Synopsis
Michael Moore has established himself as someone who just won't shut up, go away, or otherwise do what political and corporate fat cats would like him to do. He lifts the veil on the people who set themselves up as role models and exposes their vulnerable underbellies.

Review
Until now, Michael Moore has preferred to potshot at corporate America by means of film ("Roger & Me") and television ("TV Nation"). In Downsize This! he resorts to the printed page, and as usual, the results are acerbic and irresistibly amusing. Moore aims his broadsides at such deserving targets as Washington lobbyists, institutional racism, and a rogue's gallery of overcompensated CEOs. He also lets his hair down sufficiently to discuss "My Forbidden Love for Hillary Clinton," and to argue that O.J. Simpson was too stupid, rich, and unenterprising to be guilty. Righteous indignation is seldom this funny.
From the Inside Flap
A scathing rebuttal to the "Newtification" of America, and hilarious proof of why Michael Moore is the unofficial champion of the largest political force in the nation--the 60 percent of voters who elect not to vote--Downsize This! gets under the skin of the corporations, politicians, and media moralists who have made life miserable for millions of Americans. Line drawings & photos. Map. NPR sponsorship.
