America's most obnoxious corporate critic, Michael Moore, is living high on the hog thanks to the perks two corporations have provided him for the West Coast leg of his book tour.
Moore was flown around California aboard a private jet, reports the San Francisco Chronicle, courtesy of media mega-corporation Time Warner.
And while he wasn't enjoying the corporate high life at 30,000 feet, he was tooling around the Golden State in the kind of vehicle anti-corporate environmentalists routinely decry as public enemy No. 1 - an SUV paid for by his publisher's corporation, Warner Books.
Moore's man-of-the-people image was further dented when it was revealed that he gladly accepted the protection of several bodyguards, who helped the left-wing crusader keep the unwashed masses at bay.
Asked if his new chairman-of-the-board lifestyle meant he was being hypocritical, Moore told the Los Angeles Times that the only reason he's feeding at the corporate trough is because it's there.
"I would never pay for this," he insisted.
Ah, okay, so he's only taking advantage of them, using these things because they're offered to him. I used to have a dog like that. He'd eat his dogfood just fine, in fact, he'd eat more if you gave it to him, just keep on eating. Eventually the vet put him on a diet. Got a little too corpulant.
I think Mike should voluntarily forego the use of these gift from "evil corporations" as a gesture of solidarity with "the little guy", whose cause he says he so tirelessly champions. Ride the bus or subway or, if those are unavilable, hop on good old shank's mare. No? Ah, I forgot, Mike's a big-shot Oscar winner now. Can't taint that image with anything so working-class...
Not out of principle.... because he's CHEAP and thinks he's entitled to FREEBIES (its a liberal thing)
Entitlement is the center of liberalism. The lazy thieves are ENTITLED to everything that is yours.
