Surprise win for anti-Bush film

BBC
Michael Moore's anti-Bush documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 has won best film at the US People's Choice Awards, voted for by the US public.
Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ won best drama, despite both films being snubbed so far at US film awards in the run-up to February's Oscars.

1. So

Moore has a sort of "mandate". The people have spoken and his film was chosen the best. I guess we won't hear any freepers bitching about this now...right?

2. Quite the contrary.

They'll spin it as non-representative of the true sentiments of the American public at large.
