1. It’s funny that the average sort-of followers of the Wikileaks “scandal” are finally going to get something to sink their brains into…and it’s going to bring everyone’s favorite/hated fantasy film-maker into the spotlight. Because gawd forbid he just. go. away.
2. It’s also humorous that Michael Moore is saying the leak is BS and that government officials send each other wish fulfillment memos all the time. Although, I know I’ve sent a wish fulfillment memo once or twice to my husband. But it never went well – I’m assuming the government gets the wrong size or color or style when they do that, too.
3. My favorite part? Where Moore cites three places saying that Sicko was not banned in Cuba. All are Cuban sources. You know, the communist country where the media is all kinds of highly regulated and stuff. But as long as they agree with him, they must be telling the truth. Right? Right?!
4. If the sources cited were from Cuba that were used against Michael Moore, he’d note that they were from a highly-controlled communist source and call BS so fast you’d feel a breeze a million miles away. I hate when people are willing to use things for themselves as backup that they would not allow others to use. It’s dirty pool.
5. That this is the thing that will gain traction. Of thousands of cables. This is the one. *sigh*
