Grossly Obese Millionaire Decries Capitalism

Michael Moore, who has made a career out of mooning his own country, is bringing out yet another of his crockumentaries. This one is called Capitalism is Evil (the Blog Prof has the lowdown).

We are supposed to believe, somehow, that this self-indulgent, waddling man-mountain of starches and animal fat has thrived in a capitalist environment without falling prey to the evil inherent therein. I was about to say that this is just typical liberal hypocrisy, but now I'm wondering if "hypocrisy" is the right word, anymore. It used to be the tribute that vice paid to virtue; now the ostensibly duplicitous attitude of people like Moore seems to be, rather, a very open and arrogant declaration that there is one set of rules for leftist ideologues, and another set of rules for everybody else, and the dividing line is nothing more complicated than the boundary between those who wield power and influence and those who don't. This is an extremely anti-democratic attitude, and dovetails perfectly with the transformation of American liberalism into a repository for increasingly totalitarian ideas.

Michael The Moor is a fat, untalented hack of a slob, who rose to fame because he fastened himself to the belly of the leftie cause years ago, much like parasite fish do to whales. He peaked in "Fahrenheit 9/11", which is to say, quite low, and has fallen since then. If one can "fall" from zero elevation, that is.

Since then, he was ejected from his comfortable perch amongst the intelligenstia and elite by his progg superiors for the crime of being unoriginal and unentertaining. This latest movie is the cinematic equivalent of a drowning man yelling for help....and everyone is too busy slathering on suntan lotion and building sand castles to bother helping the schlep who ignored the "DEEP WATER BEYOND HERE" signs, even though he can't swim.

With a little luck, Moore will sink into the murky depths of Hollywood, unable to creatively sustain himself, there to become fish food for the entertainment industry, and finally contribute something positive to this world.

Recycling Michael Moore...I like it!

In a just world Mikie would have been pulled down, squealing, and devoured by slavering wolves (like What's-His-name intended for fat herd beasts) years ago.

Maybe the Italian Commies will kidnap his fat ass. They got released, didn't they?

No, he peaked with "Roger and Me", where he apparently was unable to interview Roger Smith.

Cheers

WV: "hubile"- missed by six, dang!

Mike's personal fitness trainer: Slow down, Mike, you'll give yourself a coronary.
Mike: "gotta", "keep", fighting", "the", "pooer".
Mike's personal fitness trainer: Don't you mean, "power", "fighting the power?".
Mike: "Yeah, whatever ... where's my cheeseburger?".

Moore is reduced to pandering to the only audience he knows will have him.

The pathetic part is, he thinks he's paving the way for Obama's Brave New World: once we're driven into poverty, we'll be easy pickings for "Transformed America" propaganda. Fat slug has misunderestimated us again.

This one is going to be posted at YouTube so we can all sit around and watch it for free and save our money for beer, right?
