Fat, lying, and obnoxious is a heck of a way to go through life

James Lileks takes crapsack Michael Moore to the woodshed. I can't begin to excerpt it, but I liked this part in reference to the new book, Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man:
It unpacks the assertions made by his books and movies. It’s not a flame-throwing rant. It’s the brief for the defense - the client in the dock being America. Fans of Mr. Moore would be advised to read it, if only to get a head start on refuting its innumerable refutations. Plus, it has an essay by Tim Blair, who is crueler and funnier than Moore can ever hope to be. If Moore had Blair’s talent, Ralph Nader would not only be elected president but elevated to Global Pope-Emperor by a deafening national voice-vote.
Whew! Good thing Tim isn't on the Dark Side!
