Michael Moore: This hurricane is proof that there is a god in heaven

Via the Autopsy, it comes about a minute in. Not the first “progressive” to admit to rooting for a hurricane, but the setting alone makes this special. Rest assured, had a conservative offered something like this about the Democratic convention, it would have earned a 28-minute speshul komment replete with light show and opening act. Coming from Michael Moore, it earns nothing more terrible than an oafish, shinola-eating grin followed by a moment of incandescent ironic beauty as Olby sneers at the viscerally distasteful prayer for rain during Obama’s speech made by one of James Dobson’s spokesmen, blissfully oblivious to the fact that Moore delivered the secular equivalent to the “Countdown” faithful assembled not 30 seconds earlier.
Moore does say he hopes no one dies; all he’s after is a heap of destruction and demoralization that can be exploited for political advantage. Exit question: Does that sound familiar?

I used to like him. Now he is just playing stupid. People in Louisiana are not going to think it was funny.
coolrepublica on August 29, 2008 at 9:43 PM
Iraq & Afghanistan, of course.
jgapinoy on August 29, 2008 at 9:43 PM
Haha! This is a trailer to that Zucker movie amirite?
carbon_footprint on August 29, 2008 at 9:43 PM
What a clean cut looking fella…
Haunchie on August 29, 2008 at 9:43 PM
Sickening, but hardly unexpected from this clown.
Red Cloud on August 29, 2008 at 9:44 PM
He looks pretty depressed and miserable. Being a hateful loon has to get a bit old…Doesn’t it?
therightwinger on August 29, 2008 at 9:44 PM
Nice of Olbermouth to have a diversity of opinions on his show.
jgapinoy on August 29, 2008 at 9:45 PM
Oh, I think that it was calling for rain to fall from the sky onto Obama’s speech.
And he had to apologize.
wise_man on August 29, 2008 at 9:45 PM
He looks like they just lifted his head out of the trough to deliver that.
Patrick S on August 29, 2008 at 9:45 PM
YES HALLELUJAH!
Louder Mik’alMoor louder…..
the only reason the American people don’t back your picks is your are too subtle….
please do your Jeremiah Wright Impersonation you wonderful human being.
Keep firing

Jabba the Hutt?
ManlyRash on August 29, 2008 at 9:46 PM
can we use this worthless fat *** as a barrier to break up the projected storm ???
what a couple fat boy and bathtub boy , lets hope neither of them breed
Mojack420 on August 29, 2008 at 9:46 PM
More like Pizza the Hutt.
Patrick S on August 29, 2008 at 9:47 PM
Maybe he should look into Karma before a piano falls on his damn head.
Cardiganfox on August 29, 2008 at 9:47 PM
we don’t need to do that….
just dial 1-900-light-worker and Barry’ll wave his arms and force the storm to turn away…
sven10077 on August 29, 2008 at 9:48 PM
Who cares what these worthless people say or do?
Borislav on August 29, 2008 at 9:48 PM
And the people of Flint, Michigan really really don’t want him back.
coldwarrior on August 29, 2008 at 9:48 PM
I was beginning to wonder where the pudgy socialist was. Personally, I’m glad he’s decided to open his bloated mouth again because it usually opens swing voters’ eyes to the radical left’s views.
Rick on August 29, 2008 at 9:48 PM
Well, I’m not gonna watch it, but if he really says that the hurricane is proof of gods existence, then that means that all hurricanes are gods will. Even Katrina. It logically follows that god wanted to wipe out New Orleans. Who are we to argue with god?
redshirt on August 29, 2008 at 9:49 PM
How about this–if the levees fail again in New Orleans, they can plug them with Moore’s fat.
m064404 on August 29, 2008 at 9:49 PM
LOL
Rick on August 29, 2008 at 9:50 PM
Michael Moore. Cake eating expert.
wise_man on August 29, 2008 at 9:51 PM
Dear N’walins…..can’t you listen I sent you a message 3 years ago….DON’T LIVE BELOW SEA LEVEL
-God
sven10077 on August 29, 2008 at 9:52 PM
Does anyone other than Olbermann care what this phoney thinks? Dressing like some good ole’ boy while he’s a multi-millionaire. If Moore really cared about any of these tragedies he films, he’d give the profits to the people who made it possible.
Deanna on August 29, 2008 at 9:52 PM
Can’t wait for the dems to get in office, they’ll tame the weather.
Those two need to get a room!
Good grief!
TheSitRep on August 29, 2008 at 9:52 PM
Sicko

I don’t normally go for the personal jabs, but couldn’t he at least spend some of his millions on some nicer duds?
