The controversy over Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 just won't go away. The film, which is being advertised with the strapline "Controversy?

Should Michael Moore ever come down with flesh eating disease, he will end up providing three semi-wholesome meals a day for the many generations of bacteria and their families who will no doubt be bringing their own Pepto before the feast, which will last for decades.
On the other hand, all the hate Moore carries around inside him for America just might consume him first, leaving nothing behind but a big vacuous, snarling husk.
Gollum, gollum...precious brings nice fishies for gollum...
The vote was last week and I only remember one or two names (Democrats all, I believe).
Terrorists best friends--Annan and Moore.
