2. I just saw part of it

What a sight to behold. I wish the dems would take lessons from him!

[Cooley Hurd]

8. Balls & Spine - a lesson in both just now on CNN!

Heya, Nite Owl!:hi:

[BlooInBloo]

9. It was hawt. Crooks & Liars will surely have it soon.

[Schema Thing]

3. Just happened upon it. : Awesomeness:

What a miserable fuckface Blitzer is.

Thank you Michael Moore for asking and saying what very few politicians have been brave enough to ask or say.

[redqueen]

5. are they not brave enough or are they well-paid?

i'm so sick of this system. x(

[Cooley Hurd]

4. It was a thing of BEAUTY!!!

:loveya: Michael Moore!!!!

[earthboundmisfit]

6. Ya know that old song "This Could Be the Start of Something BIG"

Sicko & Michael Moore, Live Earth and Gore, and MORE... I know we've hoped this before BUT - it really COULD be - the Start - of somethin' that should've happened LONG before now!

[rainy]

12. There is definitely something in the air. All the blow-hards are irrelevant now.

After Live Earth and Sicko when I turn on the TV I just see irrelevant old white men trying hard to still be important. Now that Robert Kennedy has called them all "flat-earthers" and "corporate toadies" I knew it was all over. There is definitely something big coming.

Can't stop this train!

7. Moore's right about Guptah...Guptah says Canadians are not served by our

health care. Then why does a recent poll show that 93% of us want to keep our health care system? Guptah is a liar and a disgrace to the medical profession!

[CoffeeCat]

11. Sanjay Gupta?

The Scrub Stud?

;)

[glarius]

15. Yes..... what Guptah says about Canadians having long waiting lines is wrong.

For elective surgery there are waiting lines, but anything serious is taken care of right away. He is a disgrace to be trying to promote for profit health care to Americans, when he is a doctor who should have the best interests of the people at heart.

[lefador]

18. I guess Mr. Guptah has never been in an emergency room in the US

... I had to rush a buddy over to the emergency room due to a deep cut in his arm that severed a couple of his tendons. We waited literally 3 hours before the attending had a chance to service him, two of my buddies spent those 3 hour holding his arm upside his head and applying pressure to the wound with a makeshift tourniquet. Had I not had the first aid training my buddy would have had serious damage to his arm, not by the wound itself but by the length of time it took to get help. This was not a busy emergency room in the innercity with 20 gunshot victims arriving at the same time, this was a medium sized city and the only emergency besides us was a car and a motorcycle crash.

I lived in Europe, and yes... sure the system ain't perfect. But at least there you have a choice to opt for private insurance if you are not satisfied with the baseline public service. Not only that, but the whole concept of ambulatory medicine means that you don't have to go to the emergency room to treat a cold. Sure, elective surgeries have a backlog... but I have never met anyone who was able to see or get an immediate appointment with an specialist in this country.

And don't get me started with some of the horror stories from some of my friends here in the States who have had to not only go from doctor to doctor, getting wildly different responses to their queries, but also had to get a crash course in medicine in to be able to better deal with their condition (my friend's wife has cancer). Back in Europe, I never heard of people having to jump through the same loops nor had to do as much private homework than some of my friends in America have to do in order to deal with serious illnesses. Here, you have to research you health plan, research your physician in the HMO offers you a choice (which is not a given), then you have to educate yourself and shop for second opinions, then you have to fight with the insurance in order to get approved, and then you have to fight with the billing department which always "screws up" in a way that benefits the HMO (I have never heard of any insurance company screwing up by undercutting the cost, it is always more expensive and it is always the patient/customer that has the burden of proof)... and then depending on the condition you will enter the wonderful world of dealing with American insurance companies and their wonderful game of "ooops that medicine that you need to take for the rest of your life after the operation and that costs a pretty penny ain't covered." Back in the old world, it was only for elective surgeries that I have had people going from specialist to specialist, usually for very specific conditions... and all through the whole ordeal they had to spend a total of 0 Euros for medical expenses. They were just focused on fighting the disease, and in the case of cancer that is quite the ordeal by itself, here you not only have to fight the disease but have to also fight the system which is designed no to cure you but screw you.

