I had already written a blog on Michael Moore. Mine was on the borderline of intemperate. Then I read the Christopher Hitchens attack on Moore in Slate. I don’t need to add to Hitchens. Moore is a contemptable human being. Hitchens says what I was going to say in a brief format: “(…this is the guy who thought it so clever and amusing to catch Charlton Heston, in Bowling for Columbine, at the onset of his senile dementia.) Such courage.”
Moore’s politics doesn’t bother me. As Hitchens points out, Moore doesn’t have any politics, not recognizable politics anyway, just naive teenage venom. The kind that speaks directly to celebrity brains in Cannes and Hollywood.
I was never a fan of Heston. I’m still offended by the Columbine-Heston piece of hit cinematography. My favorite analogy is to say of a bad person that he has the morals of a rabid pit bull. That would be a step up for Michael Moore.
