By their own words condemned

Please forgive me if you've just eaten: "This hurricane [Gustav] is proof that there is a god in heaven." There you have it, straight from Michael Moore's mouth. He wishes for Gustav to hit New Orleans because it'll interrupt the Republican National Convention.

And as a Tulane Law alum who will always have New Orleans in my heart, may I please be the first (in this comment box, certainly not in the world) to wish Michael Moore a hearty Fuck Off and Die.

Looking at this unkempt man talking about what women want is so nonsensical. I wish with all my heart that the polls show that women voted more than fifty percent for this McCain/Palin ticket in November. I wish it for this country's sake, but I wish it to give this jerk some comeuppance.

One can be sure that Michael Moore will be protected by the press. Just working on something else and found this (apparently the "liberal" press only for women cuando le da la gana:

Parker, Elliott 2004 (accessed 8-30-08) Correspondent Sarah McClendon Championed Citizens Right to Know. Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication in Toronto, Canada, August 2004. AEJMC Conference Papers Sat, 20 Nov 2004 06:20:41 -0500 http://list.msu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0411c&L=aejmc&P=16328 “n January 24, 1962, she raised the issue with Kennedy. She began by stating, "Mr. President, two well-known security risks have recently been put on a task force in the State Department to help reorganize the Office of Security." Kennedy interrupted her and asked, "Well, now, who?" She continued, "William Arthur Wieland, a well-known man who for over a year the State—." He interrupted a second time and demanded, "And who—now I think, Mrs. McClendon, I think that—would you give me the other name?" She replied, "Yes, sir—J. Clayton Miller." He then reprimanded her by saying, "I would say that the term you've used to describe them is a very strong term which I would think you should be prepared to substantiate."[100] McClendon broke two unspoken rules—she named names and embarrassed the President. A barrage of coverage followed. She made the front page of newspapers from coast to coast.[101] The New York papers gave the incident the most play with seven articles in the Herald Tribune and five in the Times. Under the banner headline, "President's Angriest Moment," the Herald Tribune's chief Washington correspondent said Kennedy responded to the accusation "in low tones with icicles clinging to them."[102] The article also mentioned the specter of libel, which had prompted NBC to delete the exchange from its broadcast.[103] A page-two sidebar provided brief biographies of McClendon and the two men. It said she was a "49-year-old widow" who had previously incurred "official wrath" from Eisenhower.[104] The Times called the incident "an extraordinary episode for a news conference" and described how Kennedy repeatedly pointed his finger at her in disapproval. In reviewing her charge, the article reported the Senate Internal Security Committee had "made public accusations against Mr. Wieland."[105] several weeks. Senators came forward and discussed their roles in Wieland's investigation.[106] Early reports indicated the State Department was considering legal action.[107] Later information revealed it was unlikely McClendon would incur any legal difficulties.[108] When Kennedy resumed calling on McClendon a few weeks later, both papers marked the event.[109] Robert G. Spivack, the Herald Tribune's Washington correspondent, wrote an editorial about "The McClendon Affair."[110] He labeled his colleague "a competent reporter who sometimes assumes the role of Mrs. District Attorney" but questioned her judgment in this case. He also blamed Kennedy for asking her to reveal names.[111] A Washington Post and Times Herald editorial was less sympathetic toward McClendon. It criticized her sharply for impugning the two officials' loyalty without "a scrap of supporting evidence."[112] It staunchly defended the President for minimizing the damage with a "spirited response" and suggested he be forewarned of any such accusations in the future.[113] The Houston Post ran a joke on its editorial page, showing how familiar the incident had become. Fletcher Knebel's "Potomac Fever" column made this reference, "Q—When is it proper to call some one a 'security risk'? A—When a 25-year-old girl marries a 60-year-old man, it's proper to refer to him as her security risk."[114] The newsmagazines also offered their take on the matter. Time sprinkled sexist phrases into its report. The article in its "The Press" column described McClendon as a "stocky, blonde woman reporter" and a "news hen." When she rises at presidential news conferences, "an almost audible shutter (sic) runs through the room," the piece concluded.[115] Newsweek also noted her hair color—although it said red, but its piece focused on why Kennedy was familiar with J. Clayton Miller, "an obscure official who had never figured into the news."[116] It implied her question was justified. McClendon suffered as a result of this publicity. After the press conference ended, reporters peppered her with questions for days. They urged her to reveal her sources, but she refused. After the press attention waned, the public continued to criticize her for making Kennedy look bad. In fact, she received "truckloads of mail."[117] The experience made her feel lonely. "You come home at night. You don't have a husband to cry on his shoulder. You feel very much alone in the world, but you think you're right, so you feel a little peculiar, but you suffer through it."[118] She always stood by the truth of her claim and pointed to Wieland's eventual assignment to a non-secure position as evidence.[119] Vice President Johnson told her later that Kennedy took a poll about the impact of her question. The results revealed, he continued, "'Sarah, your name is now a household word.'"[120]�

He prays for folks to be harmed by a storm to help his political party? I have to wonder what god it is.

For what it is worth, Hurricane Gustav hitting New Orleans might just be a case of "be careful what you wish for." Moore and Olberman forget that there is a "New Sheriff" in Louisiana - his name is Bobby Jindal - and - he has a record of getting stuff DONE. -S-

Is it any surprise this is coming from MSNBC? Give me a break. Someone should take the "nice, big cake" and shove it down Moore's throat or at least stick his face in it. He's disgusting, vile and as a woman, I am repulsed just by looking at him. He's just a major jerk with an agenda. And yes, Mr. Moore, there is a God - we don't need proof of that and when us Republicans beat your donkey ass in November, we will be shouting and singing praises to Him!

It's very hard to fathom how, especially by now, anyone with any self-respect can condone this asshole, who's downright repulsive both physically and as a person. We're definitely not talking JFK or Robert Redford here. The guy's a fucking PIG, and he also has the personality of a major jerk. It's obvious he's desperate for attention (ANY attention) and a sense of importance, probably because he's being eaten up inside by self-loathing and insecurity. What a disgusting jackass!

There's a nice searing niche in hell for this abject specimen.

I have to ask, was he fasting that day in deference to impending disater, or was he stuffing his face as usual. Would he have postponed his planned birthday celebration? Give us a break.

I couldn't stomach this whole video. He makes me want to punch through the monitor. Fuck that lard ass shit spewing dickhead. Sorry for the language.

When some commie jerk at Rolling Stone(d) did a review of SICKO they wrote that Moore was trying help the health care crisis by dieting. Well, the diet apparently didn't work cause he's still a fat ass!
And OMG these two ugly mens attempts at "humour"! Geeze, I've heard better ad libs on the PTL Club!
But it just goes to show you. Liberals don't care about other people. They just want to bash Bush and take power. The hell with the common man! Less deaths of Amercian soldiers in Iraq? DAMN! Then we got nothing to bash Bush with! Gee, I hope lots die in the Hurricane! So we can blame Bush and McCain cause the don't believe in the Rapture...I mean Global Warming!
I acutually worked with a News Director who when seeing a Eagle Eye Camera pan over a town destroyed by a tornado said, and I quote, "This is awesome! Great!" And yes, he was a big John Kerry supporter. And a buddist to boot.
