Makeover contest shows poor judgment

Aren't there enough whiskery, overweight loudmouths around here to make fun of? This is to complain about your Michael Moore Makeover contest. There's no good reason for it, but I can suggest some bad ones:

  • Is it your intention to belittle Michael Moore's accomplishments as a filmmaker?

  • To undermine his credibility as a social activist?

  • To assert that a filmmaker's appearance is more important than her or his work?

  • Or is your desire to ridicule Michael Moore inspired by envy at his success?

    Whoever green-lighted this project could use a Mental Makeover to improve editorial judgment. Grow up.

    Moment of silence for Ms. Kirby-Smith's missing sense of humor, please...

    I had planned on doing an entry, but never got it done. If I had, it would have had Mr. Moore with a baseball cap with PREZ on the front. Above him would have been a quote: "I will be spending the weekend with Vice President Winfrey at Camp David to discuss where to hold the war-crimes trial for Mr. Bush."

    Credibility as a social activist? Please. The guy is a ultra left wing bomb thrower. I think he actually hurt Kerry's efforts in the election, but protraying Democrats as leaning over to his ilk. While we're at it, let's do a makeover of George Soros, he could really use it too.
