Michael Moore: "A Ferret with a Real Bad Thyroid Condition"
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.
On a tip from Oiao.

A lot of lefty organizations use this scheme. If you look at PETA, Greenpeace, the Rainbow Coalition and the like, they all have legions of sappy volunteers doing the scut work like administrative tasks, menial labor, and fundraising, while the executive staff is highly paid for doing little more than jetting off to conferences at luxury hotels and appearing on TV to moan about how the poor are being exploited.

Michael Moore has reproduced? Now I'm really depressed.
And a bit nauseous too - who what would have sex with him, or do I not want to know the answer to that question?

Somehow, I'm not surprised that this was how he turned out to be.
Remember how Michael Moore personally came down to Florida in the days before the 2004 election to campaign for Kerry and I think he also said he wanted to personally make sure there wasn't anyGOP voting fraud or some crap like that?
Well, I'm from Florida, and I remember a few years ago having a conversation with a classmate of mine. This classmate said that she had a friend who worked as a volunteer for the Kerry campaign headquarters there, but actually QUIT just because Moore was so repulsive in person. According to the friend, Moore dressed like a complete slob, had horrible B.O., and had the mouth of a sailor all the time.
Can't say I'd blame her or the Ebay guy for quitting.

Maybe that's why leftists are so concerned with having government intervene to stop worker exploitation - they assume everyone is as much of a bastard as they are. The concept of individuals treating one another decently without authoritarian coercion is inconceivable to the liberal mind.

There's something to that, Beef. There's a lot of projection involved. It's like these lefties are fighting their own shadows.
Incidentally, I have also had experience with far left employers, and found them to be similarly despotic and ungenerous.

nothing against Marx, mind you,
and
IT WAS THE MOST OPPRESSIVE JOB I HAVE EVER HAD
You would think maybe a lesson would be learned.

LOL! I really do believe after all this that he doesn't see the connection between Mooreon being a Marxist and his oppressive behaviour.

A small view of communism, folks: the "happy workers" and the Commisars who control them.
Posted by: KHarn at March 25, 2008 4:34 PM
Yeah, I'm sure all the imprisoned folks in every Marxist Gulag thought the same thing on their first morning of forced labor that this useful idiot felt..."nothing against Marx(ism), mind you, but geez… It was a weird way to start the first day of work!
The big question is why why is he selling that book? It's not his! It belongs to the state and the common good!
Posted by: Bryherb at March 25, 2008 5:27 PM
Sounds like a microcosm of the communist system.

What did Michael Moore do with the money he saved by have a "volunteer" staff? I demand an investigation! Better yet, I'll investigate it myself and film the whole thing! I'll call it "The real fat cat"....Hey, does anyone else have any better names?
Posted by: conservativeteen at March 25, 2008 8:17 PM
Conservativeteen, that's a pretty fitting title, and nickname for Moore.
A few other titles I can think of for a movie about what he's really like:
1. "Hypocrite"
2. "Marxism in Action"
3. "The Blob" (That's my own nickname for Moore)
