Michael Medved is an idiot

I love it when the clown police pile out of the little clown car and pile onto the deserving: "Michael Medved is an idiot. Yes, I know what you're thinking: "Tell me something... I don't already know." But some things can't be reiterated enough. Such as: Michael Medved is an idiot. He has a wet sock for brain. A thumbless grasp of the issues and a propensity for lachrymose whimpering when he doesn't get his way... [In today's Wall Street Journal] "he blinks like a mole with minor astonishment that the fuss over Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby has "improbably and irrationally focused on...me." Medved being such a shy maiden and all... Medved, of course, has been in the whining vanguard of the moral conservative campaign against [it], deploring what he calls its "sympathetic treatment of [DELETED].' The movie is much more sophisticated than that, too sophisticated for Medved's reductive, nursery-lesson mind. The movie tells a story, the story deepens and darkens, and the dilemma the characters face is dramatized as a wrenching quandary, a mortal decision; like most tragic stories, it carries the pall of the irrevocable. [But] according to Box Office Mojo, 72% of those who saw Million Dollar Baby graded it an A. Of those who saw Aviator, only 54% gave it an A. The People have spoken, Medved. They find Million Dollar Baby guilty of being excellent. So quit pretending that Hollywood is "out of touch" with the audience, when it is you and your mustache who no speaka their language."
