Bloggers Matthew Yglesias and John Hawkins Prove Politics Is Broken
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyPolitical bloggers have the job of reporting on -- and analyzing -- politics, but they are also becoming a sad reflection of our bitter and broken political system. On Friday, two blog stories came to light that serve to illustrate the decline of domestic political bonhomie. To be sure, we will not be talking about either of these stories a month from now. Still, they provide a snapshot of the current state of political discourse. On the conservative side, RightWingNews' John Hawkins asked several conservative bloggers to help compile a list of "The 25 Worst Figures in American History." ...

Michael Moore Film Blames the Rich for Economic Crisis
By David Knowles - Politics DailyControversial filmmaker Michael Moore is set to release his latest movie this coming October. Though the film does not yet have an official title, it is an examination of the factors that have lead to our current global economic downturn. Judging from Moore's description of the picture, one possible title might be, "Blame the Rich." Here's Moore: "The wealthy, at some point, decided they didn't have enough wealth," the statement quoted Moore as saying. "They wanted more--a lot more. So they systematically set about to fleece the American people out of their hard-earned money. Now why would ...
Michael Moore Collects Intel, Bird Poo, on Capitol Hill
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyLast month, Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore announced that his next film will target Wall Street, and that he was looking for a few good whistleblowers. This week, he was on Capitol Hill looking to nail down some quotes from lawkmakers. In the process, he found not stool pigeons, but rather pigeon...well, you get it.

"All the usual suspects have dodged us, but I'm moving a little faster these days so we ...

You have information that the American people need to hear. I am humbly asking you for a moment of courage, to ...

Michael Moore: 6 Steps to an Obama Defeat
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyFahrenheit 9/11 filmmaker Michael Moore has written an article in Rolling Stone in which he lays out all of the ways in which Barack Obama and the Democrats can lose this election. Some bullet points:1. Keep saying nice things about McCain. If you want to help elect McCain, keep blessing him as if he were the white knight who accidentally hopped on the wrong horse.2. Pick a running mate who is a conservative white guy or a general or a Republican.Just so long as Obama's running mate screams "same old, same old," making it harder for him to attract the new voters he needs to win.3. Keep writing ...
Michael Moore Wants Your Vote
By Faye Anderson - Politics DailyMichael Moore wants you. While Hillary Clinton fights to have the Michigan delegation seated at the Democratic convention, the pugilistic filmmaker wants to have his voice heard in Pennsylvania:I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted. So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote -- and yours -- on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama? I haven't spoken publicly 'til now as to who I would vote for, primarily for ...
Moore Dumps on Clinton
By Greg McNeilly - Politics DailyFilmmaker Michael Moore stopped short of endorsing a candidate but had some very sharp criticism of Hillary Clinton. And in typical Moore fashion, he doesn't hold back, even when he's parsing. He writes to his followers an Internet message that states:I am sad to say, nothing has disappointed me more than the disastrous, premeditated vote by Senator Hillary Clinton to send us to war in Iraq. I'm not only talking about her first vote that gave Mr. Bush his "authorization" to invade -- I'm talking about every single OTHER vote she then cast for the next four years, backing and funding Bush's ...