Bishop on August 29, 2008 at 9:55 PM
Maybe he could buy some teeth.
bloggless on August 29, 2008 at 9:55 PM
My proof that there is a God in heaven:
I went to a local library and found Farenheit 9/11 in the “Comedy DVDs” section. Not a prank, either – it was labeled and classified as if someone had seriously considered it such.
As for this, add another mark to the “Reasons for People to Ignore Michael Moore” column. What’s the storm doing to the health care sytem in Cuba, by the way?
emailnuevo on August 29, 2008 at 9:57 PM
Er, “system.”
emailnuevo on August 29, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Beautifully put. I’m glad to see that the unwarranted vitriol in the pessimism thread isn’t putting you off your game.
Moore is becoming one of those self-caricatures. Like Jim Morrison at the end, he’s playing himself now, and the emptiness within is becoming all too visible.
Splunge on August 29, 2008 at 9:58 PM
It did give Keith an opportunity to tell the SAME lame joke twice. “Sarah Palin? You mean Michael Palin from Monty Python???” Yes, he opened his show with it.
Marcus on August 29, 2008 at 9:58 PM
Good lord . . . his fat cells have clogged his brain. Does anyone really care what this slime bag thinks?
rplat on August 29, 2008 at 9:58 PM
I see nature as proof there is a God too! But I doubt He cares that much about the convention. But I’m happy Mike has found a reason to believe. ;)
petunia on August 29, 2008 at 10:00 PM
This fat blimp is the symbol of all that is wrong with the libs.
jencab on August 29, 2008 at 10:01 PM
“Thanks for helping me out, Keith”.
erik on August 29, 2008 at 10:01 PM
The fact that he still walks this earth is proof he doesn’t exist.
Mazztek on August 29, 2008 at 10:03 PM
Now where did I put that Predator drone….
hippie_chucker on August 29, 2008 at 10:03 PM
I heard this same sentiment from my dad earlier today.
I asked if Katrina hitting Democratic NO or earthquakes in SF were God’s will.
He said that it’s not WHERE the hurricane is going it’s WHEN the hurricane is going. Pointed out the nice sunny skies the democrats had for their convention and said (with glee, I might add) that the republican’s convention would be preempted by all sorts of STORM WATCH 2008 coverage.
Smartest man I know, but, when it comes to politics, he totally drank the kool-aid.
JadeNYU on August 29, 2008 at 10:05 PM
She has a funny name.
Ronnie on August 29, 2008 at 10:05 PM
WHAT THE F HOTAIR?? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING PUTTING HIS IMAGE ON THE SAME PAGE AS PALIN?
FROM NOW ON, MAKE SURE WHEN YOU DO A STORY ABOUT MOORE, OR OLBERMANN FOR THAT MATTER, TAKE DOWN ALL STORIES REGARDING THE ALASKAN GOVERNOR.
HAVING THESE TWO GOOBERS NEAR PALIN IS LIKE PARKING A 1960s VW PEACE WAGON NEXT TO A LAMBORGHINI.
CFL on August 29, 2008 at 10:06 PM
Democrats don’t like people very much.
Elizabetty on August 29, 2008 at 10:07 PM
Can we say that the leftists will hope/wish/work for anything to hurt the American people if it will help them get back to power……………….now?
jukin on August 29, 2008 at 10:07 PM
A three-fer trifecta of blowhards
Olby, Moore and Gustav
Kini on August 29, 2008 at 10:08 PM
You’re right, but as if people like Moore, *cough* liberals *cough* are going to care about those southern “rednecks”. He only cares because he thinks it will hurt the Republicans. Otherwise, we wouldn’t hear a peep from him about any hurricane.
Weebork on August 29, 2008 at 10:08 PM
Since he got thrown out of Flint, he has now moved to Traverse City, Michigan where he has his own theater now to play his crappy movies for the liberals that live in that debacle of a city now. In fact, Madonna and her fake English accent were here for his film festival during the Cherry Festival. Can someone please take him away from Northern Michigan? We only want to be left alone and enjoy God’s Country with out the spawn of Satan (I don’t mean Bill Gates)here, flapping his yap and show how stupid he is.
flytier on August 29, 2008 at 10:09 PM
Unlike Jim Morrison, he is still with us.
ManlyRash on August 29, 2008 at 10:10 PM
I’m in Louisiana – N’awlins metro area, in fact – and no, I’m not really amused. Nor surprised.
The Corps of Engineers were willing to use newspaper (no, I’m not joking, they literally plugged up some floodwalls with newspaper instead of rubber gaskets) so I supposed they’d consider Moore’s excess poundage too.
Laura on August 29, 2008 at 10:10 PM
Just two professional American journalists – one in TV, the other in film – discussing current events.
