Michael Moore no Role Model

DAVISON, Mich - Oscar on the shelf or not, Michael Moore is not getting much respect at his old high school. Despite his fame and many honors, the filmmaker has been rejected all four times that he has been nominated for Davison High School's Hall of Fame.

"Would you want him as a role model? Would you want your son or daughter to be like him?" asked Don Hammond, a member of the Hall of Fame selection committee. "I haven't talked to anybody yet who's for him. The word to describe Michael Moore is embarrassing. He embarrasses everybody."

I have newfound respect for Davison High School and would have to surmise Michael Moore was raised better than he demonstrates.

There are some who disagree with the selection committee and are campaigning on Moore's behalf - the outcome could be interesting. How Moore's hometown respond?
