Politics Michael Moore Calls for Boycott of Connecticut

Posted by Jonny Diamond on Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 3:23 PM

Though I concede that his heart is in the right place I've never been a fan of Michael Moore's abrasive gotcha-style agit prop, an approach which has occasionally crossed a line into alienating otherwise reasonable people.

Well, he's done it again, calling for a boycott of the ENTIRE STATE OF CONNECTICUT, because he holds that state responsible for Joe Lieberman, who he holds responsible for the death of health care reform. So, once again, I agree with him in principle, but I'm not sure how not going to Bridgeport is going to make much of a difference.

This episode even had a penis. So it was very special indeed.

Sometimes broadcast TV is good! No, really, it is!

And that might actually be a small step forward.

No, really, he's good. Look at all these photos of his paintings that he tweeted.
