MIRAMAX hires DNC's Fabiani/Lehane, others, to market FARENHEIT 911...
Edited on Thu May-20-04 04:53 AM by wyldwolf
Howard Wolfson, ex-campaign press secretary for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Michael Feldman, a top adviser on Al Gore's 2000 presidential race. (Feldman founded the Glover Park Group, a D.C. communications outfit, with ex-Clinton spokesman Joe Lockhart), and former Clinton White House advisers Mark Fabiani and Chris Lehane are have been hired to counter any Republican attacks on the Michael Moore and Farenheit 911.


Sorry if a duplicate. Didn't see it anywhere

1. That has to be a good sign.

The only thing I wonder though is the movie going to be cut up in any form just to satisfy the censorers? I hope not. This could be the most important movie of our day.

I cannot wait to view it.

2. Hannity said they had been "dispatched" by the Clintons to help Moore

4. "Dispatched?"
Right. I can just see the Big Dog sitting behind a microphone saying:

"Unit 28, Unit 53: See the promoter at 1128 N 3rd St about a Code 14 in progress."

"10-4"

9. Right that is what I was thinking when I heard it
Dead on htuttle.

Hey but what does one word mean anyway? :eyes:

The "Hannitized" probably think that Bill and Hillary are in some sort of Batcave orchestrating things from behind the scenes....when in fact Bill is getting cheap drugs for AIDS in Africa and Hillary is doing her job at the Senate. The wonders will never cease.

3. Too bad we got such dickish people to do it.
Even while I was part of the Clark campaign I always disliked those 2.

5. Thanks, Lehane Is Like The Mozart Of Dirt Finding
He's apparently a genius at digging up dirt... but you just don't want him around in polite society.

6. I guess we can look forward to media stories
that tell us how much all the other movies suck. That seems to be the only thing Lehane is good at.

The content of the film will be officially labelled partisan and therefore unobjective. Thanks assholes.

And what if it is? Michael Moore has never claimed to be "objective".

He puts his money where his mouth is--& ends up earning more money. It's the American way.
