no bowling for columbine where he intimidated charlton heston in his own home made him a-hole.

Why the hell would his career be over?

Definitely. I've met Mr. Heston and had a lengthy conversation with him some years ago. For all his fame he has to be the absolute nicest celebrity and most down to earth guy I've ever spoken with (and yes, there have been quite a few more).

Michael Moore is celebrating. If Kerry won, his career would have been over. With Bush in office, he can continue to make millions selling propaganda and lies as "documentary".

Michael Moore was sited today eating his way through depression at a local McDonald's. Witnesses report that he ate 8 Big Macs, 4 Large Fries and 3 Super Size Cokes. He was later spotted heading for the bathroom moaning loudly.

He's probably at hanging out with George Soros with a bottle of Jack and a 12 gauge.

SNL's poke at him was just too true and got me to pass beer through my nose.


They were doing their own interpretation of the Bin Laden tape, it went some like this, "I am talking to US citizens all the time, in fact I have been talking to your Michael Moore, but I don't know if I can believe everything he says......."

I was just thinking the same thing. From a professional standpoint, the Bush re-election was clearly to his benefit. I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see a F9/11 sequel focusing on different aspects of the Bush presidency - it seems to me the PNAC connection, in particular, is fertile ground for a high-visibility documentary.

Roger and Me was the same type of lies, distortion and pushing of socialist ideology all his other films were.

Moore's "documentaries" have been getting progressively more hateful, distorting, and anti-America. I wouldn't be suprised if his next film had a flag carrying Bushing whipping a little girl for two hours straight.

Yep. Railing on fat, rich, corporate cats; and now he is one (Or two. Kinda hard to tell.).

I don't see what's anti-american about Fahrenheit 9/11.
I also have yet to have anyone answer me when I ask for specific notation of lies contained in F9/11. I won't argue distortions and the like, but no one has been able to tell me about any outright lies.

with all seriousness, he's prolly chasing some of the stories the media didn't broadcast, and developing his film from yesterday. And if you feel his career is ended you don't understand the nature of someone like him, giving up isn't an option. Bush isn't his only target.

While I think MM is a bit radical, thank GOD for him - at least someone out there is being the watchdog that we need.

Watchdog for what most of his films are about corporate America not caring for people. Roger and Me I found to be dumb if it was costing GM too much and they were losing profits close it. This is not about morality or being loyal to employees its about maximizing profits. I plan to open my biz and if I got to layoff ppl to make sure I make my money than so be it.

Hey, MM isn't the only watchdog out there - there ARE others for both liberal and conservative sides.

Regardless, each has their place to keep things in check and even-keeled.

Hasn't done much to deter this administration from its deceptive and secretive practices.

...watch dog? He is spewing propagandas not even half-truths but total fabrications. The so-called media is what we can call the true Watchdogs of our democratic system. MM is not even a journalist or doesn't even pretent to be one so don't try to legitimize him. He is a humbug who found his niche making money by inciting gullible people.

Sore loser or someone pretending to care so that people don't hip up to the fact that he was only in it for the money?
