I have never seen a political figure so divide his own people as much as George W. Bush has. He actually lost the 2000 election (but only by a razor thin hair), and he won this election by that same hair. Somehow he and his media spinnsters were able to convince just enough Americans that the best way to keep America safe was to piss the rest of the world off. Yeah… that’ll work out real well long term. But, at the same time, I have never seen a more poorly run campaign as the Democrats did in the last two elections. I don’t think anyone actually voted for John Kerry… they were just voting against Bush.
Now, I found this interesting story over at TwitchFilm (a cool site run by Movie Blog Alumnist and writer per excelance Todd aka Bubba) about Michael Moore deciding to do another Fahrenheit 9/11 film. One the one hand I like this idea just because I think Moore makes terrific films and knows how to push peoples buttons. On the other hand, a part of me thinks “just let it go”. It’s done, Bush is in office again, and the good news is that by law he won’t be able to run again. Then maybe a Republican or Democrat who can actually unite his people will take the white house.
Move on Michael. You’re too good at what you do to get snagged on just one dead issue.