I am sure Euros and Canadians are aware of the shortcomings of their systems, no system is perfect. But at least they have a baseline coverage and don't have to deal with the same level of headaches. I just don't see them wanting to trade their systems for the mess that we have in this country.

So Dr. Guptah, I am sure he was a good first born Indian boy and made his family proud by going to med school. Like many of his ilk, he went to med school as an obligation not a vocation... and his constant defence of a system that benefits his bottomline and not the patients interests demonstrates the bottom feeders that are a big chunk of the medical profession. So he can suck my left nut for all I care. I am tired of these people trying to tell me that I should believe them and not my lying eyes.

[burythehatchet]

20. having one nut sucked by sanjay

while the other is neglected, might lead to complications.

...oh yeah, and what you said

[alarimer]

22. Any doctor that would give up oracticing medicine to be on TV

is NOT a real doctor anyway and I wouldn't spend a lot of time listening to him. Although I am not sure he has given up practicing; he just spends so much time on TV, how can he have time for patients?

Anyway, any CNN mouthpiece is beholden to advertisers, which probably include insurance companies.

[Kingshakabobo]

31. Wolfie said Gupta couldn't respond cause he was in surgery. Apparently, he still practices. n/t

[dflprincess]

29. Long lines? On last night's local news it was discussed that some

Minnesotans are waiting up to 6 months for a routine colonoscopy. Though we were assured that people experiencing any symptoms (bleeding, abdominal pain) get put to the front of the line. Several years ago when I was having a symptom, I waited six weeks (fortunately, it turned out to be nothing.)

[lovuian]

23. 95% would want to keep their healthcare over America

Gupta is a liar an propogandist

[wildbilln864]

26. yes, 93% of the super rich!

Or did they poll the Katrina victims, homeless people, unemployed? :grr:

[glarius]

30. I'm referring to Canada when I say us.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I'm a Canadian and referring to 93% of Canadians.

[NotGivingUp]

10. Me too! Wow! Now that's how I'd like to see some politicians speak up! nt

[senseandsensibility]

13. Does anyone have a link yet?

Sounds great.

[durtee librul]

14. Even normally staid hubby

was clapping and yelling at Mike to tell 'em! That alone was worth the price of the monthly cable.

Pissed me off that Cafferty stuck up for Leslie.

I am going to go on Mike's blog tonight and tell him his next project should be the M$M.....when i was in Thailand last month, to read the news there was a real experience and I even brought them home to read over and over. I strongly recommend all who don't to start reading foreign papers for the real story.

Go MIKE!!!!

[BlooInBloo]

16. He was extra heartable today, no doubt about it.

[SoonerPride]

17. I haven't seen it, but I don't Wolfie could handle the situation.

And he even has a room for it.

[donkeyotay]

19. But that's only for scripted sitiations.

CNN must have misunderestimated how pissed Moore would be after they did that introductory hit job on him. Moore was great.

[johnfunk]

21. Moore disemboweled Wolfie and Doctor Sanjay PhRMA... er, Gupta!

Moore: "I don't talk in sound bites, so -- that report was so biased. I can't imagine what pharmaceutical company ad is coming up right after our break here. But, uh, y'know -- why don't you tell the truth to the American people... about what's going on in this country?"

[Decruiter]

24. I'm sold. I'm not watching CNN again.

Twenty-fours of Crap Not News. Who needs it?

[marlakay]

25. I have loved him for years

in fact he is how I heard of this web site years ago in early 2004 he posted this website up on his site.

[jazzjunkysue]

27. "Why didn't you ask the questions before we got into the war?" Beautiful.

He screamed at Wolf: "Why are we in this war? Why? Where are the WMD's? If you all had done your job and asked the questions, we might not have been there at all making this mess."

Why is the voice of reason and reality so rare?

Oh, yeah. Greed.

[Dinger]

28. I Saw That. Best Smackdown Of wolfie, CNN & The Rest, Bar None!

Holy flamin' shitpile, did Moore give it to him. Is there a transcript, or will it re-air? OH MY GOD, I STILL CAN"T BELIEVE THAT ASS-WHOOPIN'!!!! Left me breathless, seriously!!!!!!!!
