MRC/NB's Bozell on Hannity & Colmes About Michael Moore's 'Sicko'


Brent Bozell, President of the Media Research Center which publishes NewsBusters, appeared live Thursday night on FNC's Hannity & Colmes to discuss Michael Moore's latest far-left documentary, Sicko. IMDb describes it as “a comedy about 45 million people with no health care in the richest country on earth.” Sean Hannity pointed out how the New York Times called it “a virtual love letter to Hillary Clinton” and how in it Moore takes workers sick from the 9/11 site to Cuba to get better health care.

Bozell characterized Moore as “Dennis Kucinich-crazy” and recalled how “Michael Moore said in 2003 that the Saudi Arabian royal family was hiding bin Laden in Saudi Arabia and the Bush administration knew where he was.” Indeed, that comment from Moore to HBO's Bob Costas was a runner-up in the “The I’m Not a Geopolitical Genius But I Play One on TV Award” category at the MRC's 2004 DisHonors Awards (posted with a streaming Real clip and transcript).

Well now we have it right from Colmes; Moores new movie should NOT be called a documentary.

Have you ever read of his stuff? He has something called 'Stardust' (I think it was called)... the guy is a LOON!

As mayor of Cleveland, didn't Dennis the menace come close to bankrupting this fine American city? 

I believe you're right--but o

I believe you're right--but on the other hand, the explosion and prosperity of nearby communities (Independence) and others began too.  Now there are better and safer areas for business and homes. 

Dennis is a joke who never learns.  These libs somehow missed the economics coursework in college.

Liberalism is a convenient lie.

Dennis Kucinich

Dennis Kucinich kind of disappeared when he got his taller than he trophy British redhead young thing wife.

 I was sitting here thinking as I watched probably an hour of youtube clips with her and Dennis, ' What if she is an MI6 Brit spy, and Dennis is showing her the inner workings of it all. '  She went to their famous spy recruit college, and is from an aristocratic family. They probably want to keep an eye on the loopey commie left wackos of America that are sure to stab them in the back very soon over Iraq. LOL -Man that would not surprise me one bit.

Bozell on H & C

Brent is a gentleman.  He held his tongue when Colmes made the smart a** comment at the end with no time to respond.  Colmes told Brent to make his own conservative movie.  I loved the look Brent gave him as they ended the interview.  By making that comment he is saying, if your not going to praise Moore go make your own movie.  Nice adult way to end a discussion.

colmes is paid to make it balance

Naturally, Colmes wouldn't be doing his assigned task if he didn't provide snark; it's Fair and Balanced, at FoxNews.

Brent Bozell goes a long ways to upholding conservatism here and on TV, he's really distinguished himself of late. --Keep it up, Big Red ! And, BTW;

I was truly sorry to read of Bill Buckley's adorable wife passing away. Undoubtedly he's taking it very hard. Please communicate for us all our deepest sympathy. I consider WFB the single most impressive conservative intellectual of our times. And you know um not alone.
