Political "Fatal Attraction"?

Is the Left's fat bastard feeling jilted, is he just pissed over his BS crockumentary not getting a Best Picture nomination, or could he actually be developing a political inferiority complex?

Disgruntled conspiracy filmmaker Michael Moore blasted the Democratic Party on Thursday, saying its field of candidates for 2008 consists of "a lot of wimps and losers.""The Democrats are going to have a very hard time winning the next election," he told London's Channel Four. "The Republicans have a number of star players and the Democrats have a lot of wimps and losers."

What "number of star players"? The only pachyderm I see out there that could be nationally viable is Jeb Bush, and at least for right now he says he isn't running. The others are either governors who aren't ready or senators, who can't win by definition.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is the de facto incumbent in '08, so assured is her hold on the Dem nomination, and she's one of the few hard-lefties who isn't making a complete ass of herself. Indeed, it's people like Double-M who are making it effortless for her to triangulate between them and the GOP.

If the Donk grassroots weren't certifiably crazoid, I would suspect the "big, fat, stupid white man" of being in on it.

Only last month Moore was calling Hillary Clinton a Democratic Party star who had a good chance of winning in 2008. But her widely reported move to the center has apparently turned him off.

Sure it has. And when she is coronated at the '08 Dem convention, he'll be bowing down to her golden calf right along with the other lib pagans. That's precisely why Mrs. Clinton has the luxury of triangulating, unlike any of her would-be rivals.

Moore was particularly irked that so many Democrats, including Clinton, voted to confirm Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice this week.

"It was a disgusting sight and indicative of who the Democrats are," he told Channel Four.

Sane?

"They are lazy and they're cowards and I'm just hoping that the more they continue to act like that the more it will encourage Americans to run against them and put the US back in the hands of the working class, where it belongs."

Good Lord, the verbal lynching they inflicted on her wasn't sufficient? Was he really expecting a filibuster? Well, so was I, as a matter of fact. Score one for me.

As to "Americans running against Democrats and putting the US back in the hands of the working class," we already have people like that - they're called "Republicans."

Moore said the GOP is much more aggressive. "Bush and the Republicans have no shame and will resort to anything in order to win. The Democrats show up to a gun fight with a butter knife and thus they lose."

No, the Democrats showed up with tire irons, brass knuckles, numbchucks, and baseball bats, and they still lost. That's what people like Double-M will never grasp: that just because they hated George Bush's guts didn't mean a majority of voters did. They ran on a cult of anti-personality, while the President ran on a positive, pro-active issues platform that most Americans liked.

Plus, most people liked Dubya personally as well. And that sure as hell wasn't the Democrats' fault. All of which goes to show that sometimes, it's as difficult to make chicken salad into chickenbleep as it is the reverse.

The radical movieman said he "prayed nightly" that Bush's "many scandals" would catch up to him and end his second term prematurely.

Prayed? To Whom? I thought he didn't like Hillary now.

Instead, said Moore, "I will promise you that I will donate as much of my time as I can in the coming months to see that the anti-Bush movement transforms itself into a massive anti-war movement so we can bring these troops home."

What's the old expression? "If wishes and buts were cherries and nuts, every day would be Christmas."

And Michael Moore would look like Brad Pitt.
