Michael Moore
Edited on Sat Oct-04-03 08:42 AM by muchacho
I can't wait for hos new book "Dude, where's my country?". Between Moore, Franken, Ivins and Hightower my stocking s going to be mighty full this Christmas.

From Moore's site:

I have written a new book, and this Tuesday it's being released. It's called, "DUDE, WHERE'S MY COUNTRY?" Because its content is likely to upset more than a few people, the publisher has "embargoed" the book until midnight Monday (which means no store or media outlet or anyone has access to a copy of the book until then).

They have taken these measures because I have written a book that seeks not to defeat the Bush people next year, but to have them removed from Washington right now. I know, I'm not asking for much. But I have spent the better part of the past year researching and writing this new book, and when you read it you'll see why the current criminal investigation of the White House for outing a CIA agent in revenge is, in my opinion, just the tip of the iceberg. I can only hope that my book will make a small contribution toward that day when we'll see one long perp walk of administration officials in handcuffs being led out of the White House and into a waiting paddy wagon. Like I said, I'm not asking for much.

3. That's a very funny title.
Michael Moore has a great sense of humor. I like how his film Bowling for Columbine shows how many Americans have their heads stuck so far up their asses that they have a warped view of reality. He also praised France. :)

5. Can't wait
Edited on Sat Oct-04-03 09:30 AM by Champion_Jack




If you get the New York Times, you may have noticed a mysterious ad for the past four days in the Arts section. Each day, the ad simply asks a new, pointed question of Mr. Bush. They are questions from my new book, from a chapter entitled, “Seven Questions for George of Arabia.” We are running one ad each day until the book comes out on Tuesday. In case you’ve missed them, here are the first four:

1. Dear Mr. Bush, is it true that the bin Ladens have had business relations with you and your family off and on for the past 25 years?
2. Dear “Mr. President,” what is the “special relationship” between the Bushes and the Saudi royal family?
3. Dear “Mr. President,” who attacked the United States on September 11th—a guy on dialysis from a cave in Afghanistan, or our friends, the Saudi Arabians?
4. Dear “Mr. President,” why did you allow a private Saudi jet to fly around the U.S. in the days after September 11th and pick up members of the bin Laden family and then fly them out of the country without a proper investigation by the FBI?

I can't wait to read it.

According to his email, he'll be on TV next week:

"I will also be on the “Today Show” on Tuesday, and “The View” and “Conan” on Wednesday."

7. When Barnes & Noble has a 30% off best seller sale on it
Then I'm grabbing it.

Let's hope the book puts enough pressure on the immoral degenerate bastards running America who openly and proudly support the outsourcing of jobs to other countries.

Bush isn't an agent of satan. The lumpy little lunatic is the son of satan.

9. He Can Help "Rock The Vote"
My teenage kids love watching "Bowling For Columbine" and he's become a cult figure on college campuses.

Hopefully he's on-board with the rest of us next year and he can help energize this ignored voting block (18-21 year olds). It made a difference in '92 and we're gonna need it next year.

11. "They have taken these measures because..."
Edited on Sat Oct-04-03 10:23 AM by Mairead
C'mon Michael, play it straight. 'They have taken these measures' because that's what they do with all books likely to be popular. They do it for economic reasons, so that some store whose shipment is delayed isn't left out in the cold for sales.

Terry Pratchett's publisher does the same 'embargoing' with his novels, and he doesn't claim--though he could--that they're politically subversive.

So please, Michael, stop with the hype. Our cause is served best by de-mystifying things, not by making them less understandable.
