Moore probably didn't have the money to purchase the film clips for the film.
Audio is infinitely cheaper.
And I'd like to clarify a few points.
I do care about the office of the president.
The guys in the office are human and make mistakes- Marilyn, Monica, Iran-Contra, Watergate and so on. I have a lower tolerance for them when my elected officials lie to me.
Moore spends the first part of the movie going over the 2000 elections and how they were stolen.
GET OVER IT! I voted for the loser too!
Instead of chanting it like a mantra for three and a half years, we could have moved forward
Maybe we can get Mr Peabody, Sherman and the Way-Back Machine to go back and change a few votes.
And while we are at it let's change John Kerry's vote to go to war....Heaven help us! A war monger in the White House...
If he pick Dame Clinton to run with him that will make two votes for war.
A bit of trivia for you, Only TWO sitting Senators have ever been elected as Prez.
Soledad,
Let's put this into perspective-
Saddam built palaces instead of hospitals.
Jerked Kuwait around.
Gassed the Kurds
Let his sons run amuck
Jerked the UN inspectors around.
Who's to blame?
You'd think the leader of a country would at least WANT to take care of his people.
Nope, instead MM tries to move us to tears by tossing in some blood and gore, No, not AL...
Do you know what I thought when I saw that?
Maybe, because of this war for oil and land,
those people won't have to worry about influenza, diptheria, tetanus, measles and all that other funky stuff that happens when your leader decides to line his pockets, instead of taking care of you...
My heart bleeds for them too, but I am still looking forward, Hoping that someday there will be hospitals, anesthesia, doctors and nurses for these people....and while we are at it, let's toss in a school or two, a college and a university.
You are a smart gal......
It may have been the war that we should not have gotten into, but is it too late to try and make things right???? By them, and for us???
Brand me an optimist and a romantic....
And while you are at it, call me crazy.

Lila Lipscomb was talking to Debbie Norville
last night.
The one thing I find to be a real phenomena is when people take their grieving to the airways.
There are thousands of "family spokemen" that have lost their jobs because of this.
Now when I see a person championing a cause I wonder if they have their TiVo or VCR running.
I have become immune.
It's Lila's war now.
She can go ahead and make the rounds, until we find the next Dead-Soldier's-Mom-du-Jour.
Thank god Andy Warhol only gave people 15 minutes..I really hate to see people wallowing in pity for more than 16 minutes.
"Hey Lila this is Debbie Norville. Do you want to be on my show today??"
Lila: "No thanks Debbie, instead of wasting the money on air fare, a hotel and makeup, make a donation to the fund I set up in my son's name.
I figured if Michael Moore makes money with my pain I might be able to parley this into something that may help some other kid out there. You know, a college fund that may keep a kid in school, as opposed to having them join the service..."
