Michael Moore Rips Wolf Blitzer a New One

Michael Moore was interviewed by Wolf Blitzer on The Situation Room after a three year absence to discuss his new movie, SICKO. Before being interviewed, Wolf presented a two minute "journalism" piece by Dr. Sanjay Gupta on the exaggerations in Moore's movie. There was only one problem: there are no exaggerations.
You'll see Moore standing by for his interview with a confused look on his face as Wolf introduces their crack journalism as "a reality check from our CNN chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta", as they try to discredit the facts and figures Moore uses in his film.

Unfortunately for Wolf, Moore was having none of it and proceeds to batter Wolf to a pulp, including wondering why Wolf isn't apologizing for trying to discredit FAHRENHEIT 9/11 three years earlier "because it turns out everything I said in Fahrenheit was true, everything that's come to happen... I took you in that film to Walter Reed hospital and it took three years before you or anyone else in the mainstream media would go to Walter Reed hospital to see what was happening to our troops... You're the ones who are fudging the facts. You fudge the facts to the American people now for I don't know how long - about this issue (health care), about the war and I'm just curious: When are you going to just stand there and apologize to the American people for not bringing the truth to them that isn't sponsored by some major corporation?... I will sit here for as long as it takes if you can do that for me!"

Of course in the bumper to Lou Dobbs, we see how idiotic Dobbs looks in trying to make a joke out of the whole thing and compares Moore to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Blitzer was too shell-shocked from Michael Moore's thrashing and only responded with a whimper of a chuckle.

A must watch video!

UPDATE: Here's Moore and Blitzer on Day Two, the promised taped interview continuing from the day before.
