Filmmaker lambasts Bush during presidential debate

MINNEAPOLIS - Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore mounted a raucous political burlesque show Friday night in the University of Minnesota's basketball arena as he watched the presidential debate with about 7,500 people.Moore missed few opportunities to bash President Bush.

"Let's get ready to rumble," Moore shouted, perched on a podium in the center of Williams Arena during a stop on his so-called "Slacker Uprising Tour."

Moore, flanked by three bodyguards in dark suits, threw $100 bills into a baseball cap every time he felt the president lied, and at one point suggested that Bush should be tried in the international criminal court.Moore said at the end of the debate that he threw $2,000 into his hat - $100 for lies, $50 for misstatements, and $10 for funny looks on the president's face.

"Last resort? That's $100 right there," Moore said, after Bush said the United States invaded Iraq as a last resort.

"I've never given money to a Democrat or a Republican presidential candidate," Moore said, "but what we raise here tonight, I'm going to donate to John Kerry."

[Born Free]

2. we love this guy

My wife never, ever read a political book in our 30 years of marriage but even she is now a Michael Moore fan, read his latest book with the letters from soldiers and their families. Michael Moore doesn't look like anything special , but he sure does know what to say. He is definitely a hero in our family of working class slackers. It's time the working class take back America and restore the Constitution as the elite have everything screwd up.
