Since it's been brought up again, I'd like to mention that I saw it recently. (Thanks Saur for posting the download link.) It wasn't really what I expected in many ways, but in some ways it was. Something very early in the film caught my attention:

MM: Mr. President, it's me, Michael Moore.
Mr. President: Go find some REAL work. (snicker)

MM sidebar: So I did.

The rest of the film went about like I thought it would, but I didn't expect some hurt feelings to play such a big part in developing the subject matter. All in all, not as bad as I was expecting it to be, but still short of the "documentary" mark and much too pointedly sarcastic to fit into the "satire" box. Not sure exactly what it was, but yeah it was entertaining.

Oh yeah, back to the topic. Citizens United had a pretty weak argument for having a point of view they disagreed with censored.

Well thank Mcain for making this type of speech even an issue, with his stupid "reform".
