MARK STEYN: The importance of being Michael Moore

The Daily Telegraph ^ | June 29, 2004 | Mark Steyn

[Revolting cat!]

What's harder to figure out is the point of being a devoted follower of Michael Moore. Apparently, the sophisticated, cynical intellectual class is so naïve it'll fall for any old hooey peddled by a preening opportunist burlesque act.

And that is a depressing (moi) thought!

I just can't like Michael Moore. Don't ask me why.

Yep its kinda like peas I just cant like that:)

Regarding Michael Moore, American Hatriot

I knew his eyes were too close together!

Actually, if an objective measure is made, the distance between the eyes is very nearly within the expected limits for human beings. However, the perspective is all wrong, because the sides of the head spread so far, that the eyes only seem to be too close together. In fact, the entire face is almost too small for the head on which it is placed.

The head, however, is fairly well proportioned to the body.

Is it possible for a brain to be obese? Or is all the oleaginous matter entirely subcutaneous?

Geez, even Steyn doesn't get it. It is not that these people hate Bush. It is that they hate themselves for allowing themselves to be lied to by Willie and for lying for Willie. These folks willing participated in Willie's filth and corruption and now realize what they've done. They can't raise themselves or Willie from the sewer so the only thing left is to try to bring someone down to them in the sewer. That someone is Bush.

Willie's book restated the old lies. These folks have nothing new and are trsfering their own self-loathing to Bush.

Ivan,

Thanks for posting this. Your presence was badly missed. I know that I've told you this in the past, but thanks again for coming back!

Moore is the Anita Broadrick of Geroge Bush.

Are you suggesting that MM is a fathead?

I thought he just like small size baseball caps!

[redbaiter]

Are you nuts? These folk realize nothing! They just watched the US destroy two despotisms and liberate 38,000,000 people, and it made no impression on them whatsoever. Moore's followers are nothing more than those for whom the psychic cost of accepting Moore's lies and fallacies is less than the cost of giving up their own self-appointed place as arbiters of moral purity and - maybe the Germans have a word for this - race-guidance. They would sooner accept Moore as God than give up the US as Devil.

I believe in UFOs. Clearly, there are occasionally unidentified flying objects. Not all flying objects are capable of ready identification.

Isn't it odd that even the RAT media is admitting that this movie is a pack of lies, while they boost it at every opportunity?

[lainde]

bump and thanks!

[lainde]

Best review I've read. His brilliance remains unsurpassed!

I'd love to see these critics put on the hot seat, and asked which kooky conspiracy theories they agree with.

[Watery Tart]

Thanks, MadIvan.

And a large, heartfelt thanks to Mr. Steyn for once again doing the dirty work for us by viewing this film. After he read and reviewed the Clinton family Lies series...well, most would have given up.

LOL! My first thought!

[Stentor]

What is it about Moore that reminds me of Dame Edna without proper grooming and sense of humor.
