STUPID WHITE MEN

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.
