MARK STEYN: The importance of being Michael Moore

The Daily Telegraph ^ | June 29, 2004 | Mark Steyn

[MadIvan]

Brilliant.

Regards, Ivan

[MadIvan]

Ping!

[Desdemona]

Using the faux pas of idiots in the ariports to produce a hit piece on the president is despicable.

I just can't like Michael Moore. Don't ask me why.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

Not many people I feel a twinge of envy for, but I wish i could write as well and as often as this guy.

[GVnana]

Michael Moore ping!

[alloysteel]

Michael Moore, American Hatriot.

Your wonder how that much ego can be contained within his own skin.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

I just can't like Michael Moore. Don't ask me why.

Because he's a loathsome human pinata making a fortune fleecing the gullible by trashing the country that allows such a mediocrity to prosper?

Anyhow, that's why I despise him.

[baseballmom]

Moore follows his GUT, and it takes a few seconds for the rest of him to catch up.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

Your wonder how that much ego can be contained within his own skin.

Well ... maybe not ... there's a whole lotta skin there ...! ;)

[Petronski]

Your wonder how that much ego can be contained within his own skin.

Uh, because he has acres of his own skin?

[NovemberCharlie]

Thanks to MadIvan for an unexcerpted Mark Steyn!

[Desdemona]

Because he's a loathsome human pinata making a fortune fleecing the gullible by trashing the country that allows such a mediocrity to prosper?

I was thinking more in terms of him being a hypcritical fat slob, but sure.

[Shermy]

But by now Moore's moved on to pointing out that Bush's Afghan stooge Hamid Karzai used to work for the Texas energy company panting for that big Afghan gas pipeline.

I believe this to be true:

The Unocal plan was defunct long before 9/11, and Karzai never worked for them - the latter a myth started by Le Monde.

[alloysteel]

Uh, because he has acres of his own skin?

Now I know that the skin on human beings is highly elastic, and can stretch LOTS, but there is still a finite limit before it blows out like an overextended cheap balloon.

[chiller]

Moore has stated that American's are stupid. That is precisely to whom he's marketing this movie.

[Bob]

Here's the way it works: if Bush is wearing the blue boxer shorts, they're a suspicious personal gift from Crown Prince Abdullah. If Bush is wearing the red boxer shorts, it's a conspiracy to distract public attention from the blue ones he was given by Crown Prince Abdullah. If he's wearing no boxer shorts, it's because he's so dumb he can't find his underwear in the morning.

And if W were to walk on water, Moore would claim that he's too dumb to have learned how to swim.

[malakhi]

Stick him in a headdress and he looks like King Fahd's brother.

Anyone interested in a little project?

[EggsAckley]

Heheheh. oleaginous

One of my favorite words.

[Desdemona]

That's who Michael Moore makes films for: those sophisticates who know that, no matter how many people bin Laden kills, in the assholian stakes he'll always come a distant second to Bush.

I know entirely too many of these sorts. According to them Bush has done too much "damage".

[Rennes Templar]

Has anyone seen a mainstream review that agrees with the movie and that everything is Bush's fault and that the US is run by an oil oligarchy bent on taking over the world?
