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 UN observers, UN troops". Moore`s ideas range from on-the-money (Arafat should beat Sharon with Gandhi`s non-violent 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 RJ 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.
