"Michael Moore tells the Answer Man: 'Could be. Warner Records wants to release the soundtrack. I told the lawyers if he wants his fee, we should give it to him.'"

Great. Then, Ashcroft can donate the money to a conservative cause (pro-life for example). Guaranteed to give fatboy heartburn for quite some time.

It is assumed that a director distinguished enough to head the Cannes jury is above such conflicts.

Ego, one would also assume that a politician distiguished enough to head the most powerful country in the world would be above such conflicts as well.

One doesn't have to look far back in history to see the idiocy of this statement.

Moore said he made the movie to get the anti-Bush vote out. But is this not the sort of thing that CFR was supposed to stop by keeping soft big-money from over-empowering elected officials so they would be honest? Would not the Democrats be beholding to Mr. Morre if this movie works.

And if this movie is not an abuse of CFR laws then why doesn't the RNC run commercials right up till Election Day describing them as mini-documentaries on the subject of exposing Kerry as an enemy to freedom.

Even Ebert knows that Moore is a liar -- he called him out on his claims that only a few people booed him at the Oscars, for one. But he's willing to go along with the lies because Moore is on the same side politically as him. Here's one: Moore claims reporters clocked Bush as reading from 6 to 10 minutes. Big difference between the two -- which one is it, Mikey?

And this is the same Roger Ebert that co-wrote the script to Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. The film that is full of slurs towards "faggots" and the like.

If President Bush walked on water, Moore would say, "See, he can't swim."

"It should have occurred to Bush after the first attack that it involved the same building where the only previous foreign attack on America occurred.


Why should he have? Accidents happen. I was watching the news just after the first plane hit the building, it seemed like a horrible accident. It was not until the second plane came in and hit the second tower, that it became obvious it was not an accident.

Micahel Moore's movie is pure propaganda, he knows it, Ebert knows it, the French know it, and the American people know it. Let just see how well it does at the box office.

The other major propaganda movie out there, THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW at least attempts to be entertaining, and it is not doing so well at the box office. I doubt this movie will do any better.

The rotund Roger Ebert and Michael Moore are on the same eating plan:
The "Don't Carrot All for Truth, Lettuce Have Leftism" Diet


(One day they'll both have to eat their words!)

Well of course it's a politically motivated film. That's allowed. President Bush's speeches are politically motivated, and he doesn't give lip service to views opposite his own. That's allowed, too. I must decide if a movie is good or bad, despite whether I agree or disagree with its politics.

Ebert misses the reader's point. The movies he cites aren't documentaries; Moore's movie supposedly is, even though it's nothing but an anti-Bush screed.

I have thought that Ebert and Moore are the same overweight Rat thugs. Moore just sprays gray on his hair, change his glasses and pretends to be the movie critic, Ebert.

"It should have occurred to Bush after the first attack that it involved the same building where the only previous foreign attack on America occurred.

Nice to see Moore admitting that was a terrorist attack on on soil; can somebody direct me to the articles he wrote back then chastising Clinton for not doing anything about it.

He was told about the second attack, went ahead with his photo op, and reporters clocked him at 6 to 10 minutes reading My Pet Goat before leaving the classroom, posing for more photos, and going to another room for a meeting before holding a press conference and leaving the building.

A bold faced lie; Bush went into another room to MEET with his staff and talk to Condi Rice and Dick Cheney on the phone!

Bush was informed at 9:16 a.m. EDT and held his press conference at 9:30 a.m. EDT, according to Ann (it escapes me but she is with ABC News) who was WITH THE PRESIDENT and wrote down the times. So inside 14 minutes, he wrapped up the classroom visit, consulted the SS to find out what they knew, had at least two phone calls and was in front of the TV cameras by 9:30; and of course, Moore leaves out the part about the time it took for the press to get THEIR cameras and microphones ready so he COULD speak to the country.

The idea of "having one's wits about you" never dawns on Moore.

Since he should have considered himself a target, wasn't he endangering those children by staying in their school?"

Strawman argument. Just a gratuitous smear.

As you can tell, this particular arguement DRIVES ME UP THE WALL!

Michael Moore seems not to have heard of Pancho Villa's raid on Columbus, New Mexico, which killed more Americans than the 1993 terrorist attack on the WTC.

Did Roger Ebert become a movie critic because he was a left-wing idiot, or did he become a left-wing idiot as a result of spending all of his time watching Hollywood flicks?

Have we ever compared the dates of Monica's visits to the WH with world events?

He once kept some ambassador waiting while he got a blow job.

And he was talking about troops with a congressman while being "serviced."

Those are two that I can name right off the top of my head.
