Michael Moore Uses Andrew Breitbart Against Wife in Divorce Case
Frontpage Mag ^ | 06/07/2014 | Daniel Greenfield

All is fair in love and war even when you’re an anti-war activist. And Michael Moore is using a Breitbart article about his $2 million vacation home to claim his wife was making him look bad.

With his divorce trial looming, Michael Moore is battling his wife over the valuation of the couple’s assets, while branding her a spendthrift who “unilaterally wasted a large percentage of the marital funds” building a lakefront mansion that has prompted mocking news stories about the activist filmmaker’s wealth.

Moore and Glynn jointly own “multiple substantial residences and multiple companies,” including Dog Eat Dog Films, the production company behind hit movies like “Roger & Me” and “Bowling for Columbine.” The couple’s real estate holdings include a total of nine properties in Michigan and New York. The duo co-owns a Manhattan condo that was created through the combination of three separate units.

But it is the northern Michigan mansion that appears to be the couple’s most contentious asset, and bad press about the home has apparently rankled Moore.

Included among the nearly 300 items on Moore’s trial exhibit list are six stories published in 2011 about the Torch Lake compound. Each of the articles described the luxury residence, while some of the reports noted that the Occupy Wall Street supporter was living like a member of the “1%.” One story described the residence as “Moore’s $2M hypocrite house,” while another article’s headline declared that the director’s “Massive Michigan Vacation Mansion Beyond 99 Percent’s Wildest Dreams.”

So according to Moore, owning nine properties in New York, including a triple Condo, was the problem because conservative sites such as Breitbart and the National Post began making fun of him.

Breitbart, seizing on Moore’s embrace of Occupy Wall Street and his denial that he’s among the richest 1 percent of Americans, has posted five photos of Moore’s lavish vacation home on Lake Torch in Michigan.

“No one begrudges Moore his wealth, but it is deceitful for him to claim poverty while encouraging class warfare among other Americans,” Breitbart wrote beneath one of the photos. “It is also purely narcissistic and selfish for Moore to back radical and destructive socialist policies that would deny other Americans the opportunity to become as rich as he is.”

I’ve seen the apartment listed at $1.27 million back in 1999. That means it could top $2 million today. But I’m sure that’s his wife’s fault too. And his wife, no doubt, made him buy Haliburton stock and then lie about it.

Or maybe it was George Bush. But it’s never Moore’s fault.

Kind of like Joe E. Brown to Jack Lemmon in ‘Some Like it Hot’

If Moore had any compassion at all, he’d turn that house into a refuge for young illegals-without-parents steaming across our borders.

Kind of resembles one of those trans assignment things.

HOWEVER,

If she(?) were to get EVERYTHING from MM and leave him penniless, and had a foot on a banana peel, how many in this venue would find her (UGH!!) attractive OR at the very least, Bearable????

The problem was the vacation home was out where the public could see it.

Unlike his gonads that he hasn’t seen in 30 years

Is it too much to hope that he ends up penniless after this?

Couldn’t happen to a nicer slob. Hope she takes him to the cleaners although she’s obviously no prize herself.

“I’ve seen the apartment listed at $1.27 million back in 1999. That means it could top $2 million today. “

It’s probably more like $3 million,if not more,assuming it’s in the same condition.

What’s funny and ironic is that Michael Moore is quite the capitalist - and he knows it. He knows that there is a market of people willing to pay to watch that kind of nonsense and he makes money off that market...and those “anti-capitalists” are freely participating in this capitalist scheme, with Moore laughing all the way to the bank.
