Is Michael Moore in "ill health?
The reason I ask is I was watching CSpan and they said they were asked to leave after 15 minutes (stop recording) because of Michael Moore's ill health... WTF!!!???

1. What happened there?
All of a sudden it was off and on comes this anti Moore guy? He seemed fine to me.

Have you taken a good look at the guy? He isn't exactly a poster boy for good health.

7. If he's got what I got,
then he feels like hell.

Somethings going around that is knocking New Yorkers on their butts. Don't know if it has spread to the rest of the country or not.

12. I've got it, too
Horrible. Suppose it's the flu? I've been sick for a week -- it's awful.

16. Funny you should mention it,
I've been under for 10 days, not really debilitating but a general malaise, yuk.

4. And then they had some guy who had written a book bashing Moore
on immediately after. That was bizarre. I thought I had heard that MM had pneumonia about a week or so ago.

5. I think he has pneumonia
Moore was on Bill Maher's show last week, live via satellite from some college rally. I think I remember him saying he has "walking pneumonia," bwhatever that it.

13. Bronchitis.
It's when your flu or cold settles into your lungs and bacteria take over when the virus dies off. The good news is that it can be cured with penicillin or other types of antibiotics. The bad news is that if you don't treat it, it can hang on for weeks. Although there is no fever involved, hence the walking part, it really can sap your strength. I get it everytime I have a cold or flu.

11. OK, I went to MM.com
He's recovering from bronchitis. Whew!

Walking Pnemonia is layman's term for viral pnemonia - I spent 10 days in the hospital with it - had to have a tube inserted in my lung to get out the fluid, not fun!

15. MM has done more for this country this year than anyone in office....or
any other way. He has traveled all over the country, while facing brutal criticism, spreading the word, getting out the vote. This guy deserves a medal.

Rest and recover Michael. You have done well.

17. I worry about his health but not from illness
I only hope he has good security - we don't need him "Wellstoned".
