David Kranz, the dean of South Dakota political reporters, has a report today headlined "Timing of votes cast doubt on Moore claim of Daschle hug."
Meanwhile, Sibby has done some great investigatory work regarding the timing of the Senate votes on the night of Michael Moore's DC premiere. It seems that most of the senators reportedly at the premiere were voting around the time they were reportedly giving the movie a standing ovation. Strange.
Finally, Little Green Footballs takes note of The Illusory Hug and comments: "Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle would like us all to know that he absolutely did not, under any circumstances, hug Michael Moore."
Well, he'd like all South Dakotans to know, anyway.
UPDATE: If you haven't seen it already, don't miss the story in yesterday's Washington Times headlined "Daschle cool on plaudits for '9/11.'" Excerpt:
Dick Wadhams, campaign manager for Daschle challenger John Thune, said Mr. Daschle trotted out the case-of-mistaken-identity excuse only after being criticized for his coziness with Mr. Moore from voters in South Dakota, where Mr. Bush received 60 percent of the vote in 2000."As usual, Tom Daschle wants it both ways," he said. "He wants to go to the premiere and lend credence to the movie, but he doesn't want to be judged for it by voters. It's typical Daschle doublespeak."
