"Essentially, 80% of the people going IN to see your movie are already likely Kerry voters and the movie has galvanized them in a way you rarely see Democrats galvanized.

I predict big problems with the touch screens on election day as the Dems show up to vote.

This isn't about his grandiose plans to have his movie shown on TV, it's about his movie's inability to stand up under the scrutiny it would receive if it won the Oscar.

He knows it would be ripped apart further than it already has.

When I read this news, the first thing that came to mind was a song...

"Go on take the money and run"

Recent poll results show that 100% of Kerry voters are complete dunderheads.

I will not be watching the Oscars this year. Too many Hollywood idiots have chosen to use their fame (which they would not have without their fans or our money) and act like political spokespeople. For the most part most don't have half a brain to talk about anything but the illusions & talking points given to them by Michael Moore & the DNC (if they make it that far). Anyway, even so....I have decided to write an email to the Academy to express how I feel about Michael Moore and his movie. It may not change Hollywood's mind but, hey it's worth an email to at least let them know how many of us really don't care for Hollywood or it's politics.

If your're intersted in joining me...here's the info:

My bad!

Yeah, that's the ticket! I had dinner with a Republican. Sure, that'll work.
A dinner ... and a Republican. And he told me that he liked my movie. Yeah, that's the ticket. He liked my movie.


It's more likely that Moore had the Republican for dinner. ;)

Gee...the pig writes about himself better than I ever could. I'm going to study this and learn the pigs' secret about self aggrandizement, and then write a book about me and a movie about me, and the only source will be.....ME!....This is too easy.

I had dinner recently with a well-known pollster who had often worked for Republicans.

Does he mean to say that a Republican pollster ate out of a pig trough?

Um, I thought that because he aired it on TV, in Cuba no less, prior to the usual holding or waiting period, he was automatically disqualified from being considered? Is he trying to bow out 'gracefully' or stir up support to have them bend the rules because of the value he believes it has for society? He's self-serving and narcissistic, twisting truths to 'shock' and create for himself something out of nothing all the way to the bank.

Hannity was doing man-on-the-street interviews last week (I heard it replayed today) and was talking to two idiots, get this, outside the MTV studios. Both of them didn't even know Kerry's name. Kept referring to him as Jim Kearney. Neither knew anything about him nor could they name one thing that he'd done for them. One was voting for 'Kearney' because he didn't like Bush. The other wasn't voting, but would have voted for Kearney because she doesn't like Bush.

The Founding Fathers had a good reasons for limiting just who could cast a vote, and the dims are proving why that was, daily.

As I understand it, you are correct. This appears to me as if fat boy is trying to make it look as though he is 'giving' some other schmuck a shot at oscar 'glory'.

I heard the Hannity bit you are talking about with Jim Kearny. They also didn't know who was the VP pick, and went along with Hannity when he said his name was Stu Pedd.

Most of these people probably won't make the effort to vote thank God.

"It is the atomic bomb of this campaign."

OK, Michael (Moby) Moore, if atomic bombs stink as well as bomb, you have produced the stink bomb of the year. Most, if not all, of us have never met you, and for that we count our blessings; however, it is hard for us to conclude, based on the pictures we see of you ,that you do not stink as well.

Sorry. I don't post very much. Just toss into other threads mostly. The link form Drudge sent me to Fat Boy's page and that's where I linked. My apologies for soiling your PC. Did you save his site as a favorite? ;)
