Fahrenheit 9/11 wins Palme d'Or
With Moore's customary blend of humor and horror, "Fahrenheit 9/11" accuses the Bush camp of stealing the 2000 election, overlooking terrorism warnings before September 11 and fanning fears of more attacks to secure Americans' support for the Iraq war.
Michael Moore said :
"I can't begin to express my appreciation and my gratitude to the jury, the Festival, to Gilles Jacob, Thierry Frémaux, Bob and Harvey at Miramax, to all of the crew who worked on the film. [...] I have a sneaking suspicion that what you have done here and the response from everyone at the festival, you will assure that the American people will see this film. I can't thank you enough for that. You've put a huge light on this and many people want the truth and many want to put it in the closet, just walk away. There was a great Republican president who once said, if you just give the people the truth, the republicans, the Americans will be saved. [...] I dedicate this Palme d'Or to my daughter, to the children of Americans and to Iraq and to all those in the world who suffer from our actions. "
Congratulations and Bravo...

If nobody want to distribute it... because of pressures.
Micheal Moore is a grossly obese cock sucking faggot who is kissing up, or rather sucking up (slurp slurp down goes the dick yorgurt) to the elite self proclaimed godlike freaks in hollywood for a shot at fame. He would sell out his country and soul, just to get famous so that maybe some chick will let him stick his micro penis into her gold digging little snatch. Truth is, some bimbo will no doubt spread for him now, but most likely will vomit at any reminisence of the event. Michel Moore, you should go to Iraq like Sean Penn and get yourself some goat. It's better than selling out your country, TRAITOR!!!!!!
