http://www.drudgereport.com/flash6.htm<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Dear Senator Thompson,Given that it has been publicly reported in The Weekly Standard, a leading neo-conservative publication, that you support Fidel Castro and the Cuban regime by being a purveyor of fine Cuban exports despite the trade embargo, I was surprised to see your recent op ed in a more traditional conservative outlet, The National Review, regarding my trip to Cuba (I suspect you choose The National Review in an effort to pander to an outlet that had criticized you for your opposition to medical malpractice legislation).In your May 2, 2007 National Review article, "Paradise Island," you specifically raised concerns about whether my trip to Cuba with 9/11 heroes, who have suffered serious health problems as a result of their exposure to toxic substances at Ground Zero that have gone untreated was somehow going to support Castro ad the Cuban government:</div><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Our debate would provide you an opportunity to appeal to the right wing of the Republican Party by continuing to attack me; it would give me a chance to discuss health care and tell you exactly what happened in Cuba, given your apparent inters; and it would provide the American people an opportunity to see just how serious Hollywood can be, with a purported conservative and an avowed progressive Hollywood personality on stage.Over the course of the debate, we could specifically address the following issues1) Your work as a lobbyist in light of the fact that the health care and insurance industries have maintained the current health care system through their effective control of the political establishment.(2) The fact that you raised hundred of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from the health care and insurance industries.(3) Discuss the fact, highlighted in yet another conservative outlet The New York Sun, that you inexplicably wanted to cut funding for AIDS research. [http://www.nysunpolitics.com/blog/2007/05/thompsons-1994-issue-positions.html](4) Your relationship with the Frist family and by extension HCA, one of the nation's largest for-profit hospital chains. It has been reported that former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (who was renowned for his over-the-television-screen Schiavo diagnosis) is serving as one of your confidantes on your potential presidential campaign. The Frist family has historically controlled HCA, which paid a record $1.7 billion in civil and criminal fines, including a $631 million penalty for Medicaid fraud -- in other words, ripping off the taxpayers.(5) Discussing whether Arthur Branch, as the District Attorney of Manhattan, supports a woman's right to choose, gun safety reforms, gay marriage, the trans fat ban and anti-smoking laws (which would impact Cuban cigars, including your Montecristos).Like American Idol, we could even have the country vote to determine which one of us wins the debate. Though in the spirit of full disclosure, I feel obligated to forewarn you that I was the winner of the 1971-72 Detroit Free Press Debate Award for the state of Michigan.The winner of our health care debate could even light a Victory cigar with one of your Montecristos (though we may want to consider shopping them to the safe house where I have put a master copy of SiCKO in the event that the Bush Administration tries to seize the film).Sincerely,Michael Moore</div>Thompson's response-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds_GhRxivOIWho would win? Thompson in 5.
I am totally uninformed about this whole situation but still, why the hell would a senator ever debate this fat lard?
Michael Moore needs to watch it, he might go down 0-2 if he loses another after this terrible defeat:Invalid Video Link
Wow, Michael Moore pulling a Bill O'Reilly. What I mean by this is, he makes an issue with someone in politics, and automaticly he assumes that person has to be on his show, and he acts like that person has nothing better to do but go on a show and confront the loser that called him out on something. Why should Thompson waste his time with some fat/liar neanderthal who should be deported for his manipulative/piss poor movies.

Why does Moore feel he is even important in American politics in the first place? He's nothing but a little fat lying socialist who wants to take away peoples constitutional rights. How does Michael Moore even find time to do anything, I would think with has fat as he is that he'd just be eating constantly.
