Moore on Matthew's

One Good Move has some clips of Michael Moore's visit to Hardball.


Michael Moore - Chris Matthews

Chris Matthews interviews Michael Moore about his documentary Sicko and U.S.
Healthcare. Near the end of this segment Chris Matthews talks about Metformin a drug he uses as an example of the benefits of U.S. system. I wonder if he knew that,

Metformin, an oral antidiabetic drug marketed by Merck, has a long and eventful history. The breakthrough of metformin, a dimethylbiguanide, was made possible by Jean Sterne (1919-1997), a French physician and pharmacologist, in the mid-1950s. Twenty years earlier, scientists had already documented the blood sugar lowering effect of biguanides. Because of its unique mechanism of action and comparatively few and mild side effects, metformin is the only biguanide to have stood the test of time and continues to be a mainstay in the management of type 2 diabetes. Glucophage® (the Merck brand of metformin that literally means "glucose eater") was first launched in 1958 in France by Laboratoires Aron, a Suresnes (Paris)-based French company. . .

Way to be on top of the story and your own point. Guess that should stand in the way of some good old fashion flag waving.


Michael Moore - What Would Jesus Do?

Michael Moore: I think that any individual who is in this
country should be able to see a doctor if they're sick.
Brian Smith: Even if they're not a citizen?
Michael Moore: Well of course, they're a human being. I
mean what would Jesus do right?
Brian Smith: So what would keep . . .
Michael Moore: Do you think Jesus would ask to see your
citizenship papers?

It is fun to turn this on the Christian grandstanders. WWJD? I guess He would only ask that question when it was convient.
