Michael Moore on Canada

If liberals [in Canada] are trying to recast themselves as a party of ideas and not a bunch of righteous elitists, then Michael Moore didn't get that memo

Far be it from me, as an American, to suggest what you should do. You already have too many Americans telling you what to do. Well, actually, you've got just one American who keeps telling you to roll over and fetch and sit. I hope you don't feel this appeal of mine is too intrusive but I just couldn't sit by, as your friend, and say nothing. Yes, I agree, the Liberals have some 'splainin' to do ... you have a parliamentary system (I'll bet you didn't know that -- see, that's why you need Americans telling you things!).

These are no ordinary times, and as you go to the polls on Monday, you do so while a man running the nation to the south of you is hoping you can lend him a hand by picking Stephen Harper because he's a man who shares his world view. Do you want to help George Bush by turning Canada into his latest conquest? Is that how you want millions of us down here to see you from now on? The next notch in the cowboy belt? C'mon, where's your Canadian pride? I mean, if you're going to reduce Canada to a cheap download of Bush & Co., then at least don't surrender so easily. Can't you wait until he threatens to bomb Regina?

Fine show, Mr. Moore! Personally I think the sarcasm was in particularly bad taste, but I guess snark (sarcasm's prissy grad student brother) must have had a midterm coming up.
