MSNBC’s Chris
Matthews: “Russ Feingold wants to censure the President,
the Vice President, other administration officials for the
way in which they talked us into in Iraq. What do you make
of it? Where do you stand on that kind of thing?” Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore: “Good idea. I
think, it’s something though that, actually they should be
lucky just to get censured. Personally, I’d like to see a
perp walk coming out of the West Wing of the White House.” Matthews: “Do you think they’re guilty of war
crimes?” Moore: “Absolutely.” — MSNBC’s Hardball, July 23, 2007.
