Michael Moore: "A Ferret with a Real Bad Thyroid Condition"
Posted by Dave Blount at March 25, 2008 9:05 AM
As even moonbats can attest, liberal icon Michael Moore is one of the world's most unappealing human beings. A former employee is auctioning off the signed copy of Moore-on's diatribe Downsize This!, which he apparently received in lieu of pay for two weeks of work. Here's what he has to say on eBay:
Not to come off as some Right-Wing looney (I'm pretty darn liberal, obviously - otherwise I wouldn't have worked for the man), but the above autographed book is all I have from working for Michael Moore for two weeks. Hypocritical bas*ard! […]
Ya see, back in the days when I was younger and less crushed by life, I got the great opportunity to work as an Asst. Office Manager for Mr. Moore's production company, Dog Eat Dog Films. IT WAS THE MOST OPPRESSIVE JOB I HAVE EVER HAD! Almost the entire staff was comprised of unpaid interns, who did everything from pick up his dry-cleaning, to babysit his daughter. My job largely consisted of fielding calls from former interns, all begging Mr. Moore to at least send them a letter of recommendation (he never did). I was expected to work until 9PM every night, for no extra pay! Mr. Moore was a genuine WEIRDO who would view you as Mark David Chapman if you acknowledged his existence, but be insulted if you didn't seem in awe of this large celebrity! He had a big red copy of the Collected Marx on the bookshelf, right below his Emmys - which was odd, because I had seen him give a speech at IFFM a week earlier where he went out of his way to bring up during an anecdote that he'd never read, or even owned a Marx book. (nothing against Marx, mind you, but geez… It was a weird way to start the first day of work!)
Mr. Moore's staff provided NO TRAINING AT ALL to the intricacies of his very weird office, except for one briefing document that described what food the office must always have (I'm not joking at all, people! There was a half-page about Baked Lays potato chips)! Basically, after about a week of feeling like a pre-teen in an Upton Sinclair novel, I got the hell out of there! The horror was too much to bear. Ah well. I faired better than my roommate of the time, the guy who got me the job. He INTERNED for Mr. Moore for about 18 solid months. No pay whatsoever, and he COULDN'T EVEN GET A NICE REFERENCE LETTER from this meatnormous documentarian, even after a year of trying! (And I'm not even gonna get started on the difficulties this guy has had in the years since). Can you believe that crap? He's a HYPOCRITICAL BUTT-TASTER! He may make some real funny flicks, but it was like working for a ferret with a real bad thyroid condition.
You also get an "Official Member Mike's Militia" promo button and a mint hardcover of Dude, Where's My Country? The current bid is $15,50, which strikes me as at least $15.51 too high.
No extra charge if your name happens to be Chris.
