Michael Moore And Jack Abramoff, United At Last On Lawrence O’Donnell’s MSNBC Set (video)

[sasha031]

Former lobbyist/corporate corruption poster boy who takes his sartorial cues from Spy vs. Spy Jack Abramoff hit the ground running with a new book straight out of prison, and if his foray to MSNBC is any indication, the left is willing to forgive and forget all that criminal stuff that got him in trouble. Take, for instance, filmmaker/limousine liberal poster boy (who doesn’t really have any funny sartorial choices, sorry) Michael Moore, who lauded Abramoff for “coming clean” and declared there was “no more powerful person” to fight corruption than him.

As the two both had interviews on The Last Word, this interaction between the face of corporate corruption and one of the most prominent faces of anti-capitalism in America came face-to-face thanks to the magic of Lawrence O’Donnell, and both parties had nothing but positive things to report. Moore appeared thrilled to see a story of redemption such as Abramoff’s, explaining that the crimes going on behind the scenes are best understood by those committing them, and that someone so deeply involved in creating the problem is now working to fight it by exposing the infection is wonderful news. “He is 100% revealing everything and encouraging the American people to stop people like him,” Moore argued, “that’s a very powerful thing to do.”

it's a touching video, I actually feel compassion for the guy I once hated.

1. Agree, and really appreciated M. Moore's comment.

[glowing]

2. More of them should go to jail and maybe try to see the error in their ways..

Or should just be put there so they never come back, like Cheney and Rumsfeld etc, to do worse another time around.

3. when he starts telling tales on the really powerful creeps whom he served, I'll

think about buying his transformtion

things would have gone much easier on him had he cooperated with the law when he had a chance to make it mean something

I'm thinking he's very concerned with his dotage, and not much else

if you followed his story, he was one of the most disgusting of a very awful group of thugs
