Who could possibly be unhappy about the liberation of Baghdad except for Saddam Hussein and associates? Why -- who else but Professional Fat, Loud, Obnoxious Person (and Future Toilet Seat Cover for Satan) Michael Moore:
It appears that the Bush administration will have succeeded in colonizing Iraq sometime in the next few days. This is a blunder of such magnitude -- and we will pay for it for years to come. It was not worth the life of one single American kid in uniform, let alone the thousands of Iraqis who have died, and my condolences and prayers go out to all of them.
Hear that, Iraqis? It wasn't worth it. Quit all that cheering and dancing.
God, and the fake, teevee-evangelist-type sincerity he uses to express himself: "Can I share with you...?" "I tell you all of this..." "And that, my friends..." "...millions of Americans who think the same way we do." Gag me with a gravy boat. He's the Oral Roberts of the Left. But all is not woe in Mooreville: a kabillion people have requested the Columbine video -- or anyway, more people than have ordered Chicago -- he's gotten funding for more propaganda films documentaries, and best of all, his web hit counts have gone through the stratosphere! And only 75% of them are from porn-site bots! (Okay, I made that last one up.)
As Jeff Jarvis says, it's all about "Michael Moore, greed machine." On second thought, "Satan's Toilet Seat" is too distinguished a future position to give the enlarded one.

Posted by: Jack at April 9, 2003 at 03:21 PMI think Michael Moore is really just a deeply committed conservative who has created this obnoxious, laughable persona with which to tar the deep Left as the cabal of small-minded navel-gazers they really are.
The alternative is that he is Beelzebub in human form, but I had kind of pinned that one on Peter Arnett. Of course you never see them both in the same place...
Posted by: Ernie at April 9, 2003 at 04:32 PMFor the moment, I do not think the Iraqis care who is getting rid of the Hussein dictatorship. And I am sure that since it will take most of a year to put together a government, the protestors will continue on.
But I think the Iraqis will also remember the nations that wanted to keep Saddam in power at any cost.
And some of those nations will also take heed. Already the Israeli press is talking about a meeting with Jordan officials at which opening an oil pipeline to Haifa, closed for the last fifty years, was discussed this week.
Perhaps Moore's next expose can be of himself. Not that I'd want to see it (shudder), just read about it.

That is a fantastic description of him, the best one I've read yet. Perfect. Fits him to a T. He preaches to the choir just like 'Oral', and from what I've seen on various messageboards, his 'flock' doesn't even care that Columbine is filled to the rim with inaccuracies.
Goo one. Right on the money.
Posted by: Kevin Parrott at April 9, 2003 at 11:50 PMWe cannot blame Michael Moore for his views. That would be like blaming tobacco companies for selling cigarettes that kill people. Oh wait. Sorry wrong angle. Michael Moore is a moron but has not come to realize it yet. It is sad to see but there is hope. Death is a know cure for stupidity.
