Michael Moore, the writer/director behind such polemical films as Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine, has suggested that the actor Meryl Streep run for president on a Democrat ticket. Having been asked whether any of the strong female role models shown in his new film, Where to Invade Next ? which presents progressive European societies as alternatives to contemporary America ? put him in mind of candidate Hillary Clinton, Moore declined to comment directly.
