American satirist Michael Moore has stormed out of Britain after a bust up with the London theatre hosting his one-man show. The Bowling For Columbine moviemaker performed Michael Moore - Live! to packed audiences for two months before Christmas at The Roundhouse in Camden, North London. But on the penultimate night he reportedly flew into a rage, verbally attacked everyone associated with the theatre because he thought he wasn't being paid enough. During the performance he complained he was making just $750 a night. A member of the stage crew says, "He completely lost the plot. He stormed around all day screaming at everyone, even the £5-an-hour bar staff, telling them how we were all conmen and useless. Then he went on stage and did it in public." Staff retaliated by refusing to work the following night, which led to the show being held up for an hour. Eventually he made a groveling apology to staff and the angry audience finally took to their seats. A source reports that Moore then packed his bags and flew to New York the next day without saying thank you or goodbye to anyone.

Hadn't he heard about British taxes? For all the pining he does for government control over everything, you'd think he would have.

Stuff like that only applies to the rabble, don't you know?

I never knew a pantload could "storm".
I'm frightened.

LOL! A waddling storm.
To: Paul Atreides
Gee, it's a big surprise that an "independent" "grassroots" poster-boy liberal would act like this.
To: hellinahandcart
Garrison Keillor has the same anger manangement problem, similar girth and wacky politics as well.
To: hellinahandcart
I'm sure it wasn't pretty.

If someone would just thrown a couple dozen donuts at him, things might've been better.
Isn't this the jackass that told O'Reilly that he should be taxed at eighty percent?

He stormed around all day screaming at everyone, even the £5-an-hour bar staff, telling them how we were all conmen and useless. The REAL Michael Moore.

I wish he would stop by Julianne Malveaux's house sometime and let her cook him breakfast.

Michael Moore is truly THE ugly American.

I've heard before.....I'm sure it was in
The Weekly Standard -- that he is the WORST person to work for and cannot keep people with them because he's such a butt.
Demands limos, big rooms, lots of food. You know, the kind of things he rails against......LOL.

Eventually, sh*t does out itself, doesn't it?

Satirist? Jonathan Swift was a satirist, Michael Moore is no Jonathan Swift.

A fatirist?

I think that Babs and Mikey have some sort of competition going.
To: LibWhacker
They say that no man is an island. Not true in Michael's case.

What would that look like, I wonder?
On second thought, maybe it's better not to know.

Who has that animated gif of Hillary wiggling her butt at the swimming pool? I bet that is what it looks like.
