Michael Moore, Slicko

Wifey asked me if I wanted to see Sicko, the new Michael Moore documentary when it hits theaters. I guess I should go and see it. However, I was doing a little bit of research on Moore's website and I have to say that I'm not impressed so far. The first paragraph in Moore's open letter to Henry Paulson addresses the controversy regarding his trip to Cuba. However, I suspect the second paragraph reveals Moore's real intentions:

I believe that the decision to conduct this investigation represents the latest example of the Bush Administration abusing the federal government for raw, crass, political purposes. Over the last seven years of the Bush Presidency, we have seen the abuse of government to promote a political agenda designed to benefit the conservative base of the Republican Party, special interests and major financial contributors. From holding secret meetings for the energy industry to re-writing science findings to cooking the books on intelligence to the firing of U.S. Attorneys, this Administration has shown time and time again that it will abuse its power and authority.

Does Moore really plan to make a film about the health care industry in the United States, or is he going back to the Bush-bashing well one last time before W leaves office? I'd find a documentary about health care interesting, but I think a thinly veiled attack against George W. Bush would put more bums in seats. If Hillary Clinton gets into office, Michael Moore is going to have four very lean years.
