Lookism: How Very Hurtful
Cokie Roberts blames Michael Moore for Kerry's loss:
Former 'This Week' host and National Public Radio veteran Cokie Roberts blamed conspiracy filmmaker Michael Moore on Sunday for causing Sen. John Kerry to lose the presidential election.Is Cokie guilty of "lookism" implying that Michael Moore doesn't look like a suitably representative politically correct leftist?
'I think Michael Moore actually had a very major impact - a negative impact - on the Democratic Party,' Roberts told NBC's 'Chris Matthews Show.'
'I think he exemplified all of the things that people hate about Democrats. And the fact that he was - it was a hate-America-first campaign and that hurts the Democrats every time.'
"Adding insult to injury, Roberts also contended that Moore's "physical appearance did not help."
