TORONTO (CP) -- Filmmaker Michael Moore busted an otherwise toned-down Oscar ceremony wide open with an acceptance speech that included a scathing indictment of President George W. Bush for bringing the United States into war in Iraq.
Moore took the stage with his Canadian producer Michael Donovan from financial backer Alliance Atlantis, for winning best feature documentary for his anti-gun rant Bowling For Columbine. He drew both boos and a standing ovation when he delivered a blistering speech, deeming Bush a fictitious leader for taking his country into a fictitious war.
"We are against this war, Mr. Bush!" he said. "Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you!"
Even before Moore's outburst, it was hardly the toned-down event that was promised, except for the noticeable absence of glittering jewelry on the women and a few stars arriving, not by limo, but in fuel-efficient cars to deliver a subtle message that American society could perhaps consider becoming less reliant on Middle Eastern oil.
"In light of all the troubles in this world, I wish us all peace," declared a diplomatic supporting actor winner Chris Cooper to broad applause.
"Well I'm glad they cut back on all the glitz." droll MC Steve Martin quipped, backed by a gleaming metallic set dominated by a huge sphere that resembled the old-time Universal Pictures globe-of-the-world logo.
In his opening monologue, Martin poked modest fun at the subtler nature of the show.
"You probably noticed there was no fancy red carpet tonight," he said. "That'll send them a message."
There was a red carpet, but no media gauntlet for arriving stars.
Denied their usual access to the celebs, perennial interviewer Joan Rivers and her daughter Melissa, for their two-hour prelude to the Oscar extravaganza, set up their own little piece of red carpet in a location at the nearby Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel looking down on the entrance to the Kodak Theatre. The show was carried on E Entertainment in the U.S. and picked up by Star, the entertainment information channel in Canada.
Rivers said she was sorry about the war but loved her country and was determined to be funny anyway.
"We're in it, let's win, let's get the sons of bitches out of our lives and let's get back to peacetime," she declared in her introductory remarks.
Rivers also had a suggestion for a suitable post-war punishment for a captured Saddam Hussein, that he should be forced to go work for Diana Ross while his two sons are forced into a sleepover with Michael Jackson.

很多时候大家的想法属于偏激一些・#~也难怪啊・#~~国内那么多报纸总是说美国不好啦2#~~自然大家要跟风・#~~: P
其实许多人在美国打这场战争的时候又想到没有美国被恐怖组织炸伤甚至死去的人们？・#~~他们又有什么错？・#~~
美国独断吗・？#~美国专政吗？・#~美国暴力吗？・#~~
这也只是一种片面的说法而已・#~
要记住哦・#~~一个人身上也会同样存在错误和完美・#~~~
可是・#~~~难道恐怖组织让他们自己的人民当炸弹就很人道值得大家那么去干涉美国？・#~~~~难道恐怖组织对世界的和平做出什么贡献了？・#~~~~~
唉・#~~或许有人又会说我偏袒美国・#~~~可是那么你们那么憎恶美国的感情下比起来我还算公平吧？・#~~~~~

冤枉。你要表达你的“公平”没有关系，没必要给我扣上憎恶美国的帽子。你从哪里看出来我憎恶美国？
看看这里，写的是真正的公平。
BBC 透视：美国炸弹炸碎了什么http://www.comefromchina.com/newbbs/showthread.php?s=&forumid=54&threadid=87688
而且俺真的N年没有看过国内的主流报纸了。世界日报，渥京周末，中华侨报是俺经常看的中文报纸，世界日报是美国人的，后两个有没有中国政府背景俺不清楚，有时闲的无聊俺也会抓份大纪元瞧瞧。外文报纸就是OTTAWACITIZEN和OTTAWASUN。上网主要是CFC，万维和文学城，最近打仗俺又常去CNN和BBC逛逛。真的，都是真话，俺向布什发誓。

