Michael Moore's vehemence.  I didn't think the Dr. Sanjay Gupta piece was so critical that it warranted this tirade at Blitzer.  What does warrant a tirade is our criminal healthcare system, and I can't wait to see the film.

last night, and I wasn't that impressed with Gupta, though I acknowledged his point about increased taxes.  It made me realize that he is probably on the conservative side.  Michael Moore made good points, but also got argumentative about issues which seemed not to warrant it.  The tape which was showed on the Wolf Blitzer program was not highly critical of his film, and if he could handle it with a little more equanimity, I think he would come across more persuasively.  I fear that when he acts that way, a whole bunch of people will just write him off.  That said, I love Michael Moore, and can't wait to see this film.  I'm hit by the healthcare industry on both sides: paying exhortitant prices for myself and my family, and haggling with insurance companies to be paid fees which over a decade have never been raised....

at his use of the word "fudge" because clearly no one has fudged the facts.  There are always different sources to pick and choose from, and as Larry King pointed out, the differences didn't seem so extreme.  Neither Moore nor Gupta came across too well, as far as I'm concerned.  That said, I don't care, because I'm yete another American who believes that domestically there's no more serious problem in this country then this criminal healthcare situation...
