The elephant-man
Throws his weight around... Not his mental weight... He's none.
Please FReepmail me if you want on/off this ping list.
Barf alert implied.
Ebert has lost some weight but he's still as much of a pig as Moore.
Originally, I heard that the first plane that impacted the WTC was thought to be a small plane.
Oh and like the teacher's tape couldn't have been edited too. These will be the same folks who will say someone doctored Clinton's Bin Laden confession, just watch.
What he didn't do was startle the children there. Can you imagine being a little tyke there, seeing a guy whisper something into the President of the United States ear, and then watch him make a mad dash for the exits.
The best punishment for these people is just to vote Bush in for another 4 years.
Take that, Cannes.
Excellent. Let the democrat partisan vitriol surge forth.
Moore is helping to polarize left from right in America, and apparently, Europe.
This is not, in my opinion, a bad thing.
A priveledged American fanning the fires of hatred for a strong America? Perfect! Pugsly Moore becoming a democrat figurehead? I couldn't WRITE a more delicious scenario. Twenty minute elite ovation for a naive college-politics hit piece on the president? Bravo!
If ignorant citizens are finally taking a stand behind Moore, they will at least be engaged in the culture war. The right can now reach them. They were invisible as long as they watched TV sitcoms and refused to follow politics, now they are stirred by a fat charlatan socialist who will make an easy target.
I love the smell of charred liberal ideology in the morning!
Ebert and Moore both need to shut up.
So the President, when informed of a crisis, took note and continued what he was doing until he got more information. BFD.
Clinton would've had to finish things off in the sink before reacting.
Although the FAA might have had more information than the press did about the exact status of the four hijacked jets, until the first one hit the WTC the rule was to get them landed and negotiate with the hijackers. There were 18 minutes from the first tower being hit until the second one was hit. Even if the Air Force was instructed at 8:45 to shoot down the other hijacked jets, I doubt that anything could have been done to stop the second crash at 9:03.
Very impressive. The French usually stand that long only when they're surrendering.
If Teddy Kennedy had been there, he probably would have packed all the kids into a car and driven it off a bridge.
This is the best they can come up with.....? They will never, ever realize just how out of touch with the public they are.
That's a strawman, not the conventional wisdom. I've never seen that claimed anywhere but leftist hit pieces, like this one.
The Moore version: He was informed of the first attack, went into the room anyway, was informed of the second attack, and remained with the students until a staff member suggested that he leave.
That's a twisted version of the story. there were plenty of good reasons for it to be done exactly the way it was done, none of which are quoted here.
"The teacher in that Sarasota classroom happened to tape the whole event," Moore told me. "We'd seen other footage from the networks, but it was all edited. She just left the camera running. She said nobody had ever asked her for the film. Bush didn't instinctively jump up and go into action, but just stayed on autopilot until someone told him what to do."
His advisors and staff were continuing the plan they laid out before he went in. Words like 'dawddled' and 'autopilot' are just deceptive leftist spin.

Roger, Roger, Roger...if you'd told me in September 2001 that almost three years later, somebody, anybody still cared enough that Dubya spent a few extra minutes reading those kids the goat book to write a column about it, I'd have laughed at the thought that anybody'd be that petty. I mean, do people still make fun of you for writing those Russ Meyer breastsploitation flicks?...well, I guess I just did.
Go back to movie reviews, Rog, it's what you know about. And get rid of that simp Roeper. He's no Gene Siskel.
An *O*vation? The audience mooned him?
I thought sure this would be the column where Ebert took Kerry's daughter to task for showing off her ta-ta's to the Cannes film crowd.
After all, he trashed one of the Bush twins for wearing a denim skirt to tea with the Brit Royales.
