    Well, I think it's a bit hypocritical to attack American intelligence on supporting Bush due to bush being hated by the French, while saying nothing about the French giving the award to Michael Moore simply for attacking Bush.

      The French fell for our evil plot to re-elect Bush.

          I wonder how much the ruckus about Disney-censorship pushed Moore's movie to the top.

          I expect JohnT to come in this thread and yell "I told you so". He'd deserve the treat

            I think French hatred of Bush has far more to do with this than the controversy with Disney...

              I think you mean the global hatred of bush, since Cannes has an international jury.

                France gave us 5 points at the song contest.
                Besides as General Ludd pointed out, it is an international jury.

                        Yeah, that's all they care about...
                        Americans are only interested in making sure their own film wins
