Michael Moore Enjoying Corporate High Life

America's most obnoxious corporate critic, Michael Moore, is living high on the hog thanks to the perks two corporations have provided him for the West Coast leg of his book tour.

Moore was flown around California aboard a private jet, reports the San Francisco Chronicle, courtesy of media mega-corporation Time Warner.

And while he wasn't enjoying the corporate high life at 30,000 feet, he was tooling around the Golden State in the kind of vehicle anti-corporate environmentalists routinely decry as public enemy No. 1 - an SUV paid for by his publisher's corporation, Warner Books.

Moore's man-of-the-people image was further dented when it was revealed that he gladly accepted the protection of several bodyguards, who helped the left-wing crusader keep the unwashed masses at bay.

Asked if his new chairman-of-the-board lifestyle meant he was being hypocritical, Moore told the Los Angeles Times that the only reason he's feeding at the corporate trough is because it's there.

"I would never pay for this," he insisted.

I'm not surprised.
Both sides are equally full of shit.

Then again, I'd take the kickbacks and perks if I had that power.

I'm not sure I get what the big deal is. That's what authors do on book tours. He probably has one of the literary tour guides that he uses who voted for Bush - what hypocrisy! And he probably ate a sandwidch made by somebody who once voted for Pat Buchanan - even more hypocrisy!

As far as bodyguards, he ain't the first celebrity to have 'em nor will he be the last.

Must be a slow news day for the right - that "story" isn't even fit to print. If they broke a story that he invested in RJ Reynolds tobacco or whatever they call themselves, than I'd say yeah, that's total hypocrisy.
