Michael Moore Hugs a Republican

At least, I think he was a Republican. He certainly talked like one. And he had the matching t-shirt

Yesterday was the day of our big Question and Answer session with Michael Moore at George Washington University. The Q & A, held in conjunction with the GWU College Democrats had around 400 students and featured some great conversation, a little debate and even a little bi-partisan love.

Moore was in town to talk about his newest documentary, Capitalism: A Love Story. I moderated the hour-long discussion, but luckily had very little talking to do (better for everyone involved, I think) because we had so many students ask so many great questions. We discussed Michael's problems with our current financial system, the hypocrisy of Wall Street corporations asking for a tax-payer bailout, health care and the role of media in politics. Plus a lot lot more.

Granted, the show was a little more political than we tend to get on ThinkTalk. But every once in a while it's good to mix things up. And as the image shows, it wasn't all arch-liberal propaganda. I think we actually had a very good mix of students and covered a lot of sides of the economic debate. To whet your appetite a bit, I've included a short clip below of the event.

If that's not enough, don't worry, the entire interview will be available on ThinkTalk.com this Friday, October 2nd, which - not coincidentally - is the day that the film opens nationwide. Check back Friday (well, check back every day but Friday for Michael Moore) to see the full show.
