Kvetching for Columbine

Being MICHAEL MOORE is draining.

Mr. Moore, who is known for ambushing his subjects, often bigwig corporate types, with cameras and crews, is tired of picking up the slack for, well, everyone. "I think it's an embarrassment that it's somebody in a ball cap with no college education that's going in to ask these questions," he said. "It's disgraceful. I can't stand to look at myself on the screen cause I look at that and I think, `Boy if that shows there's anything wrong with the American media, it's that the job is left up to this guy.' You know?"

The director of "Bowling for Columbine," a documentary about America's gun culture, continued his rant. "I'm just waiting for the media to start doing their job so I can go back home and watch more sports. This is way too much work for me. I'm a very lethargic person."

But he would be up for some more TV time. Asked if it upset him that the conservative pundit ANN COULTER gets so much television time while he hardly gets any, he said that it was strange, considering how well his book had sold. "I've been on a total of two network shows in nine months," he said. "What is going on with that?"

Has he ever spoken to Ms. Coulter? "No. For some reason, BILL MAHER kept trying to get her on `Politically Incorrect' with me. She would never come on when I was on," he said. So does he think all the attention Ms. Coulter is getting has something to do with her looks? He sighed: "I've got good legs too."

What's with the Ann Coulter questions? Sounds like the NYT is trying to make a story rather than report one.
