I was planning to comment on Christopher Hitchens’ enviably eloquent take-down of Fahrenheit 9/11 when Kyle beat me to it. Too few coherent essays are both stylistically over the top and substantively below the belt. Hitchens gets extra credit for using the word “lugubrious” in a sentence.

-------------------
Michael Moore,
he ain't so wise
he makes a living
telling lies.
"Regulate this,
regulate that!"
Clinging to the gub'ment
like a spoiled little brat.
Rigid thinking
masked with rage
is a backward method
like minimum wage.
Fourteen an Hour,
don't fail HIS test!
Anything less
and your under arrest.
Obnoxious and loud,
so filled with hate.
He really can't help it
he's a ward of the state.
"I'll poke my camera
into your face
make you look guilty
and berate you in place!"
"Those greedy corporations,"
Ewwwww, they're so bad!
I'll teach them a lesson.
Conform! or be sad!"
Like a union thug
he'll get in your face.
Show you who's boss
and dump on your race.
Don't "cross the line"
you know what you'll get,
a busted lip
and a lawn full of shit.
Demean, intimidate,
berate and ridicule;
these are the methods
that Michael finds cool.
