Three cheers for Michael Moore!

Moore has penned an open letter to President Obama, begging him not to send more troops to Afghanistan. And just in time — with all the talk about Lou Dobbs and the ret, the heartland was beginning to forget that the left bows to no one in its ability to anoint an ignorant propagandist as its beloved champion. Here’s some of my favorite passages from Moore’s letter:

Choose carefully, Mr. President. Your corporate backers are going to abandon you as soon as it is clear you are a one-term president and that the nation will be safely back in the hands of the usual idiots who do their bidding. That could be Wednesday morning.

We the people still love you. We the people still have a sliver of hope. But we the people can’t take it anymore. We can’t take your caving in, over and over, when we elected you by a big, wide margin of millions to get in there and get the job done. What part of “landslide victory” don’t you understand?…

What would Martin Luther King, Jr. do? What would your grandmother do? Not send more poor people to kill other poor people who pose no threat to them, that’s what they’d do.

Cue the violins. And if you think that Michael should be argued with instead of teased, read Jazz’s post.
