Who says the left wing doesn't have a sense of humor? Maybe it doesn't, but documentarian Michael Moore sure does--Exhibit A was Roger & Me; B was the ill-fated TV Nation; and C is 1997's print skirmish Downsize This! Moore's politics are rabidly liberal, populist, and anti-big business--about what you'd expect from the former editor of Mother Jones. While this restricts his audience to Americans on the left side of the aisle, for them Downsize This! will be a chance to point and laugh hysterically (if ruefully) at the clique of rich white guys who run everything.
Moore is at his best as a prankster, whether it's trying to see if Pat Buchanan will take a campaign donation from the John Wayne Gacy Fan Club (yes) or whether he can have Bob Dornan committed to an insane asylum based on his bizarre behavior (no, but it was close). Moore is one of our sharpest satirists, and Downsize This! makes one wish he would write a "Sorry State of the Union" every year. But only if it doesn't cut into his moviemaking--that's too big a price to pay.
Book Description
"Michael Moore is a hybrid of two Ralphs -- Kramden and Nader -- and he is blessed with brilliant comic timing" -- Time
From the creator of the most popular documentary film of all time, Roger & Me, and the award-winning television series TV Nation, comes the AudioBook for our nation's largest political force -- the 100 million Americans who refuse to vote!
Nothing but the truth is sacred in Downsize This!, Michael Moore's hilarious screed on the state of America. With the same in-your-face tenacity that has made him everyman's hero, Moore gets under the skin of corporate giants, politicians, and the media -- anyone who has made life tougher for the millions of Americans who have head enough. Moore brings his wit and working-class voice to an American public desperate to save what's left of their American dream. His take-no-prisoners attitude is brutally funny, insightful, irrepressible. Whether he's lusting after the First Lady in "My Forbidden Love for Hillary Clinton" or sending campaign contributions to Pat Buchanan from the John Wayne Gacey Fan Club, conducting a Rodney King Commemorative Riot or encouraging Congress to take advantage of NAFTA by moving themselves to Tijuana, Michael Moore has the unique gift for making you think and laugh at the same time. He reflects an irreverent intelligence and biting humor seldom heard in America today.
Synopsis
Featuring new material written for the paperback edition, a hilarious best-seller by the director of the acclaimed documentary Roger & Me rails against the squashing of the American worker by big business and government.
Synopsis
A scathing rebuttal to the "Newtification" of America, and hilarious proof of why Michael Moore is the unofficial champion of the largest political force in the nation--the 60 percent of voters who elect not to vote--Downsize This! gets under the skin of the corporations, politicians, and media moralists who have made life miserable for millions of Americans.
