Michael Moore is a big fat slob. He is an uneducated, poorly dressed, unshaven idiot. He deserves scorn and scepticism, and every manner of derision. Michael Moore also has an agent. Someone is advising him. Someone is whispering in his ear. Someone is adding common sense.
In a very real sense I am horrified. To some degree I am stunned. But I can't help but notice. Let me be clear: Michael Moore has gone mainstream. He has foresaken his nylon sports jackets, he has given up his ball caps, he has-- say it isn't so-- shaved!!
The most recent public appearances feature a clean shaved, well groomed, suit coat sporting, Michael expounding on his latest brilliance, "Sicko". Nevermind that the substance of the "documentary" is obsurd flim-flam that doesn't even meet CNN's criteria for journalism... how can Michael Moore convert himself into someone respectable so quickly? I was loathe to realize that I was taking him more seriously. I was at least listening. He didn't seem so ridiculous. And then I realized, it was his appearance. He was out to fool me. He was tired of resembling a 16 year old drop-out... he wanted to be a serious political figure.
I was truly taken off guard by this, but now I say bring it on. If Big Mike is willing to go mainstream, all the better. Finally the sane and reasonable will be able to go head to head with the crazy and deluded.
Please just tell me when I need to shave!
