The Cost Of Being Mikey

Heh. This is pretty good.

LITTLE ROCK (AP)-The producer of Michael Moore's documentary on the nation's health-care system "Sicko," suggests that Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's criticism of the filmmaker may be motivated more by his need for campaign funds than his concerns for America's health.

The former Arkansas governor told reporteers in a conference call Wednesday that he hasn't seen and probably won't see Moore's documentary "Sicko," which calls for an overhaul of America's health care system.

"Frankly, Michael Moore is an example of why the health care system costs so much in this country. He clearly is one of the reasons that we have a very expensive system. I know that from my own personal expeience," said Huckabee, who lost more than 110 pounds and became an avid runner after he was diagnosed with diabetes.

Frankly, I don't see Mikey learning to take care of himself any time soon. The only running he's ever done is to the buffet table for more fried chicken.
