You won't know any more when you look at MSNBC than you know now, which is nothing.

I know people who were at the Oscars, in real life, and they say the boos were quite loud, almost deafening. They say that ABC turned the volume down on the boos so you could hear what Moore said, which they couldn't hear in the hall.

Take that for what it's worth.

I have a theory about Moore's speech. I believe that he shouldn't have won the Oscar for Best Documentary because "Bowling for Columbine" isn't a documentary at all, it's a highly staged work of fiction posing as a documentary. Moore knew it shouldn't have been nominated, and he knew there would be controversy if he won. So he decided to deflect criticism off his highly fictitional movie by throwing a hissy fit about the (now finished) war.

And thanks to the morons, it worked. Nobody's talking about the lies and distortions in "Bowling for Columbine" any more, they're just talking about what a pompous ass Michael Moore is.
