2. Michael is still (rightfully) pissed.
But it's good to see a healthy and civil discussion of such an important issue.

"discrediting" is putting it mildly.

5. Shouldn't he apologize for trying to take down the Bailey Building and Loan?

8. Potter has written a book...
"The Campaign Against Sicko". Moore is almost speechless with emotion over Potter's apology and active participation in the movement for health reform.

11. Moore called Potter "the Daniel Ellsberg" of our time
Potter is to health care what DE was to ending the Vietnam War.

Wow. :cry:

16. Michael Moore no slouch as an interviewer either.
The victim interviews the perp. Reality TV, or something.

18. I hope
Tweety chokes... after how he handled a liberal female guest on his show. He HATES liberals, and swoons over chicken-hawks. Yet is anti-war?

Conficted comes to mind.

20. Oh, that's so nice. Only a few tens of thousands needlessly died, I guess.
An apology. How nice.
