Michael Moore on Gibbs’ ‘Professional Left’ Comment: ‘An Odd, Odd Lashing Out’

Preceding his highly anticipated Special Comment tonight (anticipated because, for once, it would address problems on the left), Keith Olbermann did his best to find the one person that, to him, identified the “professional left,” in order to get as close to an official comment as possible. That person was director Michael Moore, and while he wasn’t particularly angry at the Obama administration, he was confused by their actions.

“I don’t know if I’m professional left here,” Olbermann opened the segment, “but I’m sure as hell you are.” Moore, understandably, was humored by the title. “I’ve never heard the left heard to with the word ‘professional’ attached,” Moore joked, “I don’t know if I should take offense at that. It implies that we’re organized.”

As for Press Secretary Robert Gibbs‘s assertion that the “professional left” was now opposing President Obama, Moore called it an “odd, odd lashing out” and was grateful there wasn’t “an emergency slide nearby.” Then he got serious:

“What’s bothering them is that liberals and the left have been right from the beginning… [they enacted] more offshore oil drilling, they expanded the war in Afghanistan… everything then we’ve tried to push them to do has come back to bite them in a profound way.”

But, for the most part, Moore kept it light. After making his serious point, he hoped Gibbs wouldn’t write any fundraising letters (which he imagined would go something like “Dear biggest Obama supporters: you suck, send us money please”) and even gave a shoutout to, of all people, David Frum, agreeing with a point he once made that, while Republicans fear their base, Democrats hate it.

Critically acclaimed filmaker Michael Moore is one of the greatest heroes and patriots of the 20th century.

So of conservatives are going to hate him.

Didn’t he make a movie about Bush that they really really really didn’t appreicate and are still sore and seething about right now? Hmmmmmmmm.

Frankly I enjoyed Oliver Stone’s “W” more.

And of course Comedy’s Central’s “That’s My Bush” by Trey Stone and Matt Parker.

Ah, more in-fighting among the Left, as they await a drubbing in November. This will be happening more and more in the coming weeks. And (surprise!) it will be happening in public for all to see and savor. When the ship starts sinking, everyone wants to blame the other sailors. And the good ship Obama is definitely taking water at an alarming rate.

Obama is in a real bind. He has lost most of his support among moderates and independents, and now the far left extremists are angry because he didn’t push for enough big government. Remember, for guys like Michael Moore, the ideal government is somewhere out in Chavez-Castro land, so of course Obama can’t please them.

This schism probably would have happened under any circumstances, but the staggering level of incompetence of the current administration has no doubt aggravated the situation. By bungling so many things, from job creation to the oil spill, Obama comes across as if almost every aspect of this job is “above his pay level” — to borrow a familiar phrase.

Is it bad parenting if your parents are slow minded, in their own world, and verbally lash out at you when you?

You don’t have much of a handle on American politics, do you? Rigid ideological conformity is the hallmark of the right. Moderates, progressives and liberals appreciate the fact that the best Boeuf Bourguignon is simmered in the heat of lively discussion, showcased by the light of a thousand bright candles not a single dim lamp.

This morning’s refrain to the Administration from the PROFESSIONAL LEFT:

Where is the Love
You said was mine, all mine
‘Till the end of time,
Was it just a line?

Where is the Love?

*LOL* Nobody has ever anticipated a special comment — or anything at all, for that matter — from Keith Olbermann.

I know he can’t do much about being fat and ugly, but I keep wondering why he has to make so many stupid remarks.

do you always have to write these stoner/protest sign dealies at the end of your posts? it kinda makes me not want to read what you wrote, and i consider myself pretty liberal. maybe i’m just too professional or something, but that shit makes me cringe.

So moderates, liberals and progressives don’t spat, King? How about extreme far left ideologues such as yourself?

Is that why the hosts at MSNBC screen out opposing viewpoints so zealously? Don’t make me laugh with your idiotic comments, Mister Nursery Rhyme.
