7. Being told to watch Michael Moore is the same as being asked to eat a half-a-bowl full of shit...

... to borrow an infamous ugly phrase.

Honestly, I have no idea why people fawn over him so much. He's a Nader and Stein lover. He encourages people to vote third-party and then defends them. He likened voting for Stein has giving him some sexual thrill... as though he'd "pleasured himself" in the voting booth. (Pardon me while I go vomit. Yuk!!)

He's made a career (and quite a lucrative one too, considering his $30,000,000 net worth) of making predictions. The wrong ones are forgotten and never mentioned again, but the occasional "hit" is touted as some sort of proof of his intellectual prowess and his genius political insight. Pu-lease. His predictions are not better than random chance... just like Sylvia Brown or any other TV psychic/cold-reader.

His "predictions" are frequently little more than a regurgitation of things that pundits and other political and/or legal analysts have already made in the preceding days. It's nothing new. Nothing insightful. But because the syllables fall for HIS lips, it's "something special" even though we've heard it before.

These "doomsday" type of predictions are themselves predictable. What's also predictable is that when there's a random "hit" (or anything close to it) he's showered with praise and he bleats loud "told you so's" for the next year. And when there's a complete MISS and the predictions don't come true... he's there to take credit having "warned" us in time to avert the catastrophe that he "predicted".

He's just another Democrat-hating, Nader-loving, Stein-loving grifter. He's just vile... a total waste of flesh. I can't stand to listen to him, much less look at him.
