Sorry-don't really see how this is a "cheap shot". Rather than post a lengthy list of all the major media fat-ass, drug addicted, hypocritical blowhards conservative commentators, I simply used the name of the most famous one to illustrate how, as I wrote above, they're using the 37/39 'controversy' to try to deemphasize the points Moore is making in this movie. You can supplant Rush's name with any other of your choosing, but the fact remains-it's not only no controversy, it's not even true.

"Who can't even differentiate a few sidebar remarks from actually "reviewing a film"?

Though you didn't call out in your subject header that you were 'reviewing' Sicko, you used the thread of a review, (mistaken) statements from the film, and other's comments about previous Moore films to add emphasis to the (very dramatic, by the way) Big Finish concerning the veracity of the film Sicko. For me, that's close enough, on this little blogosphere, to call it a review. Your definition may differ, but the point remains-see the actual movie before commenting. Then, at least, your words will have the weight of true criticism, as opposed to the knee-jerk, don't-have-to-see-it-cause-I've-heard-about-it bombast of, say, the Christian Coalition.

And btw, I'd love to have credit for any documentary film, even if it (only) received a 'C' from the 'Globe. Nice work Elliot.
