The first in a series of blind items on Michael Moore's new movie, Fahrenheit 9/11. Blind items are actual arguments made by professional journalists and paid pundits for the veracity of the movie.
... it's impressionistic, not literal.
...made in the Michael Moore style.
...plays to the paranoia gallery.
The contortions of logic required to defend or praise the film (even if only backhandedly) is damn hysterical to watch. Feel free to add your own blind items or send them to me.

How about you see the movie first. I am sure then you will have a field day, but at least wait until it comes out, eh?

Bill you miss the point entirely. Those are not my reviews, they are actual quotes from TV and print reporters spinning the movie. What makes them blind items is that I don't identify the person. Catch up please...

Why haven't they dipped into "better than Battlefield Earth" yet?

I think Moore is a nerd that wants to make Bush look bad.
