Many Americans now realize the French are "good friends of America who tried to do the right thing and tell us this was the wrong road," Moore said. "We owe the people of this country an apology for the way they were debased and treated in our media."

Good idea. Mike. I'm looking forward to this open-mindedness to pervade your thinking about other people with who have gotten shoddy treatment from the media. Someday soon, I'm sure I'll read the following paragraph in a news article:

Many liberals now realize that Conservatives are "good friends of America who tried to do the right thing and tell us this was the wrong road," Moore said. "We owe the people of this country an apology for the way they were debased and treated in our media."

Yeah, right... the same day Michael Moore grows up, sheds the excess kilos and makes a BALANCED film.

In other words, don't hold your breath, FRiend...

"Many Americans now realize the French gay, they tried to do the cowardly thing and tell us this was the wrong road," Moore said. "I owe the people of this country an apology for the way they have been misled by myself and the media."

"Awarded by his peers no doubt."

Very good comment!

I've thought for a long time that these awards ceremonies that the entertainment industry has is really nothing more than said industry trying to entertain itself.

Double standards? Try putting these shoes on...

AMERICA’S NEW POLITICAL AGENDA AND FOREIGN POLICY

1. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.

2. The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.

3. Government should relax regulation of Big Business and Big Money but crack down on individuals who use marijuana to relieve the pain of illness.

4. "Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers and moving their jobs to India.

5. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

6. Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.

7. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.

8. Group sex and drug use are degenerate sins unless you someday run for governor of California as a Republican.

9. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.

10. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money.

11. HMOs and insurance companies have the interest of the public at heart.

12. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.

13. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but Creationism should be taught in schools.

14. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Daddy Bush made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy when Baby Shrub needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.

15. A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defence policy.

16. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the internet.

17. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George W. Bush's driving record is none of our business.

18. You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have a right to adopt.

19. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.

20. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.

Double standards? Whaddya think, Tex?

Thats how I see these award shows these days. Three or four hours of overpaid no-talent assclowns patting each other on the back.

Happend to see the video footage of it all on FOX News, and he acted all surprised when they called his name. I predicted this award going to Moore in my sleep, it was painfully obvious in a number of ways.

Michael Moore Mistakes Cannes Prize for Chocolate Eclair

Well the elite entertainment establishment once again proves that it hasn't a clue what a real documentary is. I could draft a script blaming Bush for starving people on the streets of the U.S. and get out my video camera and go to work. I'd be a shoe-in for next year's awards at Cannes. Would I have to include any actual documents or physical exhibits to prove his guilt? Not really, but then it worked for Moore.

It's hard to take Cannes serious. It's like a running joke that the particpants are incapable of grasping. As they laugh, others are shaking their heads and wondering what the average IQ of the Cannes participant is. Wondering might be a bit of a stretch. It's quite clear what that average is not.

While we wait to hear the good news of Iraq, the Cannes decision process is reported moment by moment. I've been breathless with anticipation. NOT.

More laments the poor children that have suffered at the decions process of the U.S. I guess the half of the population of Iraq (namely girls) that can now go to school are surely suffering for it. I guess the children of Iraq are really suffering with clean drinking water. I guess the ability to turn on the lights now is really taking it's toll. I'm sure the fact that they can now get three squares a day is a blight to them.

Moore, Cannes, in your case dilusion is a sad thing to watch. It's borders on criminal negligence.
