Nobody said it better

Nah. Moore's just a HUGE Dixie Chicks fan, and wanted to take some of the heat off poor Natalie....(barf)

[plusone]

I wonder what Moore would say if Gore were president now?

[Revolting cat!]

You're right, well stated!

[rocke031]

"Pass the gravy" would be my guess

[Paul Atreides]

The Blob is in denial.

[marktwain]

his documentary "Bowling for Columbine."

This should be "his fraudulent documentary".

[plusone]

Good one!!

[SolitaryMan]

Heard on local talk radio that it's common knowledge in Detriot that Moore is actually Palestinian.....should say a lot.

[Paul Atreides]

Discounting the inaccuracies and liberal bent, he shouldn't have gotten it for his crass whining to the press about the Academy passing him over.

I think it speaks VOLUMES that Hollywierd would have MOORE as a spokesperson. He was resoundingly CHEERED at the "Spirits Awards" by the same crowd only two days before. He said the SAME THING THEN!!

A few stars have stated they found it appalling... but not enough. Not on a day that our troops were captured, tortured and executed. The silence (even despite the boo'ing) was deafening....

He would say. "I want to commend the president for working closely with the French and Russians to avoid war." Gore would be doing nothing.

[Senator Goldwater]

Jelly needs to get back in line before the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade begins.

Unfortunately, there were still too many hoorahs in the crowd during Michael Moore's acceptance speech. I am surprised that so many are willing to give those brave "BOOERS" at the Oscars a freebie on this. When they publicly denounce Moore's diatribe and condemn him for speaking for them by using the word "we" only then should they be praised. In Hollywood it is all about money and power and contracts. The fingers go up and they test the wind, the wind machine in Hollywood happens to be Spielberg and right now Spielberg is in support of the war, don't think they don't know it.

Beware of the Blob!
It creeps and leaps and glides and slides across the floor
Right through the door and all around the wall ,
A splotch, a blotch,
Be careful of the Blob!

That Ralph Nader or Noam Chomsky would be doing a better job.

Please take a moment to let the SunTimes know how much we appreciate their comments ........ thanks......

I saw a replay, and when the camera switch to the audience during Moore's rant, out of several hundred people within the view of the camera, only *one* person was clapping (couldn't see the face, don't know if it was a "name" celebrity), at least 4 were visibly booing, and *everyone* else was sitting in very uncomfortable stony-faced silence with expressions of "how tacky" on their faces.

It didnt work.

In fact, I would guess that every single entertainer who has been gleefully bashing the President and the USA, makes the Ditsey Chits cringe right about now.It reinforces the point that celebrities think they have some kind of immunity from the consequences of their words and actions.

Lots of people dont understand that the Ditsey Chits have been skating on thin ice since they bashed Toby Keith for his wildly popular song,"The Angry American".Their stupid remarks bashing Bush, and bringing in the state of Texas to do so,pandering to an anti-American audience, was just the final straw.

In a way, its entertaining watching entertainers self destruct because they believe their own press releases.
