Fat filmmaker Michael Moore just ponied up $20,000 to help spring Wikileaks spokeshole Julian Assange from his English jail cell. Far as we can tell, the only thing keeping this story from being a perfect left wing trifecta is the absence of the Daily Kos.
Oh, wait, we spoke too soon. Michael Moore just took to the pages of the Daily Kos to explain his actions:
Yesterday, in the Westminster Magistrates Court in London, the lawyers for WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange presented to the judge a document from me stating that I have put up $20,000 of my own money to help bail Mr. Assange out of jail.
Furthermore, I am publicly offering the assistance of my website, my servers, my domain names and anything else I can do to keep WikiLeaks alive and thriving as it continues its work to expose the crimes that were concocted in secret and carried out in our name and with our tax dollars.
We were taken to war in Iraq on a lie. Hundreds of thousands are now dead. Just imagine if the men who planned this war crime back in 2002 had had a WikiLeaks to deal with. They might not have been able to pull it off. The only reason they thought they could get away with it was because they had a guaranteed cloak of secrecy. That guarantee has now been ripped from them, and I hope they are never able to operate in secret again.
So why is WikiLeaks, after performing such an important public service, under such vicious attack? Because they have outed and embarrassed those who have covered up the truth. The assault on them has been over the top.
Now if only Hugo Chavez can be worked into this story somehow, our lives will be complete.

I don't understand what MM is gloating about. It seems to me that the latest whack of leaked diplomatic records is actually a slap in the face of the Left.
Here are all these morally and intellectually superior diplomatic types, the same ones who sneer at the rest of us mere mortals for not having enough brain cells to comprehend the vital work they do. After all, if not for them, the hawks would have destroyed the world by now!
And now we come to find out that these smugly superior diplomatic types are nothing more than bags of hot air, calling each other names and hurtling insults like kindergartners.
Disgusting.
"We were taken to war in Iraq on a lie."

Or has this double plus ungood story all ready been put down the memory hole by Amsoc ?
I'm waiting to see Assange pull an OJ. Maybe Moore can drive the Bronco?
Can you find a 3XL sized Bronco these days?
Can I have Michael Moore's weight in gold?
I don't think there's enough gold in the entire world for that.
Well at least that is not $20 K that would have ended up on his ass and gut.
I have no respect for Michael Moore at all and I am not surprised by anything he does nor says.
Is this the same Michael Moore that was saddened that the 9/11 attacks didn't kill more Republicans? Yes, it is. Is this the same Michael Moore who called the IED bombers in Iraq "freeeom fighters:? Yes it is. Is this the same Michael Moore who has said the Americans are stupid people? Yes, it is. So why should be surprised by this morbidly obese leftist's latest act of hatred for America?
What the article failed to reveal was the fact that Moore's attempts to bail out Charles Manson, Jeffrey Damer and other 'heroes' failed miserably. Moore needs to grow a brain.
Why would it surprise anyone that this slob has to buy friends?
Michael Moore. Poster boy for the left. They must be so proud.
MY EYES! THEY BURN!
