Along with Michael Moore, I think he should be grateful he lives in country that so richly rewards him for his criticism. Send him to Mexico for a year, and as soon as someone steals his Porsche, and he can't get a Starbucks he'll want back into the bad old US-of-A. I think he has an overblown sense of self-importance, and I still think he made an ass of himself yesterday on CNN.

I have trouble with opinions like this. What I'm getting is, in effect, since he lives in a place where he has the freedom to be satirical and express his political opinions in a way that makes fun of the current administration, he should be grateful for it and quit making fun of it. In essence, what I'm getting is that you're saying to people like them, "Be glad you have the freedom, now stop using it."
