Michael Moore Unveils New Look

Anybody else think Michael Moore looks just like Peter on 'The Family Guy'?

Quote:
snip ~On Monday night, filmmaker Michael Moore made his first appearance on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" since the 2004 presidential election.

As is often the case with Moore, he surprised the audience. But in this case, the surprise was the result of his new look. Moore appeared on stage wearing a suit and tie, no beard or hat and a trim haircut.

When asked by Jay Leno about his appearance, Moore quipped, "I thought I should look a little sharper for my IRS audit" and "If you can't beat them, you might as well look like them."

You'd think that with that much money he could afford a decent suit.

At least he's smart enough not to waste money on one, though.

I'm not getting your point.

An expensive suit is a waste of money, unless you have some reason for it.

a) You love expensive suits (not likely for Moore)
b) You think you can impress people and get them to trust you because of your clothing (not necessary for Moore)

Ah, so he spent the money on a suit so that he would look like an even bigger idiot.

Gotcha...

I'm no expert on suit ensembles, but to me his professional look is thrown off a bit by the length of his shirt sleeves. His left shirt cuff is threatening to swallow his hand whole and the right one looks like it has the same idea.

Yeah well, I hear he buys his suits at FatManClothing.com in the 'fat & ugly' section.

Nah. Moore doesn't have a set of testicles on his chin. (At least not in public, and if he does on his own time that's none of my business.)

He has more chins than the Chinese phone book. Or should that be Moore chins?

LOL!!!! Good one.

Now he resembles the conservative that they want him (and the rest of the country) to be...

While we conservatives are pleased and flattered, MM still looks like the dork at the prom wearing his brother's hand-me-down. You can't hide what's inside
