Mikey on Oprah again
Well, I didn’t get to see it. My Tivo, or rather the Comcast cable that feeds it, blacked out the channel it was recording on. I assume some weird syndication rule kicked in. I didn’t find out until last night when we sat down to watch his sales pitch for Super Special Free Magical Health Perfection For All Run By The Same Government That Can’t Get Anything Else Right But Will Somehow Magically Do This One Overwhelmingly Massive Thing Absolutely Right.
Damn, that is an unwieldy name.
Anyway, if you saw it, please comment...or feel free to write up a post-length entry and I’ll post it for you.

There’s not a couch in the world that could survive.
Jim, its on You Tube in six parts.
There’s not a couch in the world that could survive.
Well, the couch hhas survived Oprah in all of her phases, but MM would put even those hydraulics to the test.
It was more of the same, really. The old saw about medicare, the wildly popular government run health insurance program with extremely high satisfaction levels and administration costs at one tenths of private insurance as a sane model instead of the current corrupt abyss of profit-driven health choices. Nothing new at all. I do take offense and your post claiming our government can’t get capital A Anything right? Do you believe that or do you inflate your language for dramatic effect, ‘cuz it’s pretty disrespectful of those soldiers sacrificing their blood and you claiming they can’t get Anything right.
it’s pretty disrespectful of those soldiers sacrificing their blood and you claiming they can’t get Anything right.
We can’t, and whether or not that’s disrespectful is irrelevant. The military is the most spectacularly inefficient cluster fuck in history, and a perfect example of the reasons government fails and shouldn’t be trusted with things like health care.
Which is not to say that individual members of the military don’t know what they’re doing, just that the military, taken as a whole, is so inefficient and poorly managed that very little ever gets done, and those things that do get accomplished are far more expensive and difficult than they should have been.

Wow. Talk about torture. I take offense to your being stupid, insulting and deliberately obtuse. How did you manage to twist my words and intent to something so fucking stupid and far off the point?
Congrats. You win moonbat of the day.
i tried to watch but the user had already removed the clip, anywhere else i can watch it ?
it was best viewed with a wide screen tv
"Moore: When… they call this ‘socialized’ medicine, I think we need to change the terms, I’d like like to call it ‘Christianized’ medicine...”
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!? This is Michael Moore saying this?!?
If Bush came out and said, “Hey, I’m giving free health care to every child in America because that’s the Christian way of doing things,” Moore would be the first at bat to say, “Oh, so we’re calling it ‘Christianized’ medicine now? W. Bushitler is turning this country into his own personal theocracy!”
That’s easy bismarck. Moore believes the people opposed to him are a bunch of blithering religious idiots and if its got christian in it, then they’ll be all for it.
Sorry, I couldn’t get past Oprah’s pathetic fawning. “If you’re an American, you MUST see this movie, regardless of what you think of Michael Moore.”
She’s not going to have another “modest” payroll tax that forces her to choose between eating and staying warm.
Here’s an idea. How about if the government stops spending our money on idiotic, useless stuff and lets us keep it? Sounds drastic, but it’s worth a try.
I Tivoed it myself and caught it a day or two later. I came here and noticed there wasn’t anything about it, so something told me you hadn’t had a chance to catch it.
Jim, if you’d like, I can put it on a tape for you and fire it over. I’ll send you an email with “Oprah and Moore” in the subject line. If you’d like me to fire a VHS off to you, let me know.
Did he jump up and down on the couch??
