Cry for Cannes

Cry for Cannes

The BBC reports that Michael Moore's latest film 'won Cannes on merit'.

"But Kill Bill director Tarantino insisted Moore's overt political themes did not influence his jury's choice.
'I knew all this politics crap would be brought up,' he said. 'We all agreed that Fahrenheit 9/11 was the best movie of the competition.' "

That's it? One of Moore's video editorials is the best there is among documentaries? The Cannes Film Festival used to have quality documentaries, and if one of Moore's editorials (which are so obviously biased) even makes it into the category (must be one heckuva loophole) and then beats all other contenders...there must have been some terrible, terrible documentaries this year.

Either that, or the Cannes jury decided to slap President Bush in the face, much like the Nobel comittee did when they awarded the Peace prize to Jimmy Carter (and admitted as to why).

This is something I just don't get - this group on the left who actually hate George W. Bush. Bush wasn't the one who killed three thousand Americans. And it wasn't even him who set the conditions necessary for that to happen - particularly the perceived weakness of the United States exemplified by Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.

Let's be clear about this: every accusation the Left has made against President Bush, ever since his election, has been completely false, made from whole cloth. Lies.

And Al Franken may wonder as to why Air America is tanking.
