I'm excerpting as the source story cites re-use limitations.

I don't know about you, but I get a mental image of two punk, high schoolers getting into a bit of a row and one suddenly really beats the other on the arm, then the other threatens to hit back, and realizes he'd get his proverbial butt kicked.

I don't wish harm to anyone, including a major jerk like Moore, but it would be fitting considering his physical condition that if his inevitable chest grab came when he was in some socialist health care Paradise.

How much you want to bet that if he has an option he jets back to the US ASAP to get his chest cracked?

No, no, two Billion people have been to see it, that's one in three people on the planet.

I know this to be true because Al Gore said so...

Not only that. THe liberal elitists are on the outs with Moore. They all backed Moore with F911 which was supposed to stop Bush from being re-elected. They showered him with awards. Non stop positive press about the film.

Bush got re-elected and Moore disappeared for years. Now he comes out with some weak ass attack on the american healthcare system. The honeymoon between Moore and the liberals of this country is officially over.

Why would Moore pick a fight with CNN? CNN would do anything and everything to promote a leftist. He must have pissed off someone personally.

Shame Rosie doesn’t like men. Her and Moore would make a perfect couple.

Donuts would have to be put in protective custody.
