Remember all the manufactured outrage over that little quip by old Bushy coming from the left many years ago?
Hell, it even made it into Fahrenheit 9/11.


Well, today, as 14 more U.S. soldiers are killed in Afghanistan, Obama has played more golf than Bush did in almost 3 years.

Now I don't have any manufactured outrage over this, I'm just putting it here so everyone that lit into Bush for it has a place to vent their righteous anger towards Obama.

Maybe Obama's handicap's a bit higher. Could be he needs work on his swing...never underestimate the need for a smoother follow-through, while squaring the hips.

When his number of vacation days start to challenge W's, then I'll get worried.

Really? I would think you'd be thrilled that W was away from the White House all the time...but we both know there's no such thing as a Presidential vacation

Wow, Michael Moore, big surprise. All he is is the left's Rush Limbaugh.

Obama has had a much harder January-September in his first year in office than Bush. I'll give the harder September-October to Bush based on 9/11, and we'll see for the rest of the year.

If the school newspaper (if we had one at my school) kept track of how many games of poker I play, or how many beers I drank, then I'd probably come off as not committed to my job too. But that would be misleading.

Are you serious?

Yeah, it's pretty much true. Loud obnoxious fat guy, check. Tends to ignore and manipulate facts, check. Appeals greatly to the crazies of each party. Really good at pissing people off, etc. etc.

CV, did you just break from Party orthodoxy? I'm impressed, but at the same time afraid for your well being.

Loud? Check. Obnoxious? Check. Guy? Check. Fat? Not so much anymore.

Schony: Is that your son? You must be wicked proud and panic stricken all at the same time.

I must admit..I love to listen to Rush. He just makes me laugh...or at least he used to back in the '90s when I had time to listen to him. I think its the 'update songs' that he played before he'd talk about a favorite subject like animal rights, women's rights, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, etc. I'm just immature enough where it cracked me up. I think he's lost his touch lately, though. Not nearly as entertaining as he used to be.

Michael Moore is just, well, if I leaned to the left, I'd probably like him, but since I don't, I think he's a confused fathead.

I'm nto a democrat, so no. I've always had a certain disdain for both major american parties. I think that most of the time, they're opposite sides of the same coin, like Rush and MM.

I think Moore is funny, I think that he brings up a lot of good points using his own brand of humor, but I also think he is guilty of massaging statistics, quotes and interviews to suit his agenda. He kind of reminds me of crosscheck whe he deliberately posts unflattering pictures of politicians he doesn't like.

Rush is loud, obnoxious, and probably doesn't believe half the stuff he says. He caters to his base well, and a lot of people like him for that. A lot of what Rush says is sensational, and designed only to get a reaction or stir controversy.

Thought I'd condense your comment to the part I find most provocative...I'm sure x-check will just love this comparison!

Yeah, I knew someone would catch that. I'm pretty sure Moore strips down a lot of his interviews to points where the interviewee stumbles over his words, or he takes quotes out of context to support his agenda.

Rush pretty much goes in lock-step with the GOP line, there are exceptions, but he's generally all about whatever legislation is currently on the Republican agenda. Michael Moore, while he obviously favors Democrats, targets all politicians who he thinks aren't doing their job. Did he stop making movies while Clinton was in office? no. What are his targets? Well, currently it's bankers, in the past, the CEO of GM (Roger and Me), the healthcare industry (Sicko), (yes) George W. Bush (farenheit 9/11), corporations that outsource jobs and crush unions (the Big One), and the media (Bowling for Columbine). Do you think Rush would ever have the balls to take on such forces, which basically control both parties? I sure don't. I also think that Rush cares only about the rich and powerful and is a voice that tries to preserve the status quo, while Michael Moore cares about the poor and is a voice for change. overall, I think comparing the two only works on a pretty superficial level, but of course I'm biased.

This is a pretty accurate analysis. I've actually seen all of Moore's films except for his most recent. Like I said, I like the guy, I just often disagree with his methods.

EDIT: Haven't seen the big one.
