Very interesting to read Michael Moore's tirade against Bush's 2000 election at the end of his term in office.
While primarily an anti-bush book Gore and Clinton cop a good spray too for their time in office.
Worth the time to read and easy for anyone to make it though. ( )

I'm not really much of a fan of Moore's documentaries, which always feel too manipulative for me. But he is a funny writer.  ( )

If you want to know why large portions of the human race including my good self disapprove of America's government and corporates then read this book. Just like everything I have seen and read from Moore you are sure to go away angry.
This is especially true for me as many of the ugly neo liberal policies being perpetrated in the US are slowly slithering into the politics of other countries including Australia and New Zealand where I currently reside. Privitised medical, undermined workers rights and parasitical banks are a plague we all have to watch out for. Aided and abetted of course by stupid white men (and women) out for a quick buck at everyone elses expense. Like Moore or hate him he makes his point and makes it well. ( )

Fully agree with what he is saying but reading it feels rather like being shouted at. Inevitably becoming a bit dated now that the reign of Bush is mercifully over but much still remains sadly true about the remaining stupid white men. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060392452, Hardcover)

Stupid White Men, Michael Moore's screed against "Thief-in-Chief" George Bush's power elite, hit No. 1 at Amazon.com within days of publication. Why? It's as fulminating and crammed with infuriating facts as any right-wing bestseller, as irreverent as The Onion, and as noisily entertaining as a wrestling smackdown. Moore offers a more interesting critique of the 2000 election than Ralph Nader's Crashing the Party (he argued with Nader, his old boss, who sacked him), and he's serious when he advocates ousting Bush. But Moore's rage is outrageous, couched in shameless gags and madcap comedy: "Old white men wielding martinis and wearing dickies have occupied our nation's capital.... Launch the SCUD missiles! Bring us the head of Antonin Scalia!... We are no longer [able] to hold free and fair elections. We need U.N. observers, U.N. troops." Moore's ideas range from on-the-money (Arafat should beat Sharon with Gandhi's nonviolent shame tactics) to over-the-top: blacks should put inflatable white dolls in their cars so racist cops will think they're chauffeurs; the ever-more-Republicanesque Democratic Party should be sued for fraud; "no contributions toward advancing our civilization ever came out of the South [except Faulkner, Hellman, and R.J. Reynolds]," because it's too hot to think straight there; Korean dictator Kim Jong-il "has got to broaden himself beyond porn and John Wayne" by watching better movies, like Dude, Where's My Car? (which contains "all you need to know about America"). Whatever your politics, Stupid White Men should make you blow your stack. --Tim Appelo
