Yep, Michael Moore is going to take on Tony Blair in his next film.
MICHAEL MOORE, the American director who made an anti-war film centred on President Bush, has Tony Blair in his sights Mr Moore, whose controversial documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 won the Palme d’Or at Cannes, said yesterday that his next film would take a closer look at Mr Blair’s role in the war in Iraq. “I hold Blair more responsible for this war than I do Bush, and the reason is Blair knows better. Blair is not an idiot. What is he doing hanging around this guy?” Mr Moore said.
What a total and utter tard. Now listen, Bush is an easy target on a lot of issues and for all intents and purposes he doesn’t have a great deal of obvious political acumen but Blair is an entirely different matter and quite frankly Mike, he’s way out of your league.
Mr Moore has never taken on British politics. In his last 2 books, on every occasion when he dipped his toe into the topic he displayed a level of ineptitude and ignorance, which was breathtaking.
He quite simply has no idea what’s going on over here. If he does then he goes out of his way to hide it.
This is a man who, in his book “Stupid White Men” complained that Britain should “write it down!” when it came to our Human Rights Law - any student who had attended his first constitutional law lecture would know how unutterably idiotic that statement is.
I look forward to his pathetic offering, it should if anything, be a clear indication of just how out of his depth he’s prepared to wade.
Later
