***UPDATE 10:10 pm: Some commenters are doubting if that’s really Michael Moore. Everyone in my email in-box and Twitter account thinks so. It’s true there’s no way to tell other than to take the YouTube uploaders’ word for it. After viewing the exchange for a few minutes I bought it. But you wouldn’t be able to knock me over with a feather if that wasn’t the newest member of the Academy’s Board of Governors.

Little something from the late 1970s, which means Moore is somewhere in his early to mid-twenties. At first you won’t believe that’s him, but hang in there. He’s much younger and thinner (weren’t we all), so you have too look and watch closely. After a while, the eyes, gestures, double talk, appeals to emotionalism and complete inability to understand or respect logic and facts will start to look familiar.
The debate is an interesting time capsule of a time when the Left pretended to be worried about auto safety. Today Moore and his liberal friends want us all driving one of these deathtraps down the freeway amongst semi-trucks and all the big limos transporting environmentalists like Al Gore to Earth Day ceremonies.
We’ll take the Ford Pinto with or without the $13 gizmo any day.
