Hello All!

This is from a editor review of the book

Do as I say, not as I do  by Peter Schweiser


"I don't own a single share of stock," Michael Moore declares. No, his tax
returns show he has owned hundreds of thousands -- profiting from some of the
very companies (like Halliburton and Boeing) he viciously denounces

How Moore's working-class, "regular guy" pose is contradicted by his lavish
lifestyle and prima donna behavior -- such as traveling the country in a
private jet accompanied by a fleet of private SUVs and bodyguards

Moore also relentlessly exposes those who fail to meet his standards of racial
fairness and equality. So, of the 134 producers, editors, cinematographers,
composers, and production coordinators Moore he hired to work on his many
movies, how many do you think were black?

The Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel: ultra-left class warrior, defender of
the inheritance tax -- and trust-fund heiress who fought the IRS all the way to
the Supreme Court to avoid paying $2 million in estate taxes

Princeton "ethics" professor Peter Singer crusades for euthanasia for the
severely disabled and terminally ill. But when it comes to his own mother, he
operates according to more humane principles (fortunately for her)

During the 2004 campaign, John Kerry complained that the "super-rich" don't pay
their fair share in taxes. Care to guess what percentage of their income Kerry
and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry -- who are worth over $700 million -- are
paying in taxes?

Noam Chomsky opposes private property and calls the Pentagon "the most vile
institution on the face of the earth" -- yet he has made millions in contract
work for the Pentagon, owns two luxurious homes, and set up an irrevocable
trust to protect his assets from Uncle Sam

Ted Kennedy favors racial set-asides on federal contracts -- but when it came
to his own investment in an entire city block of Washington, DC, he got his
political friends to help him waive an affirmative action set-aside

Another of Kennedy's great causes has been support of the estate or inheritance
tax. But, he has repeatedly benefited from an intricate web of trusts and
private foundations that have kept most of the family pie from ever ending up
in the hands of the IRS

Kennedy has introduced dozens of pieces of legislation over the years to
encourage alternative energy sources. But he helped block the Cape Wind Project
-- an effort to provide clean energy for thousands of homes on Cape Cod --
because the project would be built in one of the family's favorite sailing and
yachting areas

Al Franken habitually calls conservatives "liars" and "mean and nasty" -- yet
as a writer for Saturday Night Live he penned jokes and skits so mean-spirited
they appalled even his colleagues, and he uses brazen lies for his bestselling
books all the time

Hillary Clinton supports the right of thirteen-year-old girls to have abortions
without parental consent -- yet she forbade thirteen-year-old Chelsea to pierce
her ears and enrolled her in a school that would not distribute condoms to
minors

How Hillary, despite her pose as independent feminist and anti-corporate
crusader, used her husband's position as Arkansas Attorney General to launch
her corporate law career - then rode his political coattails into politics

Ralph Nader: how he speculates in the stocks of companies that might be
influenced by his political activism. How he conceals enormous wealth and a
lavish lifestyle behind a façade of pretended frugality

Nancy Pelosi has made supporting labor unions a cornerstone of her public
career. Yet the vineyards and hotels that comprise her $35 million fortune have
one thing in common: they don't use union labor

Barbra Streisand: how, on the three causes with which she seems most concerned
-- poverty, environmentalism and feminism -- she engages in the very behaviors
she says she deplores
