Michael Moore Letter to Those Who Voted for George W. Bush

The rotund weasel speaks again. A prosaic thought, since, in the case of this portly flapjaw, he never stops speaking. Speaking, whining, posturing, using the childish sarcasm that no doubt won him liberal laurels from other playground outcasts, the man is a entertaining example of the best the left has to offer - an intellectually lazy, obnoxious, and above all mediocre filmmaker, who fantasizes himself a "visionary" in his field, not unlike a host of other leftist inane figures each thinking that they are the tip of the sword of enlightenment.

It is so wonderfully easy to throw limp-wristed criticisms at the work of others. An entire career could be made out of the faux pas, the pathetic oneliners, the cheap shots, and beginner cinematography that is Mikey Moore's portfolio. Far harder is coming out with solid, workable, concepts to improve any situation. Did Clinton do so much better at safeguarding homeland security? Most of the planning for 9/11 happened under his watch, when we had Bin Laden right under our noses. Yet blubbery Mikey has the gall to criticize Chertoff's assignment. The pedestrian "artist" should keep his feeble intellect to himself, rent 'Super Size Me' from a local Blockbuster, and you know what, the world would go right on spinning.

Lusatian, now that you've shown us all of the fancy words you know, attempting to ape the style of snooty critics of the arts, what do you think of Michael Moore?

Give it up, LW. You know that Bush can walk on water and heal the sick and the lame. Besides, the hurricane was all Clinton's fault anyway. If it wasn't for that BJ in the Oval Office, Katrina never would have come ashore.

My gosh! In addition to being a true believer, you also are psychic.

Amazing.

And you're certainly demonstrating just how wonderfully easy that is.

If Moore's cinematographic work is so second-rate and amateurish, how is it that he fooled the quite savvy folks at the Cannes Film Festival and garnered a Palme d'Or, the highest honor they can bestow? I hold no particular brief for Mr. Moore, not being a professional in the field, but I find it hard to believe that "Fahrenheit 911" would have been singled out for this signal honor just because the French wish to give Mr. Bush a black eye. You may disagree with the left-wing view presented; that would certainly be a valid criticism. But to denigrate the cinematic skills of Michael Moore makes your judgement suspect.

The International Documentary Association named "Bowling for Columbine" the best documentary of all time in 2002. One can check into each documentary Moore has made on IMDb and find the awards and accolades his documentaries have garnered. Amateur film critics with the distinction of spouting out psuedo-intellectual ravings on this forum will not negate what he has achieved and what he will continue to achieve. Let them present all the awards they have on their mantle. Well, maybe the bowling league trophy? Something?

And what gives you the idea Michael Moore was a playground outcast?

Please provide evidence that Moore has proclaimed himself a visionary. Otherwise, we file this comment under Lightwizard's "raving" category.

Who? Are we supposed to spend our time wondering who the heck you are referring to?

Moore looks okay to me. No evidence of limp wristedness is apparent. Moore could be the average guy who carries a lunch bucket to work.

Lusatian wrote:

Such as? Care to actually back up your "insight" with an ounce of fact?

Lusatian wrote:

Awards, awards, awards all over the place. He didn't get that with "beginner cinematography".

Let me know when this Administration come out with any. And the government's resources are far greater than Michael Moore's.

Like the poster said some time back, all we're going to hear from the right wing is "Moore is fat". This coming from the same people who listen to Rush (Separate Chair For Each Cheek) Limbaugh. Didn't anyone tell Lusatian that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones?

No, it was the levy construction program that was squashed by Mr. Bush.

If you listen to the Army Corps of Engineers, (You know, the experts in the field.) to have upgraded to levees to the point of being able to resist a Cat 4 or 5 hurricane, they would have had to begin construction 20 years ago. This is because massive construction projects take time.
You have to:
1) Get a study on the parameters of exactly what you are trying to accomplish.
2) File all the paperwork.
3) Perform a huge Environmental Impact study.
4) Put the job out for bids. (Cause God help us if we don't bid it out. Then again, if we don't move fast enough and just give it to someone we know can do the job, we will get crucified in the press for that too.)
5) Evaluate all the bids.
6) Award the contract to the lowest bidder and hope he didn't 'lowball' it so much he goes out of business halfway through.
7)Finally, construction begins.

Depending on the size of the project, steps 1 through 6 can take YEARS. So even if the President, on the first day of his first term in office, had authorised every penny that was asked for (Including the funds to upgrade to Cat 5 protection which was NEVER asked for.) the job might be just barely starting.

Its important that you understand that government move slowly and poderously, but it eventually gets the job done, but it wasn't this Presidents fault about the levees of N.O.

Just my 2 cents (Pre tax)

Please explain what you mean. How is it false?

Or ... explain how Bush 43 did anything that caused the NO levees to not be improved, but they would have been improved before the hurricane but for Bush's actions or in actions.

Federal, in regards to your 7 step process. Having work on the impact/mitigation phase of a number of Army Corp flood control projects (though no levees) has an archaeologist we can safely assume the step 1 is already done. That's what these guys are paid for, to plan. Much a phase 3 has probably already be done and most of the mitigation occurs with construct (which has its own pleasures). As for phase 4 and 5, much of that is proforma. The Corp, and other government agencies such DOT keep a stable of "pet" contractors with whom they have worked with before and with whom have a high comfort level . If the powers that be want to push this process it can move remarkable quickly so I would argue that the will of the Bush (or any) administration to push such project would play a large role in how quickly such projects were expedited.
