I'm stunned... stunned, I tell ya.

Who would have ever guessed that Michael Moore's act would play well enough to get him a prize in France?

I'm simply stunned.

How high do you think blood pressures will go in Hollywood and France when Bush is re-elected? I predict a record number of strokes on both continents come Kerry's election day concession speech.

Some critics speculated that if "Fahrenheit 9/11" won the top prize, it would be more for the film's politics than its cinematic value.

NO, Really?

Where is the counter-film?

We need a film that documents the heroism of the American people on 9/11 & the shameful neglect of the Clinton years that led up to it.

When can I expect Hollywood to release that film?

Wait a minute...top prize to the MM dung and then "grand prize", which is second place...

Sounds like the old joke "first prize is a week's stay in downtown nowhere and second prize is 2 weeks stay in downtown nowhere".

Let the Lord Haw-Haw Media and our enemies lap it up. They only pat each other on the back over and over again.

The sane in the world don't listen anymore.

"Fahrenheit 9/11" was the first documentary to win Cannes' prestigious Palme d'Or since Jacques Cousteau's "The Silent World" in 1956.

In 48 years?!

I am completely shocked. Lol...

I hate to be mean about someone's weight problem, but Moore is nothing but a fat, untalented, ungrateful, seditious slob. He should be living in France where he can gallop through the forest sniffing out truffles.

Considering how the French, the cinematic community and Michael Moore in particular feel about President Bush and this country's war on terror, I'd say it was a safe bet.

The French consider Jerry Lewis to be a cinematic genius. Full stop. Nothing follows. Case closed.

I hope the French present Michael Moore the award by shoving it up his fat Rectum.
