Michael Moore vs. Wolf Blitzer

We know that ususally our "Lunch Time Video Break" is more light and airy. But we also know that you're informed and in-the-know citizens who would enjoy a great segment from Wolf Blitzer's show on CNN where Michael Moore essentially sticks it to the man, CNN and Wolf. Now yelling at Wolf about how his network operates is a little like yelling at the customer service agent at the baggage counter about the airline losing your bag. It might feel good, but it's misguided anger. Big honcho executives at CNN are responsible for ad dollars and who sponsors a segment. Nonetheless, Michael Moore's thing is not really to promote his movie, Sicko, but more to let everyone know all the pent up anger and animosity he had held since his last time on a movie junket. His "schtick" is to be relentless and angry and stand up for the American people. So is he standing up for me? Is that the way I would want to be represented given the chance - I don't think so. But no matter how you feel about Michael Moore, you have to give him credit for not giving a damn. And to be honest, give CNN credit for running the piece as is.

Now what I would really pay the big bucks for is to have a clip of what happened when the cameras went off and Wolf yelled, "Who keeps inviting this asshole on my show?"
