Snip your Blockbuster card in half. No rental money for them. Take it out of their hides. :)

Amazing. He couldn't even use an original rant. His speech was almost exactly the same as the one he used last night at the Independent Spirit Awards.

The interesting part was, they started booing when he began slamming Bush...not the war.

No, I'm not living in false hope, but I'm impressed nonetheless.

I'm not disabled, and I'd still kick the crap out of him. I've tried to call him out via e-mail but I keep getting bounced. He'd better never come to Reno for a book signing.

"The teamsters are helping Michael Moore into the trunk of his limo"
Big cheers... "

10 points for Steve Martin. Hollywood rewards a union buster and then boos him. Michael is dissed. Yes!

HE WAS SOOOO BOOED. Good for them. It just made him look like a fool. But then again, he talked about fiction, and he, as we know, is the King of it.

Has anyone here seen BfC? He must have said or done something to make fun of Hollywood celebrities wholly separate from the war thing. That's the only possible explanation.

Probably a reference to the disappearance (and presumably death) of controversial and colorful Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa.

It says something that the audience was not full of penned-up resentment for being told to behave.... they actually did not appreciate Moore's display.

It was long, loud and built up in a crescendo...the more he talked the more they booed. But what REALLY surprised me was that the great majority did not cheer or applaud; oh, some did (like the presenter Diane Lane) and Danny (the Red) Glover.

The Steve Martin joke and response capped it off nicely.
