More on Moore

So the Michael Moore "anonymous" gift to his biggest critic is apparently in the movie SiCKO. Moore had planned to call Jim Kenefick of Moorewatch.com before the Cannes premiere, but by then word had leaked out about it.

Moore makes his points with a blunt instrument, and they're designed to provoke a response. I still think this was a shrewd and somewhat brilliant maneuver, and the carping from Jim Kenefick after taking the money smacks of ingratitude. But I think you can certainly say that it wasn't an act of altruism. It was an investment in the production of a movie with a definitive slant.

If we had a functioning health care system in this country this would be a moot point. And we could do it without anyone having to rely on $12,000 gifts.
