Former President George H.W. Bush called filmmaker Michael Moore a "slimeball" for what he described as lies told about the Bush family in "Fahrenheit 9/11." Bush sat down for an interview last week with WCSH-TV before leaving for Houston. The interview aired Wednesday evening. Bush didn't hold back when asked his opinion of Moore, one of the nation's best-known leftist activists. "Total ass, slimeball," Bush said. It's "outrageous, his lies about my family."
Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" attacked President George W. Bush's handling of the war on terrorists, his decision to go to war in Iraq and the Bush family's ties to the Saudi royal family. The movie claimed high-ranking Saudi nationals were allowed to flee the United States immediately after the attacks at a time when American airspace had been closed to commercial traffic. The Sept. 11th commission found there was no evidence of Saudi flights before national airspace reopened on Sept. 13th, 2001, and no evidence of political intervention. |
