I confess to being a fan of Michael Moore. My respect goes all the way back to 1989, when he was an impoverished filmmaker in Flint, Michigan (his first documentary was the seminal "Roger and Me"), and has continued through his more recent films, through his books (two of which I've read), his TV show, all the way up to the present day, which finds him a multi-millionaire and elder statesman of the counter-culture.
Pretty much everything about Moore appeals to me. I like his left-wing ideology, his style, his wit, his playfulness, his courage, his persistence, and his hats. I even like the fact that he has struggled with a life-long weight problem. My kind of guy.