唉~~转点东东给你看一哈。具体事务具体分析永远有其正确的一面。不要再自以为公平了。
还有就是美国把伊拉克的广播电视给炸了，伊拉克的网站也给封了，满意了吗？

‘中国媒体对伊报道很平衡’
中国媒体十分关注伊拉克危机以及目前的战况
BBC驻北京记者傅东飞报道：
到目前为止，中国媒体对伊拉克战争的报道看起来出人意料的平衡，令人叹为观止。
要知道，中国政府在战争开始初期就持反战的立场，中国媒体对伊拉克危机的报道也受到了政府的控制。
然而，中国国营电视台正对伊拉克危机进行全天24小时的不间断报道，并向中东地区派出了自己的报道小组。
这与1991年的首次海湾战争和美国遭受9・11恐怖袭击时的报道情况完全不同。当时，中国官方媒体对上述事件的报道几乎可说是新闻封锁。
对中国观众来说，自从伊拉克战事从上星期开始打响后，电视新闻突然变得有意思了。
近来的电视节目里已见不到关于中共党代会的报道，取而代之的是配有动画画面的伊拉克局势的最新发展，相关节目还配有图表和评论员的讲解分析。
更令人叹为观止的是，中国媒体的报道至今为止可以说基本上是平衡的。
中国媒体不仅没有一直围绕中国政府的反战立场进行报道，而且，电视台邀请的嘉宾评论员还对伊拉克战事的多个参与角力者的不同动机进行评论和分析。
譬如，为什么一些阿拉伯国家政府与美国和英国站在一边？
为什么中国记者突然被允许按照他们的耳闻目睹去报道这些新闻事件？
当然，这里面有很大一部分原因是因为这场战争没有直接影响到中国的国家利益。
中国政府并没有在新闻控制方面突然变得更开放，但允许媒体公开报道这场远在天边的战争似乎也不会造成多大的损害。
此外，中国政府也从上次美国遭受9・11恐怖袭击一事中得到教训。在9・11事件发生后数小时，中国电视台被当局禁止播放正在燃烧的纽约世界贸易中心双塔楼。
出于对媒体不作为的厌恶，数百万中国人就只好关掉电视机，转而上互联网寻求相关事件的最新报道。

A letter Moore wrote to Bush.
It is to be found on his home page (moderator; if this is too long, please delete the letter and leave the link):
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
George W. Bush
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington, DC
Dear Governor Bush:
So today is what you call "the moment of truth," the day that "France and the rest of world have to show their cards on the table." I'm glad to hear that this day has finally arrived. Because, I gotta tell ya, having survived 440 days of your lying and conniving, I wasn't sure if I could take much more. So I'm glad to hear that today is Truth Day, 'cause I got a few truths I would like to share with you:
1. There is virtually NO ONE in America (talk radio nutters and Fox News aside) who is gung-ho to go to war. Trust me on this one. Walk out of the White House and on to any street in America and try to find five people who are PASSIONATE about wanting to kill Iraqis. YOU WON'T FIND THEM! Why? 'Cause NO Iraqis have ever come here and killed any of us! No Iraqi has even threatened to do that. You see, this is how we average Americans think: If a certain so-and-so is not perceived as a threat to our lives, then, believe it or not, we don't want to kill him! Funny how that works!
2. The majority of Americans -- the ones who never elected you -- are not fooled by your weapons of mass distraction. We know what the real issues are that affect our daily lives -- and none of them begin with I or end in Q. Here's what threatens us: two and a half million jobs lost since you took office, the stock market having become a cruel joke, no one knowing if their retirement funds are going to be there, gas now costs almost two dollars -- the list goes on and on. Bombing Iraq will not make any of this go away. Only you need to go away for things to improve.
3. As Bill Maher said last week, how bad do you have to suck to lose a popularity contest with Saddam Hussein? The whole world is against you, Mr. Bush. Count your fellow Americans among them.
4. The Pope has said this war is wrong, that it is a SIN. The Pope! But even worse, the Dixie Chicks have now come out against you! How bad does it have to get before you realize that you are an army of one on this war? Of course, this is a war you personally won't have to fight. Just like when you went AWOL while the poor were shipped to Vietnam in your place.
5. Of the 535 members of Congress, only ONE (Sen. Johnson of South Dakota) has an enlisted son or daughter in the armed forces! If you really want to stand up for America, please send your twin daughters over to Kuwait right now and let them don their chemical warfare suits. And let's see every member of Congress with a child of military age also sacrifice their kids for this war effort. What's that you say? You don't THINK so? Well, hey, guess what -- we don't think so either!
6. Finally, we love France. Yes, they have pulled some royal screw-ups. Yes, some of them can be pretty damn annoying. But have you forgotten we wouldn't even have this country known as America if it weren't for the French? That it was their help in the Revolutionary War that won it for us? That our greatest thinkers and founding fathers -- Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, etc. -- spent many years in Paris where they refined the concepts that lead to our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution? That it was France who gave us our Statue of Liberty, a Frenchman who built the Chevrolet, and a pair of French brothers who invented the movies? And now they are doing what only a good friend can do -- tell you the truth about yourself, straight, no b.s. Quit pissing on the French and thank them for getting it right for once. You know, you really should have traveled more (like once) before you took over. Your ignorance of the world has not only made you look stupid, it has painted you into a corner you can't get out of.
Well, cheer up -- there IS good news. If you do go through with this war, more than likely it will be over soon because I'm guessing there aren't a lot of Iraqis willing to lay down their lives to protect Saddam Hussein. After you "win" the war, you will enjoy a huge bump in the popularity polls as everyone loves a winner -- and who doesn't like to see a good ass-whoopin' every now and then (especially when it 's some third world ass!). So try your best to ride this victory all the way to next year's election. Of course, that's still a long ways away, so we'll all get to have a good hardy-har-har while we watch the economy sink even further down the toilet!
But, hey, who knows -- maybe you'll find Osama a few days before the election! See, start thinking like THAT! Keep hope alive! Kill Iraqis -- they got our oil!!
Yours,
Michael Moore
