"Ah, the sound of angry white guys wafting its way through the airwaves," Moore said. "Obviously that was a pivotal moment for that, but if you notice what he's railing against is he's blaming the whole mortgage crisis on the little guy who took out a mortgage he shouldn't have taken out, living beyond his means, having a home with too many bathrooms, when in fact - as my movie points out - the FBI of all people, have stated clearly through their own investigation that 80 percent of this mortgage crisis that we've gone through has been caused by the banks and lending institutions, by the fraud committed by the banks and the lending institutions - not by the person who's living beyond their means."

Mike resting on the beach.
According to Merriam-Webster, “Classist” is actually a word. “Bigotist” appears to be Mikey’s clever creation. Such dizzying intellect.
I’ve only noticed one difference between Moore and Santelli. Santelli is sane.
I think those are in the same dictionary with “the fictitious of orange alerts,” as Moore said when accepting his lolOscar.
