"MICHAEL Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man." That's the title of an upcoming tome from ReganBooks by Jason Clarke and David T. Hardy, the creators of two Web sites devoted to exposing the filmmaker's hypocrisy, moorelies.com and mooreexposed.com. "Moore shows the greatest disdain for that which he actually is . . . a very rich, pasty white American male," the authors say. Watching Moore spinning statistics in "Bowling for Columbine" and "Dude, Where's My Country?" spurred the authors to ask, "Dude, where's your integrity." The book, due in July, will expose his use of camera tricks, manipulated facts and spliced speeches.

"Moore Lies?" I'm just shocked! I can't believe it! I'm flabbergasted! Shouldn't this categorized "Breaking News"? :-)

I work with an ultra-leftie type these days. A nice gal as a person, but a far-leftie. The subject of Moore's film came up yesterday while we were in a mtg. and I opined that Disney, what with Eisner holding on by his fingernails, has every right to not distribute any movie that will offend it's core audience, and I called the film "conspiracy junk." She fumed. It was so funny. Her face contorted for 5 minutes because she could not answer me in the setting we were in. It was pretty funny, and the other person in the mtg. ageed with me.
