Michael Moore's new documentary "Sicko" opens today

Jack....

If we clog 10 million people into the Mall, demanding the tectonic shift we need, it can get done.

The way the Brit described it in the movie, where the poor have been demoralized from the voting booths in America, is so right on.

We would have to achieve something that makes Live-Aid or the Million Man March look trivial by comparison.

 

Guilty as charged.

You got anything, you know, to actually offer, though?

 

Was that supposed to be an insult?

Oh, OK.

Sniffsniffsniff.... you hoit my feewings

 

Finally saw it.

He's right.

I especially enjoyed -- though I know it will offend some -- how he tied for-profit health care to the overall culture of debt our leaders have encouraged for decades, now.

 

Saw it at the theater on the Fourth (as I did three years with F911). It rocked. The only problem is, Mrs. Terrier wants to pack up and move to France, and I tried to explain that Bush's boy just won the election and it might not be such a proletarian paradise when he gets done.
But if the system doesn't change much...Eva Longoria didn't just get married this weekend. She guaranteed her future kids' well-being from cradle to grave, even if she and Tony don't make it.

 

Funny that one of the 9/11 people Moore helps in the film is named.....

MM went ballistic on Wolf Blitzer and CNN tonight:

Here's the piece that helped set him off:

I haven't seen the movie yet, but now I want to. Nothing better than Moore calling Wolf out on air for the mainstream media being shitty about calling out the government over the war in Iraq and VP Cheney. Good stuff.
I will give Wolf credit for attempting to continue with the interview, but he seemed to be shitting his pants at multiple points when Moore kept calling him out.

 

Wow. I'd say that Moore rant may deserve its own thread, its really about CNN's bullshit much more than Sicko or health care.

 

Agreed.
He called Wolf to the carpet.

 

Meanwhile, Joe Scarborough and his little chihuahua are yapping that Sicko is totally illegitimate because Moore is fat.

He and Blitzer and dozens others certain DO owe on-air apologies to the U.S. public.

And they also shouldn't rip Moore for being fat if they never rip the president for being a dunce.

 

Good stuff. REALLY good.
