Last week, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld visited Iraq and, to the cheers of his military audience, defiantly called himself “a survivor” (a word traditionally reserved for those who have lived through the Holocaust or cancer, not for someone enduring political difficulties).

This unnecesary and totally ridiculous slap (survivor isnt some sacred word that must only be spoken in hushed tones, after all isnt there a major television franchise about people who never lived through the holocaust or cancer called....Survivor?) in an entertainment review shows you all you need to know about the politics of this jerk, and why he likes Moores movies.

Wow. If that's the kind of mind that responds to this film, we have no worries. What a snake. "He used the word survivor!" Egads!

Excellent point. And didn't Destiny's Child have a song called "Survivor"? Is the author going to go after Beyonce Knowles for being insensitive?
