Le Monde speaks, Updated twice
So here we have the French -- who supposedly hate Americans because they're fat, vulgar, uneducated, gross, vile, ignorant, egotistical, self-important cretins and greedy blowhards -- embracing Michael Moore, whose latest oeuvre is up for the Palm D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
A contradiction?
Not at all. The headline says it all "Fahrenheit 9/11" : un film de guerre pour chasser George W. Bush" (Fahrenheit 9/11: a war film to drive out George W Bush). "Michael Moore is not just a filmmaker, he's a man who's found the role of his life: the man who drives George Bush out of the White House" (my translation).
If Moore spends 35-hr weeks at this, GWB's got nothing to worry about.