Sigh. Only in America.
A fascist, police-state America, they’d say.
What a country.
SteveMG on August 29, 2008 at 10:12 PM
The fact that he still walks this earth is proof he doesn’t exist.
Mazztek on August 29, 2008 at 10:03 PM
No, that only proves that God is longsuffering!
flytier on August 29, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Yeah, the liberal world is a great place. “We hope all the poor people loose everything again, because it’s be politically funny”.
Imus get’s fired, berated and blacklisted for saying “nappy-headed hos” on the radio, but Moore can go on national television and hope of the destruction of an entire state and call it god’s sense of humor; but he’s okay with everyone.
Instead of praying for the destruction of peoples lives, he should be praying that I never meet him and snuff out his life.
Damiano on August 29, 2008 at 10:13 PM
I’m also in louisiana and the floodwalls are so magic they helped build condos from what I hear…..
under Moon IIRC.
sven10077 on August 29, 2008 at 10:13 PM
By the way, Team McCain is claiming it raised $3 million from the time Palin was announced at noon until 6pm.
amerpundit on August 29, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Of course; their entire existence depends upon victimhood. The more we, the people, depend upon government, the better for them.
Unlike conservatives; we just want government to get out of the way.
carbon_footprint on August 29, 2008 at 10:14 PM
A personal trainer should be worth a few bucks also. I thought I read a couple years ago that he was interested in cleaning up his looks; obviously he was counting on hope and change.
Captain Hate on August 29, 2008 at 10:15 PM
I did my part, and I’ll do my parrt again next month.
sven10077 on August 29, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Sounds like Soros told Moore the checks wouldn’t be in the mail unless he made a fool of himself again, soon.
Dusty on August 29, 2008 at 10:17 PM
sven10077 on August 29, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Hey neighbor! You staying or going, or too soon to tell?
You know what’s going to be amusing? The reaction of the whole country when the levees in Sacramento go. They’re actually in worse shape than ours.
Laura on August 29, 2008 at 10:19 PM
I think he cannot take donations after Aug 30, 2008 because he is taking matching funds.
Can somebody confirm this?
Elizabetty on August 29, 2008 at 10:19 PM
Wow, these people are just insane.
American on August 29, 2008 at 10:19 PM
And I’m fine with that. In physical appearance, manner, and words, he expresses the soul of the far left, and having that visible to Americans, as they decide whom to cast their ballot for, is useful.
Splunge on August 29, 2008 at 10:19 PM
Moore mentioned how no one this morning could pronounce Palin’s name, heh, guess Ted Kennedy got Osama Obama’s name right the first time then?
javamartini on August 29, 2008 at 10:20 PM
The time is long overdue to declare Liberalism a real mental illness.
We need some serious research to discover the cause and prevention of this debilitating disease.
Sad really……
FiveWays on August 29, 2008 at 10:20 PM
I know praying for harm to come to others is usually a big fat no-no…but so help me I keep wishing the Big Man would hit that fat, stupid, traitorous b@$t@rd with “liar’s lightning”.
Dark-Star on August 29, 2008 at 10:21 PM
If this douche doesn’t wake up in the morning, then THAT is proof there is a god.
By the way, if you are on or near the Western Louisiana coast over to Houston, Texas leave now! Not looking good.
SouthernGent on August 29, 2008 at 10:21 PM
I don’t wish Moore harm – I wish him a long, highly publicized life. Because nobody, but nobody, illustrates the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the left better than he does.
Laura on August 29, 2008 at 10:22 PM
I found an early Michael Moore picture – his high school picture I think.
NTropy on August 29, 2008 at 10:22 PM
I’m proud to say I’ve never seen a thing by him. Even back with Roger and Me that “gotcha” type humor had limited appeal for me. Somebody once told me that the only way he would see one of his movies, if morbid curiosity got the best of him, would be to pay for a ticket to another film in a multiplex and then sneak in the al-Moor flick.
Captain Hate on August 29, 2008 at 10:22 PM
SouthernGent on August 29, 2008 at 10:21 PM
Heh – he’s coming back east. Swell.
Laura on August 29, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Michael Moore is a Democrat!
And Michael Moore is their Liberal mascot,
such a jack#ss!!!!!!!!!!
And Michael also worships at the Alter of Liberalism!!!
A sick idiot!
canopfor on August 29, 2008 at 10:24 PM
The only thing that could possibly make this day any better,would be a you-tube vid of Ted Nugent,and Sarah hunting in the Michigan woods for a fat commie!..er, i mean boar!..;)
Bluestate_Blues on August 29, 2008 at 10:24 PM
Word is Team McCain (with Bush’s help) has sent a team of secret operatives to plant explosives so that the floodwalls come apart.
