Michael Moore, on the immediate reaction at the Oscars to his 2003 acceptance speech:
March 23, 2003:
He said that, far from being appalled, many people in the audience stood up to applaud him and that he put ‘’America in a good light.’’
March 24, 2003:
Asked what he thought of the catcalls, he said, “Don’t report that there was a split decision in the hall because five loud people booed.”
April 7, 2003:
Halfway through my remarks, some in the audience started to cheer. That immediately set off a group of people in the balcony who started to boo. Then those supporting my remarks started to shout down the booers.
Okay, so as late as April 7th of last year, Moore’s story was that many more of those in attendance at the event supported him than booed him.
That contradicts his brand-new memory of the event.
July 9, 2004:
EW Let’s go back a year. Tell me about the reaction right after you gave your infamous Oscar speech when ‘’Bowling for Columbine’’ won, when you were booed for calling Bush a ‘’fictitious President.’’
MOORE From the second I walked off the stage, I felt alone. People backed away from me as I walked through the wings. The only two things that were said to me were the things that every Oscar winner hears when you first walk off the stage. There are two interns standing in the wings in evening gowns and one goes, Champagne? And the other one goes, Breath mint?
His new description of the event contradicts the ones he gave before.
This is from someone who often accuses others of lying.
Update 7-5-04: For a comprehensive list of all the baloney in Moore’s pseudo-documentary, see Fifty-nine Deceits in Fahrenheit 911.
