And because NPR is too lofty to do 'gotcha' attacks, why not do a snot-fest, which is wholly permitted?<br /><br />I recall Joanne Silburned-out's sniveling hissy-fit about Michael Moore's 'Sicko'. It wasn't really that hissy, mainly because she is such a dreary personality, but one could detect the jealousy and contempt for Mike's film.<br /><br />PS: For the record, Smith, you will be further enraged to know that Stone has also done what is probably a valuable historical document: filming his encounters with Castro, which have been virtually censored in the US and available only in PAL formats abroad, to save delicate 'Muricans from being corrupted by any satanic charms.Porter Melmothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473990960543501439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27644679.post-6168858744168695442009-09-29T09:22:13.772-05:002009-09-29T09:22:13.772-05:00b!p!f!b!: "Bawwlb" is exactly how he say...b!p!f!b!: "Bawwlb" is exactly how he says it.<br /><br />Brilliant analyses in the posts and comments.
