When Bush-Bashers Collide? Moore’s Film at Odds with Clarke Remarks
... Moore has alleged in interviews promoting the film that Bush and his father, former president George H.W.

#3  I can not believe Foxnews.com is actually PRAISING this movie! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,122680,00.html
I plan to go with a some friends, wait until that scene that makes Hillary look bad, and then WALK OUT IN PROTEST!
This movie is going to backfire, people who see it will see that it is contrived and be doubly resolved to vote for Bush.

#2  He's slipping, being proven wrong even before the film hits theaters. Next time, Mikey, I want a stupid, fact-devoid tirade claim that stands up at least until the thing's out on video!
