Michael Moore, you're giving us a bad name. (RNC and Gustav)

[rn79870]

We are all sitting here with our fingers crossed that Gustav doesn't turn into another Katrina when it slams into New Orleans Monday. (Any Niconauts there, our prayers are with you).

Michael Moore points out, rather stupidly, that this is God's revenge on the Republicans. It happens during their convention.

If it wasn't so tragic it might have a little humor in the fact that McCain gets upstaged by Gus, but it is tragic, and I hope the residents of NO are smart enough to get out this time. Or even better, may Gus fizzle out.

Linkie.

I watched Moore make that statement on Keith Olberman's show and almost cried that people actually give a moron like Moore any publicity or credence at all.

The people of New Orleans, Louisiana, Mississippi, specifically, and the United States in general, should be demanding an apology from Moore and quit paying attention to him. He proved he is an even worse human being than the very people praying for rain to hit the DNC he was trying to mock.

What a completely assinine thing to say.

Oh, well ... I should not expect any better from Moore, I suppose.

What an idiot. But that's what happens when you go to Michigan State. He probably did too many drugs or hit his head during a riot.

While NO was drowning and Bush and McCain were eating cake, I was probably eating chocolate ice cream, awesome grilled food, and who knows what else. And so was the rest of America. Did Moore starve himself while NO was drowning or what? He could probably use it.

You guys are gonna hurt telco's feelings...

I hear he has a shrine erected to michael Moore (it's on a really wide wall...)

[smockers83]

Instead of carrying St. Christopher in his G to protect him during his travels, he carries a bobble head of Michael Moore to protect himself from conservative radio, the NRA when he happens upon rural areas, and it acts as the really big tin hat that doesn't fit in the car, or maybe its lead now?

Michael Moore continues to amuse me. Such a crackhead and with easy access to media outlets so we all can enjoy his latest regurgitation.

No, not at all. Moores sarcasim didn't go over well. It happens to all including me. (do I then expect to hear from you? Of course)

A good example was Howard Sterns call to an airline asking the price of a flight to a washington bridge after a plane crashed into a bridge in Washington DC. He was fired from DC101 but he then wound up in New York.

Moores documentary Rodger & Me was excellent in going after General Motors. Perhaps only now are they owning up to their mistakes but now they want the taxpayers to help bail them out. They should have paid closer attention to Michael years ago.

1) I stand corrected, then. My apologies for assuming that you were a fan. I hope it hasn't sullied your reputation here.

2) Tacky. I'd make it a personal point to avoid his show. Classless people promote classless ideals, and Stern is worthless in my opinion.

3) One thing we do agree on is that the Big Three deserve NOTHING resembling a bailout. Build something worth buying and you'll make money. Otherwise, let the chips fall where they may.

Gregg:

A little comedy does help bringing people together.It worked with racial issues in this country. (Chris Rock and many others)It is going on between Jews, Arabs and Muslims and it does work. Sometimes it just takes a long time?

Whats wrong with a little now and then?

Similar to how John Hagee said "Hurricane Katrina was the judgment of God against New Orleans". Weird.

Not a thing. I'm actually quite the fan of humor and use it a ton in my rather stresful and depressing 9-to-5.

However, I take issue when the humor is hurtful or insensitive, such as Stern's "airfare" schtick. Not funny. Especially in the market where people lost loved ones. Classless and ignorant. But, some folks like that, and that's their right.

p.s. Only 2 "G's" in my name, not 3.
