I understand that Moore also makes a big deal about Bush reading to schoolchildren after hearing about the attacks on 9/11. I wish somebody in the media would point out how Moore wrote a downright insane column right after 9/11, suggesting that the terrorists should have attacked the states that voted for Bush, instead of New York. Moore removed it from his website a short time afterwards. Anyhow, my point is that Moore should be the last person pointing fingers about anybody's immediate reaction to 9/11.

I wonder what Ray Bradbury has to say about this appropriation of his title. I couldn't find his response. A real journalist would ask him rather than letting Michael hijack the name without contest.

Toronto Star: Moore rant wows Cannes Anti-Bush polemic funny, emotional yet very powerful

At one point in the film Bush is seen in the primary school classroom where he first learned of the planes being flown into the World Trade Center towers, and Moore slows the footage down so that Bush is seen to be blinking uncomprehendingly and endlessly, a child's storybook open ridiculously before him, as a counter in the corner of the screen counts out the nine minutes before the President seemed to react.
