#2 Distasteful Night at the Oscars! I am saddened by the ignorance of some of some people in this country. (Pray to God they remain in the minority) I can't understand why these people don't recognize that no amount of anti-war, anti-America reiterick will change how they would be viewed or accepted in many parts of the middle east. If only we could send Michael Moore over there, then he would find out that people like Saddam and Bin Laden would consider him an "infidel" and have him shot just for being a "zionist" American, famous or not. Mr. Moore and other Hollywood stars have much to say with little information or education behind it....their craft allows them to skillfully convince us that they are someone else on screen, but I am not to inpressed with the 'real' people some of them are.

#3 Yes, if anyone knows about "fiction" it's fat, ugly Mikey. Just watch one of his movies. Didn't know they made tuxes in size "blimp".
I'm glad he did it because anyone out there who doesn't know his fat ass from a hole in the wall sure knows who he is now. And what an asshole he is. Hope you enjoyed your career, Mikey.

#4 "I'm an American, and you don't leave your citizenship when you enter the doors of the Kodak Theater. What's great about this country is that you can speak your mind," he said.

Yes, he kept his citizenship, but apparently he left his integrity and humanity elsewhere. He's too stupid to notice that it's missing.

#5 Interesting headline switcheroo: this morning, Yahoo!'s headline was "Michael Moore booed at Oscars" (or something very similar); now it's "Michael Moore slams war on Iraq at Oscars." The article appears to be the same.

The only Moore slam I would fear is a body-slam.

#7 The only truth about what you stated Mr. Moore - was that you can speak your mind in America. However, it is obvious that you are just filled with stupidity. President Bush has more class in his little pinky toe - than you have in your WHOLE - AND I MEAN WHOLE entire body. You should take some lessons from him......Don't open your mouth - if crap is just going to come flying out of it...

#8 "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

That's what America is all about. Even in Iraq. I'm quoting a French here: Voltaire

In Iraq Michael Moore would have more than his tongue cut out.

#9 Why isn't Michael Moore in Iraq using himself as a human shield if he is so opposed to the war and "OUR" President?? And where the hell was he on 9/11 when over 3,000 "Americans" were killed...I didn't see him helping our heroes in a rescue and recovery effort!!! SHAME ON YOU MICHAEL MOORE !!! God Bless America, our President and our Troops!!!

#10 Just because you have the right to say something, doesn't mean its right to say something. The left need to relearn common decency.

One report of the incident said the booing came from the cheap seats, that the stars sat on their hands and basically fought not to clap for Mikey. The lesson of the Dixie Chix is ringing strong in Hollywood right now.

#11 This article nicely explains why "Bowling for Columbine" is not a documentary but a piece of propaganda.

#12 Michael Moore should be a human shield. After all, he could shield about 4 Iraqis with his fat bag.

What a cheap man-slut, a man-bitch and a man-whore.

#13 Best thing was Steve Martin's crack right after - something like "You should see backstage, it's so sweet, the teamsters are helping Michael Moore into the trunk of his car."

Whether Martin meant it this way or not, that joke perfectly captured the difference between people like Moore and the rest of us (especially those of us who live a few miles from a giant hole in the ground in lower Manhattan),

#14 FWIW, Moore lives on the Upper West Side. He's still a douchebag, though.

#15 "That's what America is all about. Even in Iraq. I'm quoting a French here: Voltaire"

Don't believe you are right,I think that was from a Patriot from the American Revolution(can't remember his name).
