Michael Moore’s new movie, “Fahrenheit 9/11,” won the Cannes Film Festival’s top prize yet still has no U.S. distributor. In it, Moore goes right for the throat of President George W. Bush and he doesn’t let go.
Confrontation suits Moore. He has been launching video grenades from the far left since his breakout agit-prop documentary “Roger & Me” in 1989. Since then, Moore has produced and hosted two television shows, won an Oscar and become a best-selling author with “Dude, Where’s my Country.”
