It's the moment we've all been waiting for- Michael Moore's final pre-election message, which proves that he's even dumber- and more of a liability to "progressive" causes- then I thought. First he completely contradicts his own candidate on the election's most important issue:
"President Kerry had better bring the troops home right away. My prediction: Kerry’s roots are anti-war. He has seen the horrors of war and because of that he will avoid war unless it is absolutely necessary. Ask most vets. But don’t ask someone whose only horror was when he arrived too late for a kegger in Alabama."But that's not as objectionable as when he puts himself forward as inspiration to Osama Bin Laden:
"There he was, OBL, all tan and rested and on videotape (hey, did you get the feeling that he had a bootleg of my movie? Are there DVD players in those caves in Afghanistan?)"Yea, I was thinking the same thing. Nice to see that a friggin' mass murderer is so concerned about the Patriot Act- and that Moore (who's supposed to be a peacenik) is so proud to have inspired him.
Some refuse to vote for Kerry because they feel it will vindicate people like Moore and give them more influence. I feel the opposite way- a Kerry presidency would do more to marginalize Fat Fat Fatty than anything else imaginable. Remember the Clinton years, when Moore's time was mostly taken up with non-bestselling books and a couple of TV shows that got canceled almost instantly?
