Bush (news - web sites) and war in Iraq (news - web sites) amid loud boos from the audience. AFP Photo "We live in fictitious times," he said when picking up the award for best documentary for his anti-gun film "Bowling for Columbine." "We live in a time with fictitious election results that elect fictitious presidents. We live in a time when we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. "We are against this war Mr Bush. Shame on you. Shame on you!," he said to loud boos from an of 3,500 including most of Hollywood's top stars. When he went backstage at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre to face reporters, Moore was unapologetic for his outburst. "I'm an American, and you don't leave your citizenship when you enter the doors of the Kodak Theater. What's great about this country is that you can speak your mind," he said. He said that, far from being appalled, many people in the audience stood up to applaud him. "I say tonight I put America in a good light," he said praising the decision to push ahead with the Oscars (news - web sites) despite the war raging in the Middle East. "I showed how vital it is to have free speech in our country and all Americans have the right to stand up for what they believe in," he said.

Best damn oscar speech of all time. Micheal Moore is the man. Shame on you President Bush, shame on you.

following the law is not cheating. the highest representation of the law in the US is the supreme court, they said Bush had won the presidency. nobody was cheated out of anything. as soon as people realize that in the US, the law does not uphold 1 voice = 1 vote, then we can put this behind us. if you dont like it dont blame bush, go out and advocate changing the law.

Dude you should go and use that website I posted to tear apart his documentary! I would love for the opportunity to question his misrepresentation when he is so keen on presenting the truth.

yes i was referring to the american public.

as for the "cheating", here it goes.

I'm not sure if you've had a politics class in your school yet, but according to my books and teachers, there's a thing called "checks & balances" in the US Governemnt. Bush "cheating" ??? What do you think, the US is like Iraq where Saddam gets 100% of the votes? c'mon now, checks and balances ensure justice and fairness.

will you please say how Bush so called "cheated"? because i'm still not sure i know how he went about doing that....and i live in a liberal city, and i'm suprised that "they" didn't have themselves heard about this issue when Bush was elected president.

someone shine some light ova here
