BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) -- CNN's Tom Foreman was working on a taped segment about "Fahrenheit 9/11" filmmaker Michael Moore when the door to the news trailer opened and someone said, "He's here."

Foreman grabbed a cameraman

Foreman: Who did you vote for?

Moore: Wesley Clark. I always vote for whoever the CNN consultant is on the ballot.

Foreman: An excellent move.

Moore: (Laughs)

Foreman: But you haven't endorsed John Kerry, either.

Moore: No, I have not. I'm not going to endorse anyone in the general election. I don't think that's my job. The thing with Wesley Clark was really a personal thing, because of the Oscar speech, no one on TV was willing to say anything nice about me except Wesley Clark.

He was the only one who said anything nice about me, and he said it on your network, that the reason why people join the armed services is to defend the right of someone like Michael Moore to say what he wants to say. And he was proud to be able do that, and he did that on your network.

1. Don't you just love Michael Moore?

As a Wes Clark supporter from way back, Moore is pretty high on my list. He's loyal.

2. Just the other day

someone posted Michael Moore's last voter registration:\

as a DEMOCRAT!

3. And he defended Moore's right to call * a deserter

at that horrid Fox hit-job debate in NH. Which led to all sorts of unwanted scrutiny of *.

Brings back memories.

4. It was soooo good when we had all those hopes for a Wes Clark

administration and so very sad when they were dashed. Just your mentioning it brings back such anguish. But now I look forward to a great 8 years with a Kerry/Edwards team and a brighter future for America.

5. At Least He's Not Backing Nader Again - Fool Me Once, Uh...

Don't fool with me!

6. Mr. Moore is an honorable man

I still feel that it weakened Gen. Clark's candidacy to stand by Mr. Moore's AWOL statements, but it spoke volumes about what a good, loyal man he was. Nice to see Mr. Moore return the favor.
