SO NOW OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS GET THEIR POLITICAL VIEWS FROM POPULAR MOCKUMENTARIES?: i didn't know congresspersons gave shout-outs (or 'shouts-out'?) and dedications, but apparently they do, according to monsieur moore himself:
so now he's an educator of the world, huh? sounds like the hon. waters has been attending the hatch-specter school of hyperbolical misexaggeroverstatement. in fairness, though, perhaps she soon will lavish the same honor upon rob reiner.
now, there probably are some real threats to our democracy, but i have a feeling mr. moore wouldn't be too interested in examining those.
but i only have one hope for all of the foregoing: that the congress of the united states will award mr. moore an honorary ph.d and endowed chair of misinformation studies at the main campus of the electoral college.
Representative Maxine Waters took to the floor and said, "Mr. Speaker and members, I dedicate my objection to Ohio's electoral votes to Mr. Michael Moore, the producer of the documentary 'Fahrenheit 9/11' and I thank him for educating the world on the threats to our democracy and the proceedings of this house on the acceptance of the electoral college votes for the 2000 presidential election."
