Also, if given the opportunity to have a sit-down with Hank Paulson, MM would really nail that guy to the wall on this thing, in addition to asking him, point blank, did you or did you not have a hand in 9/11? He’s resisted all requests so far and I’m pretty sure we know why.
You’ve said you started filming “Capitalism: A Love story” a year and a half ago. Did the film change after Lehman went bankrupt and the stock market crashed?
I started out wanting to explore the premise of capitalism being anti-American, and anti-Jesus, meaning it’s not a Democratic economy. And it’s not run with a moral or ethical code. But when the crash happened, it added a third plot line: not only is capitalism anti-American and anti-Jesus, it doesn’t work.
You tried to get Hank Paulson on the phone in the film, but weren’t successful. If you got him on the phone today, what would you ask?
If I had a chance to talk to him, I’d want him to come clean and tell me the truth about how he rigged this whole thing.

Paulson would take Tubby down with ONE punch.
Is he trying to yell at the stock exchange in that pic?
@1 but MM would presumably eat him first.
@2 haha
He looks so beagle in that pic.
i will also ask him, point blank, “are you or are you not going to finish that sandwich?”
“about how he rigged this whole thing.”
awesome
eat me, you fat fuck.

@6 you wouldn’t ask, you’d just help yourself.
Finally, someone who makes my issues with food look tame.
-mike bberg
does this megaphone make my ass look fat?
“the richest 1% at the top have more financial wealth than the 95% beneath them.”
considering he can’t do math, maybe the problem is he just doesn’t understand capitalism…
Capitalism doesn’t work? Really? How could he be so stupid? Read a f’ing book MM.
Parable of the talents anyone? Or is MM to busy to actually read what the big JC had to say?
MM – return your ill-gotten riches to the people!
You fat fuck.
Jesus might not be down with capitalism, but he was down with bonin’ hookers. Scorsese really knew how to write good fiction, as do the Christians!
Fat, Drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son
“100 donut holes is what I eat before breakfast… did you know Jabba-the-Hutt was based on my mother?”
-MM
Michael Moore must be incredibly rich himself now. The obvious thing for his right-wing enemies to do would be to use his tactics against him: follow him around with a camera, try to get him to speak about his house, what he’s done with his money, how much he’s made from his movies, and so on. Then you’d juxtapose all that with his anti-capitalist rants, and he’d look like a real hypocrite. It’s actually surprising no one has done this yet.
@18, terrible, kill yourself.
I want you to squeeze, and squeeze, and squeeze! Give me spice!
MM, get cancer.

Jesus wasn’t very big on gluttony either, Mikey. He also didn’t have money changers fund the Sermon on The Mount. (I understand GS did fund Mammoth Mike’s latest crockumentary)

@19:
Maybe Gasparino could do one of his exclusive investigations on MM. That would be justice for the morbidly obese, no nothing, sensationalizing, hypocrite from Flint.
@21 MM does look alarmingly like the Baron

Here’s some porn for MM:
DOUBLE PEANUT BUTTER PAISLEY BROWNIES
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-2/3 cups (10-oz. pkg.) Peanut Butter Chips
1/2 cup Hershey’s Syrup
Makes 36 servings. Perfect for an MM snack.
Bess fails to offer anything productive, again. OMG did anyone else realize that MM is A BIG FAT? OMG. Why didn’t anyone comment about this sooner.
He has a provocative documentary? WELL, HE IS FAT. SO THERE.
Capitalism: 1
MM: 0
@30
Huh?
@30 uh, wtf are you talking about? her job is to amuse, which she does with every post. there’s your fucking “productivity.” also, no where in the post does she say anything about MM being fat. those are the comments. finally, use of OMG makes you sound like an uber fag.
I’m no Moore fan, but he’s right when he says that capitalism has been a failure. The pigs of Wall Street took the whole thing down and were then too pussified to own up to it. They ran to Mommy Government to bail them out of their disaster. Disgusting!
@30 please take your meds before commenting here again.
@33
when the child cries for more ice cream, who’s at fault if he gets it?
All things being equal, Michael Moore’s tube socks will stretch out faster than mine.
~Gaspo
NeoCon’s using the name of Jesus to slander the good name of MM. Troubling.
NeoCons exploiting Christ to besmirch the good name of MM. Troubling.
From the article: “Where’s the bullet train to take us from New York to L.A. in 10 hours?”
Um…it’s called an airplane. And it’ll do the job in 4 hours.
@33, be careful throwing around the word “pig” when defending Michael Moore, given his resemblance to that porcine species.
Also, Jesus = pigs okay now.
no one understand you 30. But I do.
Who would you rather fuck, Michael Moore, Ghadafi or Bess On The Rag?
@41 wow, inappropriate.
@41 MM – third fold below the left nipple.
@33- I’m going to invent a new, more aggressive type of derivative and sell it exclusively to your family, friends, and the small businesses you frequent.
@ 41 MM – Third fold below the left nipple.
Jesus saves, Ronaldo puts in the rebound.
@33- I guess I’ll also let MM and Mad Max in on the action.
-44
@42:
Whenever MM befouls a place with his massive, bovine presence, things seem to get ugly and degenerate. MM has that rare gift of being able to turn any bad situation to total shit.
@29 I know Dealbreaker and its loveable sponsors does not condone or endorse illicit drug use but you left out the goddamn hash. Don’t let it happen again.
@44 Invent a derivative AND sell it. Sorry, traders don’t “invent” derivatives and are hardly capable of understanding them. Nice try though!

That bearded man is obese and smells of sour cheese.

