After making millions of dollars off other people's suffering, Michael Moore has seemed to also mastered the subtle art of lying. Author Peter Schweizer's new book Do As I Say (Not As I Do) claims Michael Moore owns shares of Halliburton stock (one of the main recipient of attacks in Moore's "documentary" Fahrenheit 9/11).
Michael Moore shoots back with "I think people find that stuff funny "Michael Moore owns Halliburton stock," said Moore in the Nov. 23 Mott College speech carried by C-SPAN. "That's like a great comedy line. I know it's not true. I've never owned a share of stock in my life -- anything."
According to Peter Schweizer, Michael Moore is right. He doesn't own a single share of stock in my life...he owns thousands of shares. And technically Mr. Moore doesn't personally own the stock, it is controlled by his non-profit organization in which only him and his wife are officers.
"Frankly, I find it disgusting that people can take speeches and video out of context then present those speeches and video in a completely different manner, thus greatly altering the original meaning," Moore said while working on his new film about Hurricane Katrina. "It is a distortion of the truth and my opponents know it."
Moore took opportunity to further plug his new "documentary" about Hurricane Katrina. "This film completes a personal trilogy for me on exploiting human suffering and profiting from it. First there was Columbine, then 9/11, and now New Orleans. Put quite simply, if there is sensational death in the world, I will be there to making money on it."
"Oh yeah, and it is Bush's fault..."

Sadly this is only the begining of his "do as I say, not as I do" mentality.
