Excremental
Christopher Hitchens has a go at Michael Moore's latest excrescence (via Let It Bleed).
To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that would never again rise above the excremental. To describe it as an exercise in facile crowd-pleasing would be too obvious. Fahrenheit 9/11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness. It is also a spectacle of abject political cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of "dissenting" bravery.
And then... Michael Moore is now responsible for another crime against taste. He has inspired more poetry from the Chaos Overlord. Fair warning. The poem is illustrated with a photo.
