(2004-01-24) — In an effort to halt his slide in the polls, Democrat presidential candidate Wesley Clark today attempted to distance himself from remarks that Oscar-winning documentarist Michael Moore made last week while introducing Mr. Clark at a campaign appearance.
During the recent Democrat debate, Mr. Clark defended Mr. Moore’s right to call the Commander-in-Chief a “deserter.”

Like most people, there’s nothing Michael likes better than dessert. I can assure you he meant no insult to the president. Michael is a patriot. He’s as American as apple pie.”
