Poor Michael Moore.

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.
Give the wife the vacation home and then Michael then it won’t be embarrassing Michael anymore.
The b**ch set me up!
Poor Michael Moore.
The problem was the vacation home was out where the public could see it.
Michael Moore might be the worst current American. He’s certainly the biggest hypocrite, literally and figuratively. Here’s a guy worth anywhere from 50 to 100 million dollars making a film condemning capitalism, the economic system that allows him to live like a king.
That’s funny - I don’t even wish that I could feel sorry for him.
Feeling sorry yet...NOT!!
Let the jokes begin!!
He has a wife?
Whatever would posses a woman to marry that thing?
Here’s hoping for a long and ugly trial.
Power to the Lawyers!
Adam also blamed his wife Eve, and ultimately God for eating the fruit - “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate.”
Don’t forger Honest AlGore. Close comparison to be sure.
Here's a movie about "runaway greed" he should watch: 
Give her everything, the Torch Lake mansion, the NYC tri-condo, the film company, the Haliburton stocks. Then he can be penniless and live @ Zuccotti Park. Nothing to be embarrassed about any longer.
He must be worth enough, for her to ignore everyone looking at her like she is blind and daft.
Hey! She aint no prize.