While we may disagree, we should all recognize that the freedoms we enjoy today are in no small part the result of the open exchange of ideas based on the intricacies of our Democratic society which encourages both the rich and the poor to express themselves with a blind eye to the importance of the messages we try to convey through a variety of media of which we can be proud to be participants in when we feel compelled to speak up about those things which are, for the most part, the diametrically opposed positions which result in attaining a middle ground to the detriment of only those people who, for the betterment of the greater good.
@49-
I intentionally left that out, for everyone’s safety. I’m worried that MM plied with hash-munchies would simply devour everyone on Wall Street in a gluttonous orgy of self-righteous capitalist destruction.
-29
@42 please return to Above the Law and gargle with some clorox. thx.
@Seaman/#35 – What if the child is holding a gun? Who’s fault is it then?
-Kevin Lomax
@52: sounds like a Greg rant. MM is still a fat jerkoff.
@50, fail better next time.
That Mary Magdalene was a hooker is a common misperception among idiot bloggers.
MM should get a previously undocumented type of aggressive ass cancer and die on national tv.
@33/50 Donny, you’re out of your element
Why does every MM post on the internet draw the Kos Kids like flies to shit?
When is Moore going to have a grabber and leave the world a better place?
Did you know that turtles can breathe out of their butts?
Did you know that turtles can breathe out of their butts?
@56 – Doubt he can reach it.
@64
Oh I can reach it, I just can’t see it. If this site doesnt stop harassing me I’m going to 262 Mott Street and I’m gonna just eat the whole building, because I’m too lazy to actually figure out which office is DB Central.
@66 haha, that was pretty good.
@33/50- Traders don’t bankrupt your family; *I* bankrupt your family. Don’t ever tell me what I can and can’t do.

You guys don’t get it, do you? Michael Moore is, and has always been, Sacha Baron Cohen in a latex fatty suit. You’ve all been punked.
# 70 – Excellent comment
@67 You’re delusional, see a professional, but later……Now throw some more fries in the Fryolater!!!!
@70:
Fries, did somebody say “fries”?

@33
This blog is written by people in finance for people in finance, take your comments back to CNN you liberal idiot
@72 working in finance and being liberal are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
@33 wtf are YOU talking about? Bess is as entertaining as my grandpa’s nutsack, which, let me tell you, isn’t all that. It’s like Mackenzies Phillips, minus the dad fucking. No wait, it’s the same….
@74 and the reason you come to this site then is what, exactly?
@73 if there is a way to support business and free markets while being a socialist, I have yet to find it
@73 again, you’re an idiot. socialist and liberal are not the same thing.
@73
you can be liberal but if you work in IB you know that #33 is just flat out wrong. Borrowers were just as much at fault as banks, for not knowing their limits, and being too stupid to understand the loans they took.
That said to all of you bagging on #33/50… you tools just got trolled by someone who’s probably a Yahoo! Finance guru.
@73:
True that. Vast amounts of money can be made by capitalizing on complex government regulations and stifling bureaucracies. Hell, we can trade CO2 offsets for fun and profit! Or, if we happen to be of the legal persuasion, we can bill by the hour, and then offer nonbinding opinions!
@69
Ahhhh it’s good to be 69!
Michael Moore eats his young!
How did @69 comment on @70? Methinks the editorial staff have too thin a skin. What was deleted? Inquiring minds would like to know.
@82: blonde?
@74. Are you kidding? you don’t think Bess is entertaining? you obviously haven’t seen her video with the other two fatass chicks. god I almost cried (mostly because I was holding back the spew)The only part i didnt like was that she didnt actually swallow the feces
@83 I think it is
@83
I am, but that is irrelevant to the question. A post is definitely missing (see @69 and @66) The original @66 post disappeared.
Where is my tinfoil?
@Tax Chick
Its in my hair, I am frosting my lucious locks as I type this.
-C. Willard
I think Tax Chicky may be onto something even though I still think she’s a dude.
@84 don’t hold your loads in, you’ll hurt yourself. nothing brightens my day more than watching Bess choke a turd, and when that load comes, oh baby!, it’s all over the Wall Street Journal.
Now that’s black, white, and red all over!
@Tax Chick. I think its just a thread joker.
Check this out:
Awesome comment @90 suprised it didnt get removed!
I’d like to be in a Bess Levin, Michael Moore sex sandwich… mmmmm…. sandwich.
Jesus would slap the shit out of him.
It’s a fact–look it up.
Oh, MM and Bess Levin. Then JC would give her the Dirty Sanchez.
. . .and I thought that “Lehman being devoured” article was about Mikey!
To the DUMBASSES who claim MM can’t do math:
1% of the POPULATION owning 95% of the WEALTH means
99% of the POPULATION makes do on the remaining 5% of the wealth.
You asses must work for the Bond rating agencies if you can’t figure this out.
And yes, I live in Canada, and after our free trade agreement with China and the EU takes effect, you won’t be making all those jokes about us anymore.
@78 If you are lending money to someone who is clearly too stupid to understand the risk they are taking on, doesn’t that make you stupid too? If I lend money to Eliot Spitzer and he defaults, legally the fault is with him, but surely I share some of the blame for turning a blind eye to the fact that he was just going to blow the money on prosties.
I came to this site for investment adice and I see this? Wow. You guys are like freaking sailors around here? Those no account crude cussing degenerates that play on the freaking water all day- Getting fucking high on the noiseless “speed” they aquire by adjusting the fucking sails all day! I came here expecting something a little more refined. You guys are just a bunch gutter mouths who dont know shit about finance. What the hell
E-man
who the frig is greg?
@95
nah. Who honestly cares when the government/tax payers are picking up the tab for any defaults anyway?
MM is a fat liberal faggot.
Mike might want to brush up on his Jesus back story. After all, who taught:
Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, saying, ‘This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.’
This sounds more like Adam Smith than Karl Marx.
