I don't know why - it just came to mind. I was thinking, "what a steaming pile...hmmmm, it's nutty."

Democratic Party filmmaker Michael Moore is warning that the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy is trying to deny him an Oscar for his celebrated schlockumentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11," complaining that "top Republicans" are trying to intimidate the Academy Awards with threats of a Hollywood boycott.
"A group of top Republicans took out a full page ad in USA Today (and placed a similar one in the Hollywood trade magazine, Variety)," Moore noted last week in a message posted to his Web site.
"The point of the ad was to say that while they, as right wing conservatives, were proud of getting rid of Kerry, there was still one more nuisance running around loose they had to deal with – me!" Moore said that this evil GOP cabal has "issued a not-so-subtle threat to the Academy Awards voters that, in essence, said don't even THINK about nominating 'Fahrenheit 9/11' for Best Picture. And Bill O'Reilly recently bellowed that if the Oscars recognize my work this year, Middle America will boycott Hollywood."
Of course, some may recall that Moore promised to withdraw his film from Oscar contention when he thought he had a chance to air "Fahrenheit" on the pay-per-view cable net iNDEMAND before the election.
"I told my crew who worked on the film, let's let someone else have that Oscar," he told the BBC in September. "I don't want to take away from the other nominees and the attention that they richly deserve."
What Moore meant, it turns out, is that he was yanking "Fahrenheit" out of contention for the Best Documentary honors, which didn't preclude him from chasing the Oscar for Best Film.
And if Moore doesn't win his Oscar, it won't be because his rancid little flick was chock full of inaccuracies and propaganda, but because the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy strong-armed Hollywood into picking a less deserving production.
I'd be happy to plant Mikey's Oscar up his cracked backside, with his pants still on, to make sure he doesn't lose it.
It's like my tagline says...
what a big tub of walking/talking crap. useless
I vote he gets his Oscar. In fact I vote he gets every award Hollywood has to offer.
Does Mikey think there are left wing conservatives?
I am sure he was outraged when MoveOn.org took out THEIR full page ad in the NY Slimes, right??????
The Evil Right Wing has impact on Follywood?
You could have fooled me.
The idiot is so full of himself.
Shhh! I have his Oscar in my sock drawer. Right next to a stack of uncounted King County ballots.

Moore. I fart in your general direction.
I want to see Frenhype 9/11 win. LOL!
I agree. "More Moore!" is my battle cry. He's the best thing to happen to the Right since Jimmy Carter.
LOL! I meant Farenhype 9/11.
The best part of the Oscars is Live from the Red Carpet.
I don't think Mikey will be winning any "best dressed" accolades. Call it a hunch.
I'd almost like to see Hollywood give him the Oscar. It would be just more evidence of how out of touch that town is with the rest of the country.
I hope fatso wins an Oscar. Maybe, if he wins, people will undestand what Holleyweird is all about.
A stool.
