Thread Name: BS: Thank you, Thank you, Michael Moore!
Subject: RE: BS: Thank you, Thank you, Michael Moore!
I loved Moore's truncated speech. It took the sting out of Bill Maher selling out (yet again) later in the evening (on his newish program, Real Time With Bill Maher, on HBO). I probably should have expected it, but I really was suprised by his "I used to oppose the war, but now that it's started, we all have to pull together and fellate the president"-type statements. I was heartened to see that Tim Robbins (in an anti-war t-shirt) was a guest, but he wasn't given much of a chance to speak his mind, as Maher spent almost the entire show talking about the Academy Awards (which had not happened as of the shows taping) and cracking some absolutely daring jokes about celebrity boob-jobs. Funny stuff, Bill.

Moore, though, is GOD. And I miss his tv shows. :(
