An unfortunate way of putting it

Michael Moore has become closely identified with the phrase 'Stupid White Men' in the minds of the general public. -- HarperCollins, in a legal demand to the tiny company publishing "How to Get Stupid White Men Out of Office"


I'm a fan of his stuff, but I think that's hilarious (and probably true). Too bad they had to put it that way. As the NYT article says:

Mr. Moore - whose current best seller, "Dude, Where's My Country?" does some borrowing of its own from the movie "Dude, Where's My Car," - says he does not object to the latest iteration of "Stupid White Men," as long as there is no confusion about who wrote it.
