Moore still ashamed of Bush
Filmmaker Michael Moore, who slammed President Bush and the U.S.-led war in Iraq during his Oscar acceptance speech, continued his criticism before a university crowd in Bush’s home state.
Moore said this week that the president’s approval ratings are high because the American people rally around their leader after a tragedy, and Bush “is the one occupying the federal land at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.”
Moore said the United States is at war with Iraq because of the former Texas governor’s need to keep the public’s eye off his domestic failures as president.
“It’s not about the weapons of mass destruction; it’s about the weapons of mass distraction,” he told students and guests at the University of Texas.
