Who did Michael Moore endorse in 2000? Alan Keyes

[TheCommentator]

This from wikipedia:

In 2000, Michael Moore's The Awful Truth television show took a portable mosh pit across the country and challenged presidential candidates to dive in. The premise was that the show would endorse any Presidential hopeful crazy enough to do it. At one debate the mosh pit was called "the defining moment of the 2000 election."

At a town hall event being staged by Ronald Reagan's former ambassador to the United Nations Social and Economic Council, Alan Keyes, aides went outside to see what all the commotion was about. When informed that Keyes could get the endorsement of "The Awful Truth with Michael Moore," Keyes' national field director dove into the pit, hoping that would suffice for the endorsement. He then brought out "Uncle Sam," a Keyes supporter who also jumped in.

Alan Keyes, after being convinced for several minutes by his daughter to dive in also, did exactly that. He dove backwards into the screaming crowd of youths to the sound of Rage Against the Machine and surfed the crowd. After a couple of body slams with a spiked-hair youth from Ames high school, he left the pit with the official endorsement of the show.

Michael Moore said of the incident: "We knew Alan Keyes was insane. We just didn't know how insane until that moment."

The show endorsed Alan Keyes; Michael Moore endorsed Ralph Nader (and semi-endorsed Al Gore in the final days of the campaign).

That's pretty funny.

Even though politically he may be the most opposite from me of any person out there, I do find him amusing and to an extent like him, although I do think he has A) a HUGE ego, and B) severe problems on how to run a campaign.

That's pretty funny, indeed.

However, I'm not sure what would strike me as weirder if you told me of it: Michael Moore endorsing Alan Keyes or Alan Keyes in a moshpit.

Crazies of all stripes are hilarious
