Fahrenheit 9/11

I watched the movie. As you know it is a documentary by Michael Moore, the anti-war, anti-Bush guy. His statement while getting the Oscar prize is well-known:"Shame on you Mr. Bush". He starts the movie with showing the celebrations for the Al-Gore victory in 2000. It is shown that all of the news channels including CNN announce the victory of Al-Gore in the state of Florida except for one channel, which is Fox News. It is claimed that the guy behind this news was the cousin of George W. Bush. Then all the other channels take back their previous news and apologize from the public for their wrong news. Now Bush is the winner. The case is brought to the supreme court. Just 5 (out of 9) members of the supreme court vote for Bush and so Bush is the winner of the extremely important state of Florida. But wait! As I understood, at that time there was still a chance. As I inferred if a Senator made a complain about the presidential election it would go to another process and something would happen! But not even one Senator said anything about that. A lot of Representatives, mostly African-American, complained. If a Senator complained about the election Bush couldn't be the president that simple! It seems to me that it was a decision made by the Democratic party. Since they wanted to both make complains and at the same time didn't want to loose their reputation, since supreme court voted for Bush. He says that all these things were just like dreams. He shows when he once met Bush and he told him:"Come to the real world". I will continue that later.

Note: I found out that what Bush told Moore was "Behave yourself-go find real work"!!
