've been up to and any ideas you have about what our next move should be (write me at the addresses below).

Meanwhile, I'll be in conclave this week handing out goodie bags and running for pope. Wish me well!

Yours,

Michael Moore

***very few people know that before becoming a political activist film maker, Michael Moore considered the priesthood.***

1. Very funny!

[rzemanfl]

2. I got that e-mail too. He's doing this in an attempt to defy *

who told him he should get a "real" job or an "honest" job, I forget which. Pope is about as far from either as anything I can think of.

[Pepperbelly]

4. Has Bush the Prancing con man ever worked at a real or honest job? nt

[ClintonTyree]

16. He likes to "clear brush"..

that's the hardest work he's ever done and actually the only thing he's qualified for. If it wasn't for his family ties he couldn't get a job as a night counter-man for Dunkin' Donuts.

[FreedomAngel82]

12. It was

"hey Michael, get a real job." Like W knows about that eh? :eyes:

[rzemanfl]

14. Thank you. * doesn't even know what the word "real" means. n/t

3. LOL, I was just about to post this, too.

You beat me to it.

He asked "wassup", so I sent him the link to the DeLay speaking to the NRA convention post from POLITICS forum. Filming opportunity.

5. What's in the goody bags?

I may not be a Cardinal but I am Cuckoo, does that qualify me to vote for the new pope? I could change to a Blue Jay or Robin if that'd help.

11. Underwear, like the ones he used to "buy" votes before.

Those cassocks can chafe you know.

21. Damn, its summer, don't need it

6. What should the next move be???

Well what should the next move be?, perhaps everybody here on DU can get on the same track, I say the next move should be IMPEACHMENT, but that might be too hard, any ideas?

[rzemanfl]

13. I told him to do a movie about how * stole the election. n/t

[bpilgrim]

17. he was supposed to have thousands of cameras at the polls

and folks reporting on the shenanigans... but i haven't heard anything about it since nov 04 :shrug:

peace

[rzemanfl]

18. Well since he is going to be infallible, why worry? n/t

[KG]

7. is he even catholic?

[Momgonepostal]

8. I think so

I think he's mentioned being Catholic in one or another of his books.

[NNguyenMD]

9. yup that he sure is, if you watch "The Big One" he talks about his days

getting in trouble with nuns in Catholic school. And there is a segment in his show "The Awful Truth" when he is barred from going to Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral right across from Rockefeller Center. He got a restraining order from some real estate mogul he sent a statue of shit to. It was actually pretty funny. Anyways I'll be money that he's a practicing devout Catholic.

I think he talks about it in one of his books too, probably Stupid White Men

[RevCheesehead]

19. The really funny thing is, since he is a practicing Catholic male,

he technically COULD be elected as the next Pope.

I'd recommend "Pope Michael IX/I/I"

[zalinda]

10. I think he should do a story on the Moonies n/t

[DemGirl7]

15. For some reason I find it weird

that Michael Moore was considering the priesthood before he became a political activist/flim maker. But I'm not sure why...

[orpupilofnature57]

20. He's persecuted in truths name, he would listen to people, unlike cardinals
