Bush team shrugs off Cannes result

Bush team shrugs off Cannes result
May 23, 2004

THE White House refused to be riled today by a decision to award the Cannes film festival's top prize to a documentary harshly critical of US President George W. Bush and his decision to invade Iraq.

"It's a free country. It's what makes America great. Everyone has the right to say what they want. And beyond that, we're not going to comment," White House spokeswoman Suzy DeFrancis said.

5. Isn't Cannes in France?

Cannes, France, being not Amurika-how could it be a free country? Especially FRANCE, the second worst country in existence(behind Iraq)!

6. So they will need a comeback....some movie with

Heston, Derek, Schwarzie and all pro-Bush Hollywood types - possibly in a rapture movie with guns and weapons of your imagination and possibly with the women in crusader metal armor for the proper modesty and morality.

7. They might be blase about it now......

but just wait until the movie is released in the U.S. They will have sweat stains under their armpits. The eyes will betray the colossal fear they have of the truth being shown in thousands of prime-time theaters across the country.

As millions of movie-goers sit down with a tub of buttered popcorn to watch the horror that is the BFEE. Not scared yet?

As Michael Moore fearlessly paints the family ties between the Bush's and the Bin Laden's, tiny beads of sweat start to build on their upper lips.....

Don't tell me you're not scared.

10. What will their strategery be? ... Karl? ... Karl? ... Beuller?

I predict they will ignore for now, but when it comes out, their army of cable news whores will smear Moore like he's never been smeared before. Lots of straw man action...

12. Well....

"It's a free country. It's what makes America great. Everyone has the right to say what they want. And beyond that, we're not going to comment,"

Well then, I guess they won't try and censor it and allow it to be distributed freely in movie theaters, huh?
