i just finished reading Stupid White Men and Other Sorry Excuses For The State Of The Nation! by Michael Moore
here's a few excerpts from the book....
"We can't release the book as it is written. The political climate of the country has changed. We would like you to reconsider rewriting up to 50% of the book...removing the harsh references to Bush and toning down your dissent. And we'd like you to give us $100,000 to reprint the books we've printed". They suggested that I remove the chapter entitled "Dear George" and change the chapter title of "Kill Whitey" ("Mike, 'Whitey' is not the problem right now." "Whitey", I responded, "is ALWAYS the problem").
from the chapter, Dear George
On election night, as the vote swayed back and forth across the nation, you told the press that your brother had assured you Florida was yours. If a Bush said it was so, it was so.
But it ain't so. And when it dawned on you that the presidency had to be earned and won by a vote of the people - yes, the people! - you went berserk. You sent in hatchet man James Baker ('Fuck the Jews, they don't vote for us anyway" was his advice to Poppy in '92) to tell lies to the American people and stroke the nation's fears. When that didn't seem to work, you went to federal court and sued to stop the votes from being counted - because you knew how the vote would turn out. If you were truly sure you had the vote of the people, you wouldn't have minded all those votes being counted.
What startles me is how you turned to the big bad federal government for help. Your mantra during every campaign stop was the following: "My opponent trusts the federal government. I trust you, the people!"
Well, we soon learned the truth. You didn't trust the people at all. You went straight to the federal court to get your handout (trust the voting machines, not the people!). At first the judges in Florida didn't buy it - and for perhaps the first time in your life, someone told you no.
But as we've already seen, Daddy's friends on the U.S. Supreme Court were there to take care of everything.
In short, you've been a drunk, a thief, a possible felon, an unconvicted deserter, and a crybaby. You may call that statement cruel. I call it "tough love."
Yours,
Michael Moore
