Filmmaker Michael Moore went off on CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer during an interview Monday to promote his latest documentary 'Sicko'. Moore blasted the anchor and the network for not doing enough to stop the Iraq war and for doing a 'crap' report on his new film. Moore also mocked the pronunciation of chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell? That conjured up images I didn’t want to imagine, and I just had dinner.

Man, he is so full of himself. That’s probably why he’s so fat.

Well, to be honest, the inhabitants of the World’s Shrillest Democracy are almost as much fair game as the French.

Libs are nearly always Demoncrats....who, by the way, are the party of the slaveholders. It’s no coincidence.

but I didn't hear anything that I'd call "mocking" of a name.... Much as I detest Moore, I think somebody's overreacted here.

Agree...this is a non issue.

His skin looks very pasty. He looks a lot like John Belushi in his last few weeks!

When I heard Moore’s new film was called “Sicko”, I thought sure it was an autobiography.—— Charles Payne

What a low-class, rude, one-sided, insecure whiner. I hope the left sees that this guy is jumping the shark, Sheehan style.

How can anyone defend that performance? He was angry past the point of any rationality.

Since when do “sponsors” influence coverage? I was an advertiser, and I can tell you the business is ruled by ratings, almost alone.

CNN’s healthcare coverage is about as left spun as one can imagine. Some of their pieces are drawn directly from obscure leftwing talking points, such as their coverage of Health Savings Accounts, for instance.

Wolf Blitzer needs to grow a pair.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta is one of CNN’s most trusted and popular figures. Mikey jumped the shark.

That was funny! But, not as funny as a multi-millionaire —who, by appearances, does not undertake any physical activity more excessive than lifting a cheeseburger to his mouth — asking that his health care be paid for by everyday working stiffs. Why should I pay for his health care when he obviously doesn’t care about his own health and can easily pay for his own bypass? What a fat ass.

Wolf or Dr. Gupta should take the opportunity to ask Mikey about one of his FReeper nicknames, “Lumpy Riefenstahl.”

I was flipping and saw the weirdo screaming mad at Wolf. It was rather odd to see him ranting against CNN. Moore kept saying read my blog I will have this up after this and you will hear the truth. Moore definately took off on Dr. Gupta which Wolf said later was in surgery today so couldn’t join us tonight.
Moore was screaching throughout until someone told him to calm down, which he did for alittle, probably because he wasn’t making any points about his movie.
Typical screaching leftie at his best.

It’s time some folks started talking about left-wing racism. These creeps calling for Iraqi withdrawal don’t care if a million more Iraqi kids get killed, either.

One thing I give to Moore, whatever he has done has made money. The worst thing for him would be some serious financial loss. He is immune to criticism, in fact he benefits from controversy.

I mean, Moore pronounced Gupta like "Goopta" -- but isn't that pretty close to the way it really should be pronounced?

You need to go back to the video tape.

At the end of the clip Moore very deliberately and with animated facial expression mocks and exaggerates Gupta's name. He was clearly attempting to do a piece of Indian dialect shtick.

There was nothing subtle about this racist slur.

Has anyone seen both Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell in the same place at the same time?
