In case you didn't know this about the champion of the working man and the downtrodden:

MICHAEL MOORE,
friend of the workingman and the triple Whopper, has fled Britain after abusing lowly-paid theatre staff:



American satirist Michael Moore has stormed out of Britain after a bust up with the London theatre hosting his one-man show. The Bowling For Columbine moviemaker performed Michael Moore - Live! to packed audiences for two months before Christmas at The Roundhouse in Camden, North London.



Moore plays to a packed house even if nobody is in the audience.



But on the penultimate night he reportedly flew into a rage, verbally attacked everyone associated with the theatre because he thought he wasn't being paid enough. During the performance he complained he was making just $750 a night.



Why, that's less than $4000 per week! How's a simple guy from Flint meant to survive?



A member of the stage crew says, "He completely lost the plot. He stormed around all day screaming at everyone, even the £5-an-hour bar staff, telling them how we were all conmen and useless. Then he went on stage and did it in public."



I need that crew member for my upcoming documentary about Michael Moore, which will examine Michael Moore using Michael Moore's documentary-making techniques. Call me, crew man!



Staff retaliated by refusing to work the following night, which led to the show being held up for an hour. Eventually he made a groveling apology to staff and the angry audience finally took to their seats.

Yeah, I heard of this a while back.

Seems like Mr. anti-elite is really showing his true colors.

That piece of shits watch reads 15:01, he's a minute over his time in the spotlight.

If your a Liberal, and you get Liberal Britain mad at you, and you must really be a loser.

I'm sure $4000 a week wouldn't cover his tab at mickie D's.

Yeah, but I thought I'd bring it back up.  Lest we forget.  And to inform people who may not know what a hypocritical douche fatass is.
