Moore: Democrats are ‘going to get an ass-whoopin’ of biblical proportions’
Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore on Sunday railed on Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, predicting, “Democrats on Election Day 2010 are going to get an ass-whoopin’ of biblical proportions if things don’t change right now.”
In an open letter to the White House, Moore placed the blame for Democrats’ dismal electoral prospects in 2010 squarely on the shoulders of Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, recently a popular target for liberals dissatisfied with the White House’s handling of healthcare.
{mosads}While Moore praised the sitting chief of staff for long being a “no apologies,
take-no-prisoners fighting machine,” he ultimately said Emanuel had
“turned into a fighter — not of Republicans, but of the left.”
“Well, you and the Democrats have been in charge now for over a year and not one banking regulation has been reinstated. We don’t have universal health care. The war in Afghanistan has escalated. And tens of thousands of Americans continue to lose their jobs and be thrown out of their homes,” Moore wrote.
“You’re such a good guy, Mr. President,” Moore added. “Yet, you kept on saying you still believed in bipartisanship. Well, if you really want bipartisanship, just go ahead and let the Republicans win in November. Then you’ll get all the bipartisanship you want.”
Consequently, Moore later implored President Barack Obama to “replace Rahm with me.” He subsequently offered to serve as chief of staff for $1 a day, while living in the White House basement.
“Now, don’t get too giddy with excitement over my offer, because you and I are going to be up at 5 in the morning, 7 days a week and I am going to get you pumped up for battle every single day,” Moore continued.
Continued Moore: “Each morning you and I will do 100 jumping jacks and you will repeat after me: THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ELECTED ME, NOT THE REPUBLICANS, TO RUN THE COUNTRY! I AM IN CHARGE! I WILL ORDER ALL OBSTRUCTIONISTS OUTTA MY WAY! IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DON’T LIKE WHAT I’M DOING THEY CAN THROW MY ASS OUT IN 2012. IN THE MEANTIME, I CALL THE SHOTS ON THEIR BEHALF! NOW, CONGRESS, DROP AND GIVE ME 50!!”
