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.

Blah, blah, blah.
Sorry, I couldn’t finish the video. This guy is such a putz. It’s pathetic that anyone even puts a camera and a microphone in front of him.

I think the yelping of the name at the end of the interview is what they are referring to.
This MSM created monster is now turning on them, if they dare to question.
Wolf has to grovel and eat dirt and thank Michael. It's a beautiful thing to see.

Its time some folks started talking about left-wing racism. These creeps calling for Iraqi withdrawal dont care if a million more Iraqi kids get killed, either. That should come as no surprise.
They've been practically rooting for the deaths of their own countrymen for 4 years!
When Mikey's plaque-riddled heart bursts, as it inevitably will, he'll be very lucky if he's anywhere near us in Rochester, NY, USA.
Strong Memorial is one of the top heart centers in the world.

People are missing the real gem buried in this video clip - first he starts out by saying that he doesn’t speak in soundbites, and then towards the end he emphasizes that he will only do ‘live’ interviews rather than taped ones, and he mercilessly rakes Blitzer over the coals because Moore claims he is afraid that his remarks will be edited and taken out of context to distort his meaning. What a total putz. After all, who in the world is the master of deceit, lies and fraud who has made his millions by intentionally taking other peoples’ words out of context to distort their meaning and thereby to propagate his lie-du-jour? Of course, it’s the despicable Michael Moore who has made a career out of pumping out exactly such knowingly-and-carefully-crafted distortions and lies. Like most leftist media whores, he can dish it out but he sure can’t take it...

I listened to Moore's whole tedious tirade, but I didn't hear anything that I'd call "mocking" of a name. Same here. I watched it all the way to the end. He didn't misprounounce the name. He emphasized it back to Blitzer because Blitzer kept using the name over and over and over.
Moore is an idiot. But he wasn't mocking Dr. Gupta.

What a testament to the decline of the public education system in America. A misanthrope like Moore can make films which can find an audience, and puff pastry like Wolfey Blitzer can have his own television show.

He clearly was. Then we watched two different interviews. If he was mocking anyone, it was Blitzer.

Does he think networks and anchors are elected officials?
Well, you gotta admit most of them think they are.

Then we watched two different interviews. If he was mocking anyone, it was Blitzer. Everyone seems to agree that he was doing ~something~ in the way that he pronounced Gupta's name.
To me, it sounded obviously like mimmickry of the Indian way of speaking, somewhat stacatto with equal emphasis on each syllable.
So maybe you are right...he was mocking Blitzer's PC-informed effort to be authentic in the pronunciation rather than Gupta, himself.
Small difference...it was mockery playing on the pronunciation of the name.
It would ignite a firestorm if a conservative had done it.
