Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
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
From AudioFile
As the Left's most visible rabble-rouser, author-filmmaker Michael Moore needs no introduction. Mercilessly taking to task the killjoys of the Far Right for a variety of reasons--from their lowering of educational standards to their botched job of "airport security"--STUPID WHITE MEN is packed with vitriol. The idea of having TV legend Arte Johnson narrate it was a stroke of brilliance. Having earned his wings on the controversial and ground-breaking "Laugh In," Johnson is, in a weird way, a kind of predecessor to the social commentary Moore excels at. Johnson gets it, a fact undoubtedly not lost on Moore. Johnson's voice is familiar and reassuring. This is not surprising since he's narrated over 100 audiobooks.
