RE: more on moore
"Vactation to michael more = not in the whitehouse. If he claims that when the president is not in the whitehouse he is not working, how could you trust that man to make judgements on politics in the first place?
To be honest, I'd love to see the movie. I want to see really what's convincing people and I want to see if it has an effect on me. But...from what I've heard, it seems like cheap shots like the one above.
I heard that he makes a big deal of when bush is reading to children (heheheheh thats an ironic scene, innit?) and gets inturupted by someone who says "mr. president, an airplane has crashed into the world trade center." and bush says "okay" and meets him in a few minutes, as soon as he is done reading to the children."
.....
Excuse me? He has no idea that it was a terrorist attack. So given the information that a plane had crashed into the world trade center, he finished what he was doing first, then went to help. What, is h e supposed to throw the book at the kids and run of stage?"
Bush was well known to spend his time fishing, golfing, ranching, and doing other leisure time things before 9/11. That's what the documentary showed. Was nothing new.
I had thoughts about what he should've done when he was in the classroom. He wouldn't have had to tell them what was going on. Just that he'd be back. And he was being told at that point that the 2nd or 3rd plane hit. He was told about the first before he got to the school and made the decision to go do the school thing anyway.
The part with the state trooper in Oregon was hilarious. Because of budget cuts there's 1 trooper to patrol the entire stretch of coast and even he only works part time. He said something like "I wouldn't know a terrorist if I saw one" or something like that. He said "I wish they'd give me a manual. If they did I'd read it. I have plenty of time to read but there's no manual" or something close to that. Had the whole theatre laughing.
