Michael Moore endorses Obama, chides Clinton
39 minutes ago
Michael Moore wants voters in Pennsylvania to cast their ballots for Barack Obama.
Moore endorsed Obama in a 1,100-word posting on his Web site Monday. It includes praise for the Illinois senator and harsh words for Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democratic Party and the Bush administration.
Lamenting the lack of a valid primary in his home state of Michigan, Moore writes that Obama's experience and voting record aren't as important as his "basic decency" and ability to inspire.
"What we are witnessing is not just a candidate but a profound, massive public movement for change," Moore writes. "My endorsement is more for Obama The Movement than it is for Obama the candidate."
The 54-year-old Oscar-winning filmmaker was hardly as kind to Clinton.
"Over the past two months, the actions and words of Hillary Clinton have gone from being merely disappointing to downright disgusting," he writes, saying that she has tried to "smear" Obama "Like you were nuts. Like you were a bigot stoking the fires of stupidity."
Most of Moore's ire is directed at the Bush administration "and the permanent, irreversible damage it has done to our people and to this world."
"I, like the majority of Americans, have been pummeled senseless for eight long years," he writes. "That's why I will join millions of citizens and stagger into the voting booth come November, like a boxer in the 12th round, all bloodied and bruised with one eye swollen shut, looking for the only thing that matters that big 'D' on the ballot."

Michael Moore = typical white trash.
The only thing missing is his trailer, but then where can you find a good double wide these days?
Obama The Movement
Oh, I dunno. I was just thinking that this is the only time I have agreed with Moore.
"Et tu, Jabba?"
“Most of Moore’s ire is directed at the Bush administration “and the permanent, irreversible damage it has done to our people and to this world.”
You mean, like preventing another attack in the USA?
Does this mean he will vote for McCain if Hillary gets the democratic nomination? I think we all know that answer.
Political payback.
Obama offers Moore unlimited double cheeseburgers and large fries in exchange for his endorsement.
Simple, really.