Rick on August 29, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Re “Team McCain is claiming it raised $3 million from the time Palin was announced at noon until 6pm.”
I sent $100 at 1600 hrs and before today I repeatedly told Mc and the RNC not a dime. To paraphrase Mrs “O”, today is the first time in a long time that I am proud of the GOP.
Dingbat63 on August 29, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Only through the RNC. McCain can’t accept donations after his acceptance of the nomination.
amerpundit on August 29, 2008 at 10:25 PM
I can’t put my finger on it, but all of a sudden I’m in the mood for a pig roast.
Tom Blogical on August 29, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Just a minute, I’m confused. Isn’t he an atheist? Is this a some form of depraved “spiritual awakening”?
lobstress on August 29, 2008 at 10:26 PM
Well, I DID see Dick Cheney in a ninja suit this morning heading toward the Lower 9th.
Laura on August 29, 2008 at 10:26 PM
Well Duh!
Doesn’t everyone just naturally assume that?
FiveWays on August 29, 2008 at 10:26 PM
Re “The only thing that could possibly make this day any better,would be a you-tube vid of Ted Nugent,and Sarah hunting in the Michigan woods for a fat commie!..er, i mean boar!..;)”

……………..
I was gonna run, but decided to stay since the donks wanna play “let’s make it an issue”.
I will help everyone in clean-up regardless of race, or creed smiling and wearing a Palin tee-shirt.
This part of the state knows how to prep-up, hunker down, and pitch in.
be safe, and all the best
sven10077 on August 29, 2008 at 10:27 PM
Moore? He’s a Catholic, which he claims leads him to oppose war. Strangely, I haven’t seem him speaking out against abortion at the same time.
amerpundit on August 29, 2008 at 10:29 PM
[Elizabetty on August 29, 2008 at 10:19 PM]
I don’t know but it sounds reasonable that August 30 would be the end of the primary season and the cut off point for primary giving. Then there is the general election seaosn where you can give another max of $2,300.
McCain/Palin can take in all they want. They just can’t spend all of it if it is over a certain amount. And it is matching funds – dollar for dollar, IIRC — not full Fed financing.
Dusty on August 29, 2008 at 10:29 PM
In civilized countries in the past – people like Michael Moore have been publically lit on fire, and the local population required to watch him burn.
grtflmark on August 29, 2008 at 10:30 PM
He’s also an anarchist. Besides being a hypocrite that preaches the same spiel that Mrs O once mouthed “Don’t Go Into Corporate America”
Kini on August 29, 2008 at 10:31 PM
Nonsense the Evil Chimp McHaliburton was appeased by the nomination of Palin…..
he will turn the storm to Mexico they need the rain I hear.
sven10077 on August 29, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Politico:
amerpundit on August 29, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Catholic??? Very much fallen away then. Did you catch al-Moore’s remarks about how the Republicans are out of touch with what women want? (Shorthand for what Rush calls the Left’s sacrament: abortion) Then again, who would want to bear the child of either of those two dorks?
Since when is “crap” part of journalistic language?
Sorry, boys, “Let them eat cake” is Pelosi’s phrase and lifestyle. Own it.
onlineanalyst on August 29, 2008 at 10:33 PM
I hate myself for even watching that idiocy.
onlineanalyst on August 29, 2008 at 10:34 PM
the design of tim blair’s blog is so stark and yet ballanced its startling.
eh on August 29, 2008 at 10:36 PM
Yes, but they re-thought it. This storm could take out a large number of Obama voters. Rove just sent out the text giving the secret storm troopers the green light.
Rick on August 29, 2008 at 10:38 PM
What about Holland?
Yakko77 on August 29, 2008 at 10:39 PM
I am so glad you registered. Proud to have you here.
RushBaby on August 29, 2008 at 10:40 PM
Michael Moore is proof that there are dumb asses.
JonRoss on August 29, 2008 at 10:40 PM
Catholic? Nah, he’s just in it for the communion wafers. Strangely, he always wraps them in bacon.
lobstress on August 29, 2008 at 10:41 PM
The first answer that came to mind for me as well but you got there first. Kudos for being on eh ball with that one.
Yakko77 on August 29, 2008 at 10:41 PM
Doesn’t he look a lot like that Gacey clown?
Star20 on August 29, 2008 at 10:42 PM
I thought he started attending the Catholic Church where they served double cheeseburgers for communion.
Rick on August 29, 2008 at 10:43 PM
Holland has more brains at breakfast than NOLA’s 9th ward has by evening dessert.
sven10077 on August 29, 2008 at 10:44 PM
I hope Michael Moore dies of a painful brain cancerous tmor
