Ok, maybe this is just funny, rather than "very funny" but it does have some great lines. One of my favorites:

Moore had, I suggested, become "a preachy bore . . . whose work has become so sanctimoniously unamusing it could make Cesar Chavez pull for management."

"CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, journalists are human too"

That has been disproven on many occasions.

Moore is a Ira Einhorn wannabe without the chick-appeal

CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, journalists are human too.

Strange: my belief always was that, to the contrary, journalists are all too human.

Michael Moore was interviewed at some point during the beltway sniper scare. I caught a bit of it. He infuriated me. As I said in an unrelated post at another site:

(excerpt)

"I'll try to take this one at a time.

I apologize if I shall be a little rude or curt. My patience is all used up. Not from this discussion, but from the media saturation of fat comfortable "reasonable" fuckwits calling for more gun control legislation. Their leaps of flawed reasoning and "common sense" but contrary-to-fact nonsense has made it difficult to tolerate less important examples of the same kind of logical errors."

I apologize for the foul language. At the time, it seemed appropriate. That people like Moore are taken seriously by many is as strong an indictment of the decline of Reason in America as any of which I am cognizant.

One of Labash's funniest. If only Russert had been 1/8 as hardhitting in his kiss up interview 2 weeks ago.

Too hilarious. Bump save for alter.

I called him a "Ritz-Carlton revolutionary" and a "high-cholesterol Cassandra" who dressed like "an unemployed lumberjack." After displaying initial comic genius with his General Motors-bashing "Roger & Me"--his critically acclaimed, if factually-compromised first film--Moore had, I suggested, become "a preachy bore . . . whose work has become so sanctimoniously unamusing it could make Cesar Chavez pull for management." Then I quit playing Mr. Nice Guy.

Now this is some funny sh#$, great article

I know this post is late- but Moore has got to be one of the most disgusting and evil personalities ever to appear on the American political stage. I am a "right wing" guy and don't agree with his politics at all. But there are lines people don't cross- whatever their politics. Moore sees no lines. Nothing matters to this man but himself. I don't think even Moore believes a word he says and that makes him more than merely evil. It makes him Diabolical.

I saw a documentary on Joseph Mengele once. One of his forced assisstants said that unlike all of the other Nazi officers at Auschwitz - Mengele said he didn't believe in Hitler's race theories at all and was contemptuos of them. But since they were in power he would serve them. That makes Mengele even more evil in my eyes. Moore stikes me the same way. He couldn't be as stupid as this film makes him out to be.
