Michael Moore: Give It Up, George!

11/19/05

Dear Mr. Bush:

I would like to extend my hand and invite you to join us, the mainstream
American majority. We, the people – that's the majority of the people – share
these majority opinions:

1. Going to war was a mistake – a big mistake. (link)

2. You and your administration misled us into this war. (link)

3. We want the war ended and our troops brought home. (link)

4. We don't trust you. (link)

Now, I know this is a bitter pill to swallow. Iraq was going to be your great
legacy. Now, it's just your legacy. It didn't have to end up this way.

This week, when Republicans and conservative Democrats started jumping ship,
you lashed out at them. You thought the most damning thing you could say to them
was that they were “endorsing the policy positions of Michael Moore and the
extreme liberal wing of the Democratic party.” I mean, is that the best you can
do to persuade them to stick with you — compare them to me? You gotta come up
with a better villain. For heaven's sakes, you had a hundred-plus million other
Americans who think the same way I do — and you could have picked on any one of
them!

But hey, why not cut out the name-calling and the smearing and just do the
obvious thing: Come join the majority! Be one of us, your fellow Americans! Is
it really that hard? Is there really any other choice? George, take a walk on
the wild side!

Your loyal representative from the majority,

Michael Moore
