Michael Moore paid the Medical Bills of his biggest critic

I like Michael Moore, this is pretty impressive.

For several years now, Jim Kenefick has been railing against the Oscar-winning director on Moorewatch.com. Recently, Kenefick wrote about the difficulty he was having paying his wife's medical bills. Fellow conservatives guided him toward a cheaper health insurer, but Kenefick said he still had trouble making payments.
"Someone e-mailed me and asked if an 'anonymous' benefactor could offer to pay my first year's premiums - $12,000," Kenefick wrote on his site.
He was skeptical when the check arrived. "I opened a whole new account at my bank, waited for it to clear, checked twice with bank personnel to make sure it wasn't a scam, and waited a full 60 days before spending the money. At that time, I started drawing on it and paying the monthly premiums until it was gone."
We can now confirm to Kenefick that his secret benefactor is none other than the dreaded, detestable, loathsome Michael Moore.
What conservative friends of Kenefick's were willing to do was give him some other options and say "pay the man."  YOYO - You're on your own - is the guiding principle there.  Not so for Moore.  And he didn't seek publicity for this donation - at least not yet (it may be in the movie).  The gossipers over at the NY Daily News independently confirmed that it was Moore.
